The Chair of Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Geography at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt invites applications for a position as Doctoral candidate in Applied Mathematics/ Approximation Theory to be filled by the earliest possible starting date.

The place of work will be Ingolstadt. The Chair of Applied Mathematics, headed by Prof. Marcel Oliver, is part of the Mathematical Institute for Machine Learning and Data Science (MIDS) at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. The research group works at the intersection of analysis, modeling and simulation. The advertised position is partly funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) project "Kernel interpolation on Riemannian manifolds", led by Dr. Janin Jäger. The project focuses on the mathematical analysis of kernel-based methods, in particular their interpolation and approximation properties when applied to approximation on spherical surfaces and other Riemannian manifolds.
