PhD student position (f/m/d) (Ref. 26/11)

Doctoral research in the WIAS group Nonsmooth Variational Problems and Operator Equations on optimisation or inverse problems governed by partial differential equations. Problems of interest involve artificial intelligence and machine learning, nonsmooth components, or uncertainty and stochastic influences; the work combines their analysis with the design and implementation of efficient solution algorithms, under close mentorship by the principal investigators.

A master's degree in mathematics with a strong background in mathematical optimisation and good experience with the theory and numerics of partial differential equations. Three-year part-time appointment (29.25 hours per week) paid on the German TVöD Bund scale; German is not required. Applications go through the WIAS applicant portal, and the advert stays open until the position is filled.
