Type of position
Postdoc position, RWTH Aachen
Project title
Uncertainty Quantification and Machine Learning
Project description
The Alexander von Humboldt Chair of Mathematics for Uncertainty Quantification (MATH4UQ) of Prof. Raul Tempone at RWTH Aachen invites applications for several postdoctoral positions. The successful candidates will perform mathematical and computational research and become an active part of an international research network with a wide scope and high visibility. The main scope of the MATH4UQ Chair is to develop efficient numerical methods for solving forward and inverse problems, including optimal control and optimal experimental design, involving stochastic and random differential equations. Successful candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in mathematics, computer science, computational engineering sciences, or related fields. They should have expertise in at least one of the following areas: uncertainty quantification, machine learning, data science, numerical analysis, stochastic optimal control, stochastic optimization, optimal experimental design, inverse problems as well as stochastic simulation and approximation. The position comes with a teaching duty. Required: * Ph.D. degree in mathematics, computer science, computational engineering sciences, or related fields, * High motivation, the ability to carry out research independently as well as to work in interdisciplinary teams, * Proficiency in written and spoken English. Desired: * Experience in performing collaborative research, * Experience teaching in German, proficiency in written and spoken German. What we offer: * Wide scope, world-class interdisciplinary scientific research within a highly connected and motivated team. Applications must contain a letter of motivation, a CV including a list of publications, and copies of degree certificates, along with contact details of at least two academic referees. Please forward your application package to Prof. Tempone at tempone@uq.rwth-aachen.de. For full consideration, please apply by September 30, 2021. However, applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
