Ph.D. POSITION IN NUMERICAL ANALYSIS 100%
Research project
1) Derive rigorous a posteriori error bounds for leapfrog (LF) based LTS methods applied to wave equations.
2) Devise a space-time adaptive algorithm which locally adapts "on the fly" the finite element mesh and the time-step to control the numerical error.
Your main task will be to conduct research on the SNSF project "Space-time Adaptive Explicit Time- Stepping for Wave Propagation", funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
The position also includes a small teaching load (one homework session per week) as a teaching assistant.
- M.Sc. in Mathematics or Applied/Computational Mathematics
- strong background in standard numerical methods for ODE's, PDE's
- strong background in finite element methods (theory and Matlab programming)
- good English communication skills
Please send (.PDF only) your cv, transcript and, if available, certificate of Master's degree together with the names and addresses of two references to Write an email.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. For further inquiries please contact:
