Cluster of Excellence in Simulation Technology
Universität Stuttgart with its 20,000 students and 7,000 employees is one of the leading European Research Universities with a main focus on engineering and natural sciences. Universität Stuttgart is committed to excellent basic and applied research and interdisciplinary academic education. The excellence initiative of the German state and federal governments has approved the funding of the Cluster of Excellence EXC 310 Simulation Technology (SimTech) at Universität Stuttgart (www.simtech.uni-stuttgart.de). In this context, the newly established Stuttgart Research Centre for Simulation Technology (SRC SimTech) is asking for applications for a
PhD student in the Field of Applied Mathematics / Partial Differential Equations
to pursue research in future-orientated research fields.
The position is related to a research project with the aim to develop models and techniques for the efficient numerical simulation of time-dependent processes with changing microstructure. The applications to be studied are solidification processes with microstructures of dendritic morphology and flow processes in porous media with changing pore geometry. The basis of the project is a combination of multi-scale models obtained by homogenization with an adaptive technique to compute microstructure properties. Applicants should have a master or diploma, preferably in mathematics and a good knowledge of numerical methods for partial differential equations.
Applications should be sent to Prof. Dr. Christof Eck (Christof.Eckatmathematik.uni-stuttgart.de), Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation, Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70567 Stuttgart, Germany.
Postdoc and PhDs are expected to participate actively in the SimTech Teaching Programmes and Industry Transfer Concepts.
Applications with the usual documents (CV, degree certificates, references, publication list, letter of motivation) should be sent directly to the Professors/Junior Professors to arrive not later than April 30, 2009.
Universität Stuttgart wishes to increase the proportion of female academic staff and, for this reason, especially welcomes applications from women. Severely challenged persons will be given preference in case of equal qualifications.
