Calculus of Variations and Geometric Measure Theory

Three-year PostDoc position (Applied Analysis), TU Dresden, Germany

created by neukamm on 27 Dec 2019

Deadline: 17 jan 2020

In the group of Stefan Neukamm (Chair of Applied Analysis, TU Dresden, Germany) a fixed term position (up to 3 years) as a postdoc (research associate, salary group E 13 TV-L, 100 % about 50K Euro brutto per year) is available at the earliest possible date.

The research in the group focuses on the analysis of multiscale problems for nonlinear partial differential equations and variational problems. We are interested in both theoretical problems (e.g., quantitative stochastic homogenization, regularity theory) as well as problems with applications to continuum mechanics and materials modeling. For further information see https:/tu-dresden.demnmathwirneukammforschung.

Tasks: Active participation in the research and teaching activities of the group.

Requirements: A PhD in Mathematics (or in a closely related field). A strong background in nonlinear PDEs, the calculus of variations. Working background in one or more of the following fields: Homogenization; regularity theory for nonlinear PDEs; nonlinear elasticity; gradient systems. Interest in applications to mechanics.

Please send your application with the usual documents (in particular, including a research statement and contact information for two references) as a single PDF document to stefan.neukamm@tu-dresden.de

The application deadline is January 17th, 2020.
