The Chair of Mathematics - Analysis expects to fill a PhD position (75% TV-L E13), pending funding approval. The research for this position will focus on variational multiscale analysis. Its objective is to develop new analytical methods for the rigorous derivation of the effective behavior of thin elastic structures featuring small-scale, periodic reinforcements. The research questions are motivated by concrete applications in medical engineering.
This project is part of the collaborative initiative “MAS-TOB: Multiscale Analysis and Structural Optimization of Patient-Specific Therapeutic Orthoses and Bandages”, conducted jointly with RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and the Fraunhofer Institute ITWM, for which funding from the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is currently under consideration.
The successful candidate will be based at KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, working under the supervision of Prof. Carolin Kreisbeck. The intended starting date is February 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. If you are completing or have recently completed your Master’s in Mathematics (or an equivalent qualification) and are enthusiastic about mathematical research, we would be excited to receive your application to become part of our team.
