<font size="2">The START-Project “Interfaces and Free Boundaries”
(directed by M.<br>
Hintermueller) hosted at the Karl Franzens University of Graz (Austria)<br>
invites applications for a<br>
<br>
PhD Position in Applied Mathematics.<br>
<br>
The focus of the research is either on PDE-constrained optimization or
shape and<br>
topology optimization.<br>
<br>
The START-project is based on a scientific award by the Austrian Federal<br>
Ministry of Science and Research and it is administered by the Austrian
Science Fund<br>
FWF. Besides applied mathematics, the START-Project also has a strong
component in<br>
computational science focusing on the numerical realization of
algorithms in various<br>
applications. For a more detailed description see the web page<br>
<a href="http://www.uni-graz.at/imawww/ifb/">http://www.uni-graz.at/imawww/ifb/</a>.
Also, the PhD student is invited to cooperate with<br>
the special research group on “Mathematical Optimization and
Applications in Biomedical<br>
Sciences”<br>
(<a href="http://math.uni-graz.at/mobis/">http://math.uni-graz.at/mobis/</a>).
The salary follows the rules of the FWF (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.fwf.ac.at">www.fwf.ac.at</a>).<br>

Please send your application by email to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:michael.hintermueller@uni-graz.at">michael.hintermueller@uni-graz.at</a>.<br>
Your email should contain a pdf-file as an attachment with the following<br>
information:<br>
<br>
* Curriculum Vitae (CV),<br>
* a short description of your qualifications and experience (studies,<br>
master's theses, conference visits,...),<br>
* a letter describing concisely your scientific interests,<br>
* names and email-addresses of at least two scientists willing to
provide<br>
references.<br>
