Field of Research: Multiphysics Simulation of Hemodynamics, Treatment, and Long-Term Perspective of Cerebral Aneurysms Using Lattice Boltzmann Methods.

As part of the second phase of the DFG funded Priority Programme SPP2311, the Chair of Numerical Mathematics under the leadership of Frau Prof. Dr. Barbara Wohlmuth is seeking a candidate for a PhD or postdoctoral position (100%) within the above named field of research. The position is initially for 2 years with extensions possible depending on project extension and / or personal performance.
Candidates should have an interest in applied mathematics, programming experience, and a passion for a practice-oriented project involving real data and applications.
Responsibilities:
Specific tasks within the project include
• Mathematical derivation, analysis, and comparison of models, methods, and simulation approaches.
• Rapid prototyping of new ideas in custom code.
• Implementation of new models, methods, and algorithms into an existing framework, with a focus on efficiency.
• Creation and execution of relevant simulation pipelines: from real data to mathematical and clinically actionable results.
• Publication of results in the scientific community (journals, conference contributions, lecture presentations, etc.) in English.

Requirements:
• A completed degree (Master’s) in Applied Mathematics, CSE, or comparable programs with above-average results.
• Good programming skills and experience in C++ and Python.
• Knowledge (acquired during a Master’s program / Dissertation) in numerical methods and simulation, particularly for partial differential equations.
• Basic knowledge in mathematical modeling with/and partial differential equations, with a focus on fluid or biomechanics, porous media.
• Optional/advantageous: Experience with Lattice-Boltzmann methods and their implementation, as well as high-performance computing experience.
• A solid command of English in speaking and writing. Knowledge of German is not required.

We offer:
• a dynamic and international team of scientists from various disciplines, as well as collaboration with international partners
• a young and ambitious research environment at an internationally renowned university with good connections to some of the leading research institutes and industry participants worldwide
• An exciting and diverse project within a nationwide research network with numerous opportunities for development.
• Modern hardware and infrastructure at the workplace, ranging from compute and GPU servers to supercomputers.
• Project-based work towards a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) at TUM based on the project topic.
• Salary based on the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service of the Länder (TV-L) up to TV-L13. The actual salary depends on academic experience, tax classification etc.
