Research Assistant Position (f/m/d) (Ref. 26/12)

Postdoctoral-level research on optimisation with partial differential equations and variational inequalities in the WIAS group Nonsmooth Variational Problems and Operator Equations. Topics of particular interest are nonsmooth coupled systems, data-driven and machine-learning approaches to modelling and optimisation, variational problems in mathematical image processing, nonlinear inverse problems and problems with stochastic or uncertain components, combining analysis with the development and implementation of numerical methods.

The role includes publishing, presenting at conferences and co-supervising students.

A very good degree and an excellent doctorate in mathematics, with experience in optimisation with PDEs or nonsmooth variational problems in image processing, including computer implementation of numerical methods; postdoctoral experience is desired. Initially limited to two years on the TVöD Bund scale with a long-term perspective; mobile working is possible. Applications go through the WIAS applicant portal, and the advert stays open until the position is filled.
