Offer Description

- work environment: The recruited researcher will carry out research tasks in IMAG, within the ERC NEMESIS project team, led in IMAG by two principal investigators, Jérôme Droniou (CNRS) and Daniele Di Pietro (University of Montpellier). Located on the Campus Triolet of the University of Montpellier, IMAG is one of the gateways to mathematics in “Occitanie-est” Region. It comprises about 170 members and is structured into 4 research teams : Analysis, Numerical Analysis, and Scientific Computing (ACSIOM), Didactics and Epistemology of Mathematics (DEMA), Probability and Statistics (EPS), and Geometry, Topology, and Algebra (GTA).

- main mission: The candidate will have to carry out research on the themes of the ERC NEMESIS Synergy project(see https://erc-nemesis.eu/ ).

The aim of this project is to build an integrated computing chain based on "Discrete de Rham" methods, the main feature of which is to reproduce subtle mathematical properties expressed by Hilbert complexes at the discrete level. The developments envisaged within the NEMESIS project involve combining highly sophisticated tools for numerical analysis, scientific computing, algebraic topology and non-linear analysis.

- activities:

• The development of new polytopal numerical methods
• The conception of discrete complexes (de Rham and extended complexes)
• The application to various models of MHD and flows in porous media
• The numerical analysis of the schemes
• The development of the computational kernel of the NEMESIS software library.
• Implementation and tests within the above-mentioned library.

The net monthly salary is between €2,200 and €2,380

The contract duration is 12 months
