The University of Groningen has a vacancy for a postdoc in applied mathematics within the new project “HiWAVE: Natural Hazard Prediction with Adaptive Hierarchical Models.”.
HiWAVE predicts free-surface waves by developing adaptive hierarchical models. A main novelty is to combine recently developed moment models with model adaptivity, i.e., using different model equations in different parts of the physical domain. This will be made possible using the hierarchical structure of the moment models. The outcome will be both accurate and fast-reduced models that achieve high efficiency.
This postdoc position is within the mathematical modelling group of Assistant Professor Dr. Julian Koellermeier, embedded in the Computational and Numerical Mathematics research unit of the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence. The project is set up to include interdisciplinary collaborations with other researchers from the fields of fluid dynamics, applied mathematics, or computer science.
This position gives plenty of opportunities to develop an academic portfolio via
- Significant impact and publication output as part of the NWO VIDI project.
- Visibility and networking opportunities via the project and the PI’s connections.
- Co-supervision of undergraduate students and PhD students.
- Training programs that strengthen your skillset.
- Active participation in the institute’s seminars and meetings.
- The possibility for additional paid teaching duties.
Duration: 2 years
Salary
- A gross monthly salary of €4,020 in the first year to a maximum of €4,340 depending on relevant work experience after attaining a PhD.
- A holiday allowance of 8% of gross annual income and an 8.3% year-end bonus.
- Travel budget via the PI’s NWO VIDI project to attend national and international conferences and workshops.
- Training budget to attend soft-skill seminars and training at the University of Groningen.
- The possibility to co-supervise undergraduate and graduate students.
Job Requirements
The ideal candidate should have:
- an excellent and motivated candidate with a PhD in Applied Mathematics (or equivalent).
- A solid background in numerical methods for PDEs and numerical analysis is necessary.
- Knowledge of fluid dynamics and free-surface flows is required.
- Candidates should have experience with scientific programming (e.g., using MATLAB, Python, or C++).
- Very good communication and writing skills in English.
- Experience supervising students is a plus.
Application Process
Interested applicants are to submit a complete application, including:
- Letter of motivation.
- CV (including contact information for at least two academic references).
- Transcripts from bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD degrees.
