junior professorship in Karlsruhe - time dependent PDE

created by orlandi on 10 Dec 2012

Deadline: 3 jan 2013

Deadline: until 3.1.2013

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) emerged following the fusion of the University of Karlsruhe (TH) and the Karlsruhe Research Centre.

A unique institution was thus founded within Germany merging the missions of a university and the Helmholtz Association research center.

With 9000 employees and an annual budget of 700 million euro, the KIT ranks among the largest research and educational institutions worldwide.

Two Assistant Professorships (W1 Juniorprofessur) for "time-dependent partial differential equations"

are to be occupied at the earliest possible date in the Institute for Analysis and Institute for Applied and Numerical Mathematics of the KIT faculty of mathematics. We are currently searching for two young research scientists, whose research field encompasses the analysis andor numerics of time-dependent partial differential equations. An interest in the application to natural scientific or technical questions as well as the preparedness for interdisciplinary cooperation is welcomed. The two research scientists are to support the research focus partial differential equations.

The W1 professorships are temporary and recruitment is based on temporary civil servant status. After a four-year period, following positive evaluation further employment for up to a maximum of six years is possible. The preconditions for employment are, for example, excellent scientific achievements as part of an excellent Ph.D, as well as didactic applicability. § 51 LHG Baden-Württemberg applies. KIT endeavors to increase the number of female professors and thus welcomes the application of qualified female scientists. Severely disabled applicants will be considered with corresponding qualifications. Please submit your applications – preferably in electronic form – by 3 January, 2013, to the
