Offer Description

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. As part of this post-doc, the work will involve combining highly sophisticated numerical analysis and scientific computing tools for the development of C++ simulation codes.

Activities:

• The development of new polytopal numerical methods
• The development of the computational core and the language of the project’s software library.
• The implementation and testing within this same library of schemes for complex problems
