Two postdoc positions and four doctoral scholarships,
Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR),
University of Heidelberg/Germany

The IWR offers
        - 2 postdoctoral positions and
        - 4 positions for doctoral students
within projects funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education,
Science, Research and Technology (BMBF), BASF AG, and the Helmholtz
Association.

The research work involves
        - the development of optimal control and optimization methods,
        - of algorithms for nonlinear optimal experimental design and
          parameter estimation
        - in Systems Biology, Reaction Kinetics and Chemical Engineering.
The algorithms will be designed and implemented in collaboration with
scientists from the application fields in academia and industry.

The positions are available for a period of three years, starting on
November 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008.

Post-doc positions: The salary is regulated by the German TV-L
contract according to TVL-13. Doctoral positions: Scholarships of
approx. 17.400 EUR per year are available. There are no tuition fees.
The research work should result in a PhD in Applied Mathematics
within three years.

The ideal candidates have a solid background in numerical methods for
nonlinear constrained optimization problems in differential equations
and respectively discretization methods for large-scale
differential-algebraic equations.

Experience in the specification and implementation of user friendly
application software including programming skills in C resp. C++ are
necessary. Interest in interdisciplinary research is a must. Fluency
in English is required, a basic knowledge of German could be helpful.

For the post-doc positions, a doctoral degree in Mathematics or
Computer Science is required. For the doctoral positions, an
above-average master's or diploma degree in Mathematics or a
neighboring field with a strong Scientific Computing part or an
equivalent qualification is required.

Applications including a detailed CV, list of publications,
photograph, copies of diploma, the names of 3 possible referees, and
an abstract of the PhD resp. master's or diploma thesis should be
sent (preferably electronically) to

Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR)
Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Hans Georg Bock
Heidelberg University
Im Neuenheimer Feld 368
69120 Heidelberg, Germany

email: SciCom at iwr.uni-heidelberg.de

Applications must arrive by noon on September 15, 2007.
