The Collaborative Research Center “Wave phenomena – analysis and numerics” (CRC 1173) has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015. Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.

The proposed doctoral project concerns the mathematical analysis of dispersive phenomena in fluid flows related to the propagation of nonlinear waves and their properties.

We seek ambitious doctoral researchers with an interest in analysis and PDEs. Within the project, you will learn and combine techniques from mathematical fluid mechanics and nonlinear dispersive PDEs. You will become part of the established research group “Nonlinear PDES” at the Institute of Analysis and you will have the opportunity to attend courses, conferences, workshops, and summer schools. Engagement in teaching is encouraged.

Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interest, contact
information for two referees, and copies of degree certificate(s) in one PDF.

• Excellent Master’s or an equivalent degree in Mathematics.
• Strong background in analysis and partial differential equations.
• We expect good writing and oral communication skills in English, along with the ability to work independently within an international team.
