PhD research position on Numerical Methods within the Collaborative Research Center SFB/Transregio 7 “Gravitational Wave Astronomy” is available from January 2011 at Jena University.
The PhD project will focus on the development and implementation of numerical methods for second order wave equations, including Finite Element and discontinuous Galerkin methods. A background in one or more of the following is considered advantageous: numerical methods for PDEs, differential geometry, exterior calculus, general relativity, working experience in high-level programming languages, parallel computing.
