Information about the department and the division

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg has about 200 employees, and is the largest department of mathematics in Sweden. The department has three scientific divisions: Algebra and Geometry, Analysis and Probability Theory, and Applied Mathematics and Statistics and conducts successful research in pure and applied mathematics and mathematical statistics in a wide range of research areas. We have an international environment with frequent exchanges with other universities around the world. The department provides a friendly, creative, and supportive atmosphere with a steady flow of international guests. There are many committed teachers with extensive and broad experience of all aspects of higher education. More information about us can be found on our website: http://www.chalmers.se/math

At the division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics we conduct research within the theory and implementation of finite element methods, stochastic partial differential equations, geometric numerical integration, fluid dynamics, inverse wave propagation problems, optimization, biostatistics, spatial modeling, Bayesian inference, high-dimensional data, large-scale computational methods, and bioinformatics. The division is also expanding in the area of data science and machine learning.

Our department continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all our activities. We work actively to be a parent-friendly organization.

Project description

We will recruit one postdoc in mathematics to work with Annika Lang on a project on time-evolving stochastic manifolds funded by the European Research Council (ERC Consolidator Grant). For more details, see http://www.math.chalmers.se/~langa/

The project includes components of stochastic analysis, geometry, partial differential equations (PDE), and computational mathematics. Experience in any of these fields is meritorious.

Major responsibilities

You will be employed for three years at the Department of Mathematical Sciences. You are expected to develop your own ideas and communicate scientific results orally as well as in written form. As a postdoc, you are expected to work independently and to be able to supervise/co-supervise Master's and PhD students. The teaching of undergraduate students may also be included to a small extent.

Qualifications

Applicants must have a strong background in mathematics. You must have obtained a PhD degree in mathematics, applied mathematics or a related topic, or expect to complete such a degree by September 1, 2023.

Experience in some of the following areas is meritorious: stochastic analysis, numerical analysis, differential geometry, computational methods for stochastic (partial) differential equations, random fields, programming, mathematical statistics.

Good presentation and communication skills in oral and written English are required.

You should include all relevant work in your application such as articles and your PhD thesis (provide an English summary if necessary) that you have authored or co-authored.

Contract terms

This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for three years.
