Open Positions

The German Science foundation (DFG) has established the new Priority Programme

SPP 2410 Hyperbolic Balance Laws in Fluid Mechanics: Complexity, Scales, Randomness (CoScaRa).

CoScaRa is collaborative research initiative that comprises more than twenty individual projects with participating researchers from Germany and Switzerland. It focusses on the investigation of hyperbolic balance laws as the basic mathematical models to describe transport-dominated flow processes in natural and engineering sciences. The interdisciplinary approach of researchers from mathematics and fluid mechanics targets fundamental questions about distinctive hyperbolic features like shock-wave interference and shear instabilities in rough flow fields. These connect to a grand challenge in fluid mechanics: understanding the laws of turbulent fluid motion on the basis of the continuum-scale mathematical models.

To support individual projects CoScaRa offers several positions for highly motivated and talented

doctoral and postdoctoral researchers,

starting as of November 1, 2023, or as soon as thereafter, for a duration of up to 36 months.

Your qualification:

Successful candidates are expected to hold a MSc degree in mathematics, engineering sciences or a related discipline. You have profound knowledge in the mathematical analysis of evolution equations in fluid mechanics, its numerical simulation, in stochastic analysis, or in theoretical fluid mechanics. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team, good communication skills and command of English language (C1 level, written and spoken) complete your profile.

Your benefits:

• Remuneration based on the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector of the Federal States (TV-L) at salary scale 13, depending on the candidate’s personal qualifications
• Cooperative research in a network of outstanding teams with excellent infrastructure for training and research
• Individual career mentoring programme, extensive methods courses and soft skill work-shops

Please submit your application not later than November 30, 2023 to JoinUS following the guidelines below. Applications will be continuously screened until the positions are filled. Information on the scientific programme of CoScaRa and the participating teams can be found on this website or by contacting our office at spp2410@mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de.

All institutions with projects in CoScaRa are committed to diversity, diversity of perspectives and equal opportunity. Applications from people with a disability and their peers are especially welcome, people with a disability are preferred if equally qualified. Furthermore, we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourage women to apply.
