Junior Professor (W1)
Mathematics of Uncertainty Quantification
Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science
and Natural Science
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 following areas: mathematical and numerical
analysis of stochastic problems, applied probability theory or
statistics. Particular expertise on I) multilevel and multi-index
hierarchical approximation/sampling, II) stochastic particle systems,
III) optimal experimental design or IV) high performance
computing will be specially valued. This position is affiliated with
the Chair for Mathematics 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 for Mathematics of Uncertainty Quantification. The duration
of the junior professorship is limited to 3 years and can be
extended for additional 3 years after a positive interim evaluation.
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.
