Offer Description

Funded by the German Research Foundation, the Collaborative Research Center CRC 1701 “Port-Hamiltonian Systems” at University of Wuppertal, Germany, invites applications for a Postdoc position on Benchmarking in Applied Mathematics.

You will conduct interdisciplinary research and work in the context of port-Hamiltonian systems. One of your goals is to set up and maintain a benchmark platform for competitive comparisons of computer-aided methods for solving model systems. This is done with a high degree of personal responsibility. Your work will cover the entire spectrum from the definition of model problems with analysis criteria, to the implementation of a software library for the extraction of analysis parameters, to community work, including workshops and scientific conferences. You will cooperate across groups with researchers in the field of Port Hamiltonian systems.

Responsibilities and duties

• development, maintenance and scientific support of a benchmark platform in the
  project “Benchmark Platform for pHS” of the SFB 1701,
• independent research in the context of the SFB 1701,
• publication of scientific articles, presentation of results at workshops and conferences, including community work for the platform,
• attendance at and involvement in the events of the CRC 1701 and interdisciplinary cooperation, participation in colloquia of the CRC 1701.

Professional and Personal Requirements

• completed degree (master or equivalent) in mathematics, computer science, physics
  or a related field,
• strong analytical skills and proven research performance in port-Hamiltonian systems or a related area,
• sound knowledge of one or more programming languages (e.g.: Python, Matlab) and
  interest in developing a benchmark platform for computer-based models in
  mathematics,
• ideally knowledge of data-driven and engineering applications,
• a good command of English,
• competent personality with initiative and commitment,
• high degree of independence and self-reliant work with pleasure in intensive
  interaction with the scientific community.
