The CRC has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015. Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.
The proposed doctoral project concerns the mathematical analysis of dispersive phenomena in fluid flows related to the propagation of nonlinear waves and their properties.
We seek ambitious doctoral researchers with an interest in analysis and PDEs. Within the project, you will learn and combine techniques from mathematical fluid mechanics and nonlinear dispersive PDEs. You will become part of the established research group “Nonlinear PDES” at the Institute of Analysis and you will have the opportunity to attend courses, conferences, workshops, and summer schools. Engagement in teaching is encouraged.
The following qualifications are required:
• Excellent Master’s or an equivalent degree in Mathematics.
• Strong background in analysis and partial differential equations.
• We expect good writing and oral communication skills in English, along with the ability to work independently within an international team.
The remuneration is based on the wage agreement of the civil service in TV-L E13 (75%). Contract duration is 3 years with a possibility of extension.
Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interest, contact information for two referees, and copies of degree certificate(s) in one PDF.
Please apply electronically via office@waves.kit.edu until July 31st, 2025. For further information about the project, please contact Dr. Lars Eric Hientzsch (lars.hientzsch@kit.edu) and visit https://www.math.kit.edu/iana10/en.
