Postdoc position financed under the project
SONATA-BIS 9 of the National Science Center
Computational Mathematics in Quantum Mechanics
(PI: dr hab. Karolina Kropielnicka, prof. IM PAN)

REQUIREMENTS

• A PhD in Mathematics must be obtained prior to the beginning of the contract. Moreover, it must be granted not earlier than 7 years before the beginning of the contract (extension of this period may be considered in the case of maternity or paternity leave).
• Candidates should have experience and/or strong research potential in computational mathematics, demonstrate good knowledge of mathematical analysis, differential equations and functional analysis.
• Moreover, they should have some programming experience in e.g. Python, Matlab or Julia and the ability to use Mathematica or Maple.

TASK DESCRIPTION

• Work on topics related to the grant research project. In particular, chosen employees may work on new computational methods for various dispersive equations, they may concern numerical approximation on unlimited domains (in space), on splitting methods, on highly oscillatory problems, on asymptotic expansions or on numerical analysis of differential equations of quantum mechanics.
• Checking and proving the convergence and stability of the derived approaches,
• Analysis of the behavior of invariants (after discretization) characteristic of the approximated equations.
• Implementing new methods, comparing to other existing ones
• Active participation in discussions, seminars, workshops, conferences and other thematic programs.
• Intensive cooperation with the PI.
• Additional information can be obtained from the PI (kkropielnicka@impan.pl)

THE CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

• Duration of employment: 24 months
• The exact date of employment will be agreed with the selected candidate
