Postdoc position
Department of Constructive Methods of Mathematical Analysis

Appointment period: 2 years
Appointment type: Full time
Position starting date: May 1, 2025, or upon an agreement
Deadline for applications: February 28, 2025
Gross salary: CZK 48 000 per month

We invite applications of young researchers working in the fields of numerical analysis to join our team. We are looking for a young researcher who has achieved convincing results in this area of research and who has completed his or her PhD degree in Mathematics within the last four years.

The successful applicant will perform research in the Department of Constructive Methods of Mathematical Analysis, which has a long tradition of excellent research in numerical analysis. The topics may include those already studied in the department such as domain decomposition methods, high-performance computing, numerical linear algebra, finite element methods, and error estimates. However, complementary topics in numerical analysis and HPC are also welcome. The position is not associated with a particular project and gives the successful candidate the option to carry on research in his/her own direction. No teaching is involved. We require verbal and written English communication skills and abilities to work both independently and collaboratively.

The selection committee will judge professional record of applicants, with respect to the stage of their career.

We offer affordable accommodation in the building of the Institute for the first 3-6 months. Questions and informal inquiries should be directed to the head of the department, Dr Jakub Šístek to his email address sistek@math.cas.cz.

The following documents are required:
• CV
• List of publications
• Motivation letter (may include a short research statement)
• Two letters of reference

Applications for the position must be submitted exclusively using the electronic submission system at
