Job opening: 3-years postdoc position
I am offering a postdoc position in my research group.
This is a research-oriented position without teaching duties. However, the successful candidate can choose to teach advanced topics classes at the University of Bonn. The appointment will be for 3 years with a flexible start date no later than October 2021.
Possible research directions include but are not limited to:
- geometric evolution equations including multiphase mean curvature flow
- singular limits of phase-field equations, in particular vectorial problems
- analysis and development of numerical methods for geometric evolution equations
- dynamics of material defects including Ginzburg-Landau-type approximations
- thin films in fluid dynamics and materials science
The successful candidate should have a strong background in at least one of the following areas:
- Calculus of Variations
- Analysis of PDEs
- Numerical Methods for PDEs
- Theory of Gradient Flows
- Geometric Analysis
Information about the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics and my research group may be found at www.hcm.uni-bonn.de and www.iam.uni-bonn.de/users/laux, respectively. Please feel free to contact me by email if you have further questions.
Applications should be sent before December 22, 2020 to my email address tim.laux(at)hcm.uni-bonn.de. Later applications will be considered until the position is filled. For interested candidates who have also applied for a HCM postdoc position this year, please contact me by email to express your interest; in that case, no further application documents are required.
Applications should consist of a research statement and a CV including a publication list. Furthermore, candidates should arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to my email address tim.laux(at)hcm.uni-bonn.de.
