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.
