Research Position at the Institute of Applied Mechanics, TU Braunschweig

We offer a research position in the area of Computational Mechanics with a focus on isogeometric analysis and collocation methods applied to multiscale material modeling, beginning January 1st, 2015. The position is full-time fixed-term for 3 years.

The position is associated with the project "Isogeometric and stochastic collocation methods for nonlinear, probabilistic multi-scale problems in continuum mechanics - development of non-conventional discretization methods, and mechanical and mathematical analysis", which is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Applicants should possess the following qualifications/attributes:

(a) a degree in Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or Physical Sciences;

(b) a solid background in continuum mechanics and numerical methods, and excellent programming skills;

(c) strong motivation and enthusiasm to carry out high-quality research;

(d) ability to work in team but also independently;

(e) proficiency in English. Proficiency in German constitutes an important preferential factor.

If you meet the above requirements and are interested in the position, please email your CV, including your detailed transcripts and a short personal statement explaining why you are interested in the position to Prof. Laura De Lorenzis, l.delorenzis@tu-braunschweig.de, as soon as possible but no later than October 15th, 2014.
