Stochastics
(WIAS) is an institute of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. (FVB).
The FVB
comprises seven non-university research institutes in Berlin which
are funded
by the federal and state governments. The research institutes
belong to the
Leibniz Association.</p>

aspects with the
dynamics of gas transport, subject to uncertainty. The research
comprises
characterizing market equilibria in a game-theoretical context and
developing
efficient algorithms for their solution. In addition to analytical
considerations, an emphasis will be placed on the implementation
of the
developed algorithms.</p>

or a closely related field with a strong background in
optimization and partial
differential equations. Prior knowledge in stochastic
optimization, optimal
control, or stochastic analysis is beneficial.</p>
