Stillingstittel:
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Numerical Analysis/Partial Differential

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.

Position as Postdoctoral Research Fellowship available at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Oslo.

The Department of Mathematics is seeking candidates for a two (2) year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship position in numerical methods for partial differential equations. For a description of The Department of Mathematics, see here.

Starting date no later than 01.10.2016. No one can be appointed for more than one fixed-term period at the same institution.

Job description:

The activity at the department in partial differential equations ranges from basic theory to the study of numerical methods for various classes of problems. In particular, there has been a focus on problems related to hyperbolic conservation laws and on the theoretical foundation of compatible discretizations methods for partial differential equations. For a presentation of the research group in partial differential equations, see here.

The chosen applicant will have to be able to work with topics related to numerical methods for partial differential equations. Depending on the interest of the applicant, the research topics can be targeted to more theoreretical research or to more applied problems related to applications and implementations.

The present position is attached to the ERC project "Finite Element Exterior Calculus and Applications," see here.

Requirements/qualifications:

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in numerical methods for partial differential equations.

The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their disciplines.

Please also refer to the regulations pertaining to the conditions of employment for postdoctoral fellowship positions. A good command of English is required.

Salary:

Position code 1352, Pay grade: 57 - 65 (NOK 483 700 – 560 700 per year).
