Wuppertal, Germany
Description
The postdoc position is part of the project nanoCOPS (Nanoelectronic Coupled Problems Solutions) funded by the European Commission within FP7. The tasks consist in numerical simulation of coupled problems for modelling electronic building blocks (like circuits). Thus the work is in the field of scientific computing, where mathematical modelling and methods are applied in electronic engineering. The implementation of algorithms in an industrial simulation environment represents a crucial part of the work (approx. 30% of the workload).
A position of a postdoctoral research fellow is available at the Chair of Applied Mathematics and Numerical Analysis within the University of Wuppertal, Germany, starting on November 1, 2013, or later, for a period of three years. Salary is E 13 TV-L (German system).
Duties and responsibilities: This position is part of the project nanoCOPS (Nanoelectronic Coupled Problems Solutions) funded by the European Commission. The tasks consist in numerical simulation of coupled problems for modelling electronic building blocks (like circuits). Here couplings between electromagnetic fields, electronic circuits and heat should be properly simulated. Hence knowledge is required on numerical methods for partial differential equations. A focus is on techniques for uncertainty quantification. This work will be done in cooperation with the University of Greifswald, Germany. The implementation of algorithms in an industrial simulation environment represents a crucial part of the work (approx. 30% of the workload). The research fellow will be located at our partner University of Greifswald, Germany, for the most time of the project. During implementation, secondments to our industrial partner in Leuven, Belgium, are envisaged.
Requirements
Scientific and personal requirements: completed graduate degree, PhD in Mathematics or Computer Science, good programming skills, good knowledge on numerical analysis and simulation, basic knowledge on electric circuits, willingness to teamwork, good skills in English language.
