PhD Fellowship/Postdoc Position [3 y (75/100%); master degree in mathematics with outstanding grades; some background in function spaces and (applied and computational) harmonic analysis; good programming skills; 13 TV-L] / University of Osnabrück / deadline September 15

UNIVERSITÄT OSNABRÜCK

We are currently offering a

in Mathematics at the Chair of Applied Analysis of the University of Osnabrück, Germany, starting from 1st November 2008.

The employment will be based on the pool of applicants and their respective qualifications, either as a PhD fellowship (75 %) or as a postdoc-position (100%) for a period of three years.

A master degree in mathematics with outstanding grades is expected. There is the possibility for a doctorate or postdoc lecture qualification respectively.

The position is part of a joint project between the Chair of Applied Analysis, University of Osnabrück (G. Kutyniok), the Institut für Geometrie und Praktische Mathematik, RWTH Aachen (W. Dahmen), and the Seminar for Applied Mathematics, ETH Zurich (C. Schwab). A central theme of the project will be the mathematical analysis and the computer implementation of directional representation systems in adaptive discretization methods for partial differential equations.

Good programming skills as well as some background in function spaces and (applied and computational) harmonic analysis are a must.

The University of Osnabrück aims for the increase of the proportion of women and would therefore expressively ask adequately qualified women for their application.

We also welcome applications from persons with disabilities.

Please apply by sending your certificates, curriculum vitae plus any publications (preferably electronically as pdf-files) to the Dean of the Department Prof. Dr. Joachim Hertzberg, dekan@mathematik.uni-osnabrueck.de or to Prof. Dr. Gitta Kutyniok (currently at Stanford University), kutyniok@stanford.edu by 15th September 2008. For any further information please contact Mrs. Kutyniok.
