*Research Position (d/f/m)*
*(reference code: WA 71/18)*
*pay grade E 13 – TV-L Berlin (100%)*
The position is offered starting on 2019-02-01 and will be a fixed-term
contract for two years with the option to be extended.
*Tasks*
In the frame of the Cluster of Excellence MATH+, continuous optimal
control techniques for flight trajectory planning shall be combined with
discrete graph-based path optimization methods for aircraft flight
planning. Aims are both a theoretical understanding of their
relationship in terms of existence and uniqueness results as well as
approximation error estimates on one hand, and the development of
efficient hybrid methods for path optimization.
We offer a challenging professional environment with excellent equipment
and a friendly working atmosphere. In addition, Berlin offers a rich
mathematical landscape, which is particularly interesting due to the
excellence platform ECMath with the research center Matheon and the
Berlin Mathematical School for junior researchers. We offer the
possibility for further qualification and strong support for your
top-level research with international visibility. We also support the
participation in international and national conferences.
*Requirements:*
* Master degree in mathematics or comparable subject
* experience in several of the following areas: numerical analysis,
optimal control, combinatorial optimization
* good programming skills in C/C++ and Matlab/Octave
* good command of spoken and written English
We expect communication and teamwork skills, creativity, as well as a
high degree of independence and commitment.
The institute also offers a family-friendly working environment with
flexible working and meeting times. Although the position is full-time,
a part-time agreement is also possible
The candidature of women is encouraged. Since women are underrepresented
in information technology, ZIB is trying to increase the proportion of
women in this research area.
Persons with disabilities will be given preference, when equally qualified.
