W1 junior professorship in computational methods for uncertainty quantification, Stuttgart (Germany)

At the Stuttgart Research Centre of Simulation Technology, the following junior-professorial position is offered: Junior Professorship (W1) on Computational Methods for Uncertainty Quantification at the Institute of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems (Faculty 2: Civil and Environmental Engineering) or at the Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation (Faculty 8: Mathematics and Physics)

The Junior Professor strengthens the field stochastic modelling and quantification of uncertain problems in continuum mechanics. The position is located at the interface between applied mathematics and engineering sciences. Prospective research fields in mathematics are all related aspects of probability theory and model-based numerical simulation. In engineering it is expected that the professor satisfies the demands of one or more relevant applications. This includes in particular fluid flow and dynamical processes in porous media.

Applications with the usual documents should be sent to arrive not later than 31 March 2013. For more information, see http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/jobs/angebote/job951.html
