Subject: Summer School, Advanced Domain Decomposition Methods, Germany, Sep 2020

We are pleased to announce the Summer School on Advanced Domain

Decomposition Methods, in Konstanz, Germany.



The goal of this summer school is to introduce basic and advanced

domain decomposition methods to researchers interested in

understanding these methods, and to give them detailed insight on how

these methods reduce various error components and are used in

practice.  The course will cover domain decomposition methods for

various problems ranging from classical stationary partial

differential equations (PDEs) to time-dependent problems, passing

through PDEs with high-contrast coefficients, heterogeneous problems

and PDE-constrained optimization problems.



The school is suitable for young mathematitians (PhD students and

highly motivated Master Students), who wish to either get in touch

with domain decomposition methods, as well as young researchers and

Post-doc who desire to strengthen and broaden their knowledge on

advanced domain decomposition techniques.



The summer school will be held in September 21-25, 2020 at the

University of Konstanz and is free of fees. Scholarships for travel

and/or local costs are available for excellent young researchers upon

request.

Subject: PhD or Postdoc Position, Fluid mechanic shape optimization, Koblenz Univ

The Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Complex Systems Group of

Michael Hinze at the University Koblenz-Landau is inviting

applications for a research position in Shape Optimization with Phase

Field Models.  The position is subject to the German law on fixed-term

contracts in science (WissZeitVG). The position can be filled

immediately and is limited to three years for doctoral students with

salary according to 0,75 EGr 13 TV-L, and to two years for

postdoctoral researchers according to a full salary EGr. 13 TV-L. The

successful candidate will work in the Modeling, Simulation, and

Optimization of Complex Systems Group of the University

Koblenz-Landau.



Topic: This project is part of the Priority Programme 1962 of the

German Research Foundation and aims at introducing, analyzing and

numerically realizing well-posed formulations of shape optimization

problems with instationary fluid flow. This will be achieved by

utilizing a phase-field ansatz and associated non-smooth homogeneous

free energy densities, which yield robust numerical approximations

and, for the sake of efficient computations, admit several levels of

model reduction ranging from adaptive meshing to proper orthogonal

decomposition. Moreover, a Darcy-type approach allows to

simultaneously optimize the topology of the fluid domain. This is a

joint project with the research group of Professor Hintermuller

located in Berlin at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis

and Stochastics. Both groups enjoy a history of successful

collaboration on other projects relating to optimization subject to

fluid flow.



Requirements: The successful candidate requires a master degree in

Applied Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering or Computational Physics,

ideally with a strong background in numerical methods for PDEs and

nonlinear programming, as well as experience in numerical fluid

mechanics. Fluency in both written and spoken English and the ability

to work in an interdisciplinary team are mandatory. Additional

knowledge in modern scientific programming is desired. Very strong

problem-solving skills, willingness to learn, ability to work

independently, experience/willingness in writing publications and good

presentation skills are essential.  Please contact Prof. Dr. Michael

Hinze (phone: +49 (0)261/287-2310 or e-mail: [log in to unmask]) for

further information.

percentage of female employees. If equally qualified, preference will

be given to female applicants in fields where they are

underrepresented. Disabled candidates are given priority, if equally

qualified. International candidates are highly encouraged to apply.



Applications should include a letter of motivation, complete

curriculum vitae with a list of publications and presentations,

certificates etc. Please send your application, quoting the reference

number Ko 46/2019, before April 1st, 2020 by e-mail in a single PDF
