[Opt-Net] Research Assistant Position (f/m/d) in Optimization (Ref. 22/40) at WIAS, Berlin, Germany

[Heike Sill]

WIAS invites applications for a

Research Assistant Position (f/m/d)

(Ref. 22/40)

in the Research Group

”Nonsmooth Variational Problems and Operator Equations”

(Head: Prof. Dr. M. Hintermüller) to be filled at the earliest possible 
date.

Field of work: Optimization with partial differential equations and 
variational inequalities. The holder of the position is qualified in a 
modern field of optimization with partial differential equations. Of 
particular interest are non-smooth coupled systems and data-driven (e.g. 
machine learning) approaches to modeling and optimization, variational 
problems in mathematical image processing or nonlinear inverse problems. 
In addition to analytical considerations, the development and 
implementation of numerical solution methods are of central importance.

Wanted: A motivated, outstanding researcher with a very good degree and 
excellent doctorate in mathematics as well as previous experience in the 
fields mentioned above with the willingness to take on responsibility 
for interdisciplinary projects. Further experience within the framework 
of independent research in a postdoctoral phase is desired as well as 
very good knowledge in one or more of the areas

- Optimal control with partial differential equations,

- (Quasi-)Variational inequalities and their optimal control,

- Non-smooth variational problems with applications in image processing

including experience in the computer-aided realization of the associated 
numerical solution methods. This position is associated with the 
production of publications in international peer-reviewed journals, 
presentation of the results at international conferences and co-support 
of students working at WIAS in this field as bachelors, masters or 
doctoral students.

What we offer:

 1. Close mentorship: the postdoc candidate will receive responsible and
    careful mentorship. We emphasize fostering a healthy mentor-mentee
    relationship.
 2. WIAS Berlin is a premier research institution known for its strength
    in optimization, optimal control, dynamical systems, and applied
    mathematics in general. It has hosted flagship conferences in
    mathematical optimization such as ICCOPT 2019.
 3. A certified (Audit berufundfamilie) family-friendly work environment.
 4. Berlin is one of the most culture-rich and diverse international
    cities in the world. It offers endless opportunities to enjoy life
    outside work, while being very affordable compared to other major
    cities. Neither the job nor living in Berlin requires German
    language (although WIAS offers free German courses). We highly
    welcome international applications. Scientifically, Berlin offers a
    rich landscape with numerous opportunities for research, as well as
    job prospects in academia and industry.

Technical queries should be directed to Prof. Dr. Michael Hintermüller 
(Michael.Hintermueller at wias-berlin.de 
<mailto:Michael.Hintermueller at wias-berlin.de>). The position is 
remunerated according to TVöD Bund and is initially limited to two 
years, while a long-term perspective is envisioned.

The Weierstraß Institute is an equal opportunity employer. We explicitly 
encourage female researchers to apply for the offered position. Among 
equally qualified applicants, disabled candidates will be given preference.

How to apply:

Please upload your complete application documents (motivation letter, 
detailed CV, certificates, list of MSc courses and grades, copy of the 
master thesis, reference letters, etc.) via our applicant portal
