[DMANET] Junior Professor (W1), Mathematics of Uncertainty Quantification (with Tenure Track W2)

Junior Professor (W1) Mathematics of Uncertainty Quantification (with
Tenure Track W2)

at RWTH Aachen University, Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and
Natural Sciences

We are seeking qualified applicants for teaching and research in the
area of mathematics related to Uncertainty Quantification. The starting
date is as soon as possible. Candidates are expected to have a visible
research agenda and distinguished expertise in Uncertainty
Quantification with strong competency in at least one of the areas:
mathematical and numerical analysis of stochastic problems, statistics,
applied probability theory or *optimization*. Particular expertise on
data assimilation, molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics, conservation
laws and a posteriori error analysis for stochastic problems will be
specially valued. This position is affiliated with the Chair of
Uncertainty Quantification and the Department of Mathematics. The
successful candidate should on the one hand initiate and develop
interdisciplinary collaborations with other research groups at RWTH, in
particular, engineering and natural sciences. On the other hand, he/she
is expected to further develop the methodological activities within the
Chair of Uncertainty Quantification.

You should have a completed university degree and a special aptitude for
scientific work which is generally verified by means of an outstanding
doctorate. Ability in and commitment to teaching are essential. The
application should include supporting documents regarding success in
teaching. German is not necessary to begin but will be expected as a
teaching language within 5 years.

Please send a cover letter stating research aims and a CV to:

Dekan der Fakultät für Mathematik, Informatik und Naturwissenschaften
der RWTH Aachen University,
Prof. Dr. Stefan Schael,
52056 Aachen, Germany.

You can also send your application via email to
dekan@fb1.rwth-aachen.de. Please note, however, that communication via
unencrypted e-mail poses a threat to confidentiality as it is
potentially vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties.

The deadline for applications is 21 September 2018.

This position is also available as part-time employment per request.
