Bergen University College, Faculty of Engineering and Business Administration has 1-2 open positions for PhD research fellows within engineering computing

The PhD research fellows will be affiliated with the faculty's ICT-oriented strategic research programme on ICT engineering (http://prosjekt.hib.no/ict ) which currently includes 20 professors and associate professors, eight PhD students, and a number of master's students.  The ICT engineering research environment at Bergen University College has a strong focus on use-inspired and applied research, and cooperation with national and international research groups and centers, and industry partners. The ICT engineering programme is organized into four main research areas: software engineering, engineering computing, communication systems, and the applications of ICT in engineering.

The PhD research fellows will be part of the research group on engineering computing (http://prosjekt.hib.no/ict/research/engineering-computing/). The group works in the interface between computational mathematics, computer science, and engineering, which include topics from numerical analysis, computational methods for partial differential equations, variational image processing, geometric numerical integration, algebra, operands and algebraic geometry.

The PhD projects will be on the development of advanced techniques for the numerical solution of partial differential equations with applications to problems in engineering. The applicants are expected to have backgrounds in one or several of the following fields of mathematics: geometry, algebra, numerical analysis, scientific computing, and industrial mathematics. Based on the applicants background and interests, possible themes for the PhD projects will be related to problems in variational image processing, finite element methods on curvilinear meshes, finite element exterior calculus, and geometric numerical integration.

The ICT engineering research programme is a joint research undertaking of the Department of Computing, Mathematics and Physics, and the Department of Electrical Engineering with research links to other departments and faculties at Bergen University College. The two departments are responsible for a bachelor programmes in software engineering, information technology, communications technology, electrical engineering, and automation as well as a master's programmes in software engineering and in communication systems. Furthermore, the Department of Computing, Mathematics, and Physics is responsible for teaching the curriculum in mathematics, physics, and statistics in all bachelor programmes at the Faculty. The Faculty of Engineering and Business Administration has approximately 2000 students and 180 staff members. Six departments and one research centre on innovation are located at the faculty.

QualificationsThe successful applicant must have earned a master's degree or equivalent in mathematics, preferably in geometry, numerical analysis, applied mathematics, or a closely related field, or the applicant has submitted the master's thesis before the application deadline. In the latter case, it is required that the master's degree be awarded within 4 weeks after the application deadline. Background from several fields of mathematics will be considered an advantage when the candidates are ranked.
