The CRC has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015. Its goal is to
analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under
realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.

The proposed doctoral project focuses on the stability and long-term dynamics of nonlinear waves
with the goal to handle couplings between dispersive and dissipative systems.
The positions are tenured to 3 years  and the starting date is as soon as possible.

We seek ambitious doctoral researchers with an interest in analysis and partial differential equations.
Within the project, you will learn about the stability theory of nonlinear waves. You will have the
opportunity to attend courses, conferences, workshops, and summer schools. Engagement in
teaching is encouraged.

We provide an inspiring, attractive, interdisciplinary, and internationally recognized scientific
environment with access to excellent facilities of the KIT, a wide scope of advanced training options
within our integrated research training group, and flexible working time models. Our CRC aims at the
implementation of equal opportunities, it promotes diversity and supports persons with childcare or
eldercare responsibilities as well as persons with disabilities. Funds for travel and guests are available
through the CRC.

The following qualifications are required:
• Excellent Master or an equivalent degree in Mathematics.
• Strong background in analysis and partial differential equations.
• We expect good writing and oral communication skills in English along with the ability to work
independently within an international team.
• Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interest,
contact information for two referees, and copies of degree certificate(s).

We offer an attractive and modern workplace with access to excellent facilities of KIT, diverse and
responsible tasks, a wide scope of advanced training options, supplementary pension with the VBL
(Pension Authority for Employees in the Public Service Sector), flexible working time models, a job
ticket (BW) allowance, and a cafeteria/canteen.

We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore, we kindly ask female applicants to
apply for this job. If qualified, severely disabled persons will be preferred.

Please apply electronically via office@waves.kit.edu until January 31st, 2022. For further information
about the project, please contact Dr. Björn de Rijk, bjoern.de-rijk@kit.edu, or Ms. Laurette Lauffer,
laurette.lauffer@kit.edu.
