PhD research fellowship position in computational mathematics

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at NTNU announces a vacant PhD research fellowship position in computational mathematics.

The position is connected to the numerics group,

the research will focus on development and analysis of efficient computational methods for solving parameterized partial differential equations.
Special focus will be on reduced basis methods, as well as high order discretization methods.
One application area will be numerical solution of the Boltzmann equation for diluted fluids.

The project is funded by NTNU as part of the research effort within the ICT strategic area at the University.

The position is administratively part of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering at the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology (NTNU); see www.math.ntnu.no/ for more information.

Currently,the Department has about 45 PhD students.
PhD fellows mastering a Scandinavian language are normally employed for 4 years, 25 % of which is
mandatory work for the Department. The mandatory work consists primarily of teaching, or work related to teaching, and the larger part of this work is done during the first half of the employment
period.
PhD fellows who do not have command of a Scandinavian language are initially offered employment for 3 years.
The employment period may be extended by 6 to 12 months, against a
period of teaching, or teaching related work, of the same length.

The applicant must have completed a master degree, or equivalent, within computational mathematics.
The applicant must fulfill the requirements for doctoral studies at NTNU (see
www.ime.ntnu.no/english/research/phd.

For further information please contact Professor Einar Rønquist, Department of Mathematical
sciences, NTNU, Norway (tel +47 73 59 35 47,).

PhD fellows are placed in salary code 1017, which currently corresponds to a yearly gross income of
NOK 325.600 (pay scale level 43). From this 2 % will be deducted for mandatory membership in the National Pension Fund.

The appointment will be made in accordance with current regulations with supplementary rules for
research fellowship appointments in universities and polytechnics.
Applicants must agree to participate in organized doctoral study programs within the period of the appointment. The successful
applicant must agree to the conditions laid down for public employees.
Candidates will be required to enroll in a PhD program within the period of employment, and must sign a contract regulating the starting date and duration of employment as well as the mandatory work.

According to Norwegian policies, the government workforce should, as closely as possible, reflect the diversity of the population at large. It is therefore a goal of NTNU, as a government institution, to have a workforce which is balanced with respect to age and gender, and to recruit persons of
immigrant background. NTNU also wishes to increase the number of women on its workforce, and women are specifically encouraged to apply.

The application must include

information about education, exams and earlier experience.
certified copies of certificates and diplomas must be enclosed.
relevant scientific works should be submitted in triplicate.
Joint works will be taken into account. In cases where it is difficult to determine the
applicant’s contribution, a short note of explanation should be supplied.

Applications should be sent to:

Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering
NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway

Deadline: April 4, 2008.
Applications should be marked: IME 015-2008.
