Advisor: Prof. Richard Höfer
Location: Regensburg University
The PhD will be funded by the French-German project Derivation and analysis of effective suspension models .
Within Analysis of (nonlinear) PDEs, the topic of the PhD will be the rigorous understanding of complex phenomena in particle-laden fluids
and involve tools from fluid dynamics, homogenization, kinetic theory, optimal transport, and/or stochastic analysis.
Regensburg University has a very active PDE community. In addition to the French-German project
SUSPENSIONS, the successful candidate will be
integrated into the scientific environment of the
research training group IntComSin , which provides a lively working environment.
In particular, the doctoral student will benefit from a structured course programme in partial differential equations, calculus of
variations, numerical analysis, scientific computing, mathematical modeling, and professional skills. Moreover, we offer numerous possibilities of
scientific exchange both on the national and on the international level.
The salary is around 2.100 euros per month after taxes.
Candidates should hold or shortly acquire a Master degree in mathematics and should be highly motivated mathematicians with a strong background and interest in the analysis of PDEs and topics in the project SUSPENSIONS.
Candidates are requested to send their application including
- a one page cover letter
- a detailed curriculum vitae
- an academic transcript of Bachelor and Master education including grades
- their master thesis (or a chapter of it or an extensive summary)
