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