[Opt-Net] PhD/PostDoc position at TU Vienna for FWF-Project "Regularity, stability, and computation of equilibria"

[TU-Wien_ORCOS]

*******************************************************************
The Research Unit Operations Research and Control Systems (ORCOS),
Institute for Mathematical Methods in Economics (IWM)
at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien)

is looking for candidates for one or two PhD  or postdoctoral positions
which will be funded by a project entitled
"Regularity, stability, and computation of equilibria."
********************************************************************

The PhD candidates must have a master degree in mathematics (preferably 
in mathematical analysis, optimization, numerical mathematics, 
differential equations)  and those for postdoc position should have PhD 
in mathematics or mathematical sciences.

The work will include analysis and development of numerical methods for 
variational inequalities, with emphasis on problems that arise in 
optimal control and differential games, and in mathematical economics, 
in particular. Knowledge of variational analysis and optimization will 
be needed at certain point as well as some experience in computer 
implementation of algorithms.

Remuneration is based on the salary scale of the Austrian Science Fund 
(FWF; see http://www.fwf.ac.at/de/projects/personalkostensaetze.html). 
The approximate annual gross salary for a Ph.D. student is EUR 27,900 
(for 30 Hours/week), and EUR 48,700 (40 Hours/week) for a postdoc.

The position is offered for a maximum duration of 36 months. Work should 
commence in July-September, 2014. An extension of the contract for 
preparation and defense of a Ph.D. may be possible.

The Vienna University of Technology is an Equal Opportunity Employer and 
seeks to increase the number of its female staff members. Therefore 
qualified women are strongly encouraged to apply. In case of equal 
qualification, female candidates will be given preference.
