3-Year research position (PhD or Postdoc) on Inverse Problems and Nonlinear PDEs TU Chemnitz (Germany)

created by zeppieri1 on 21 Jan 2019

Deadline: 10 feb 2019

A three-year research position (PhD or Postdoc) is available within the group Inverse Problems and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations at Technische Universitaet Chemnitz, led by Jan-F. Pietschmann.

The successful candidate will (roughly) work in the direction of cross-diffusion equations with size exclusion, systems of Cahn-Hilliard equations and sharp interface limits. According to the interests of the candidate, other directions are also possible. More information about the research in our group can be found on
