PhD position in numerical linear algebra, Switzerland
PhD position in numerical linear algebra
The Seminar for Applied Mathematics of ETH Zuerich (http://www.sam.math.ethz.ch/) offers a full PhD position on “Robust numerical methods for solving nonlinear eigenvalue problems”, a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation in the framework of the SNF Pro*Doc NUMPDE (http://www.zgsm.ch/?numpde).
Nonlinear eigenvalue problems (NLEVPs) arise in a variety of applications, including Micro- Electro-Mechanical-Systems, electronic structure calculation, nonlinear viscoelastic models, fluid-structure interaction and dynamical systems with time delays. Developing an efficient and robust solver for a decently general class of NLEVPs is a challenging task and offers fascinating research opportunities.
The position is temporary and limited to 3-4 years after a three month period of probation. The holder will be regular ETH research staff and receive a gross salary of roughly 66,000 Swiss Francs (about EUR 41.000, USD 55.000). The position will involve teaching of tutorial lectures, supervision of undergraduate students, and grading of examinations.
Candidates must have a master or diploma degree in mathematics, a (computational) engineering discipline, or in (computational) science. Their education record should indicate strong interest and exceptional skills in numerical analysis as well as familiarity with numerical linear algebra and numerical methods for the approximate solution of partial differential equations.
Knowledge of German is not required, but the candidates must possess good communication skills and should be fluent in English, both oral and in writing. Applications should be sent electronically (as PDF files) to Ms. Wolf
(hwolf@sam.math.ethz.ch). They must include • a curriculum vita;
• a complete record of academic education including grades and all achievements;
• abstracts of theses (master etc.) and descriptions of projects done before graduation
(include theses, reports and papers, if possible);
• complete addresses (including e-mail) of two established academic researchers who
can give an assessment of the candidate’s skills.
Informal requests on the project may be sent to Prof. Dr. Daniel Kressner
(kressner@math.ethz.ch).
Deadline: August 31, 2009 (position may be filled on a first come first served basis).
