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 Project A11 “Electromagnetic fields interacting with Quantum matter” deals with quantum systems possibly in the presence of external classical or quantized electromagnetic fields. Examples of such systems are atoms or molecules, polarons, graphene. More details can be found in www.waves.kit.edu/A11.php

• Doctoral degree in Mathematics or Physics.
• Strong background in functional analysis, mathematical quantum mechanics and operator theory.
• We expect good writing and oral communication skills in English along with the ability to work independently within an international team.
