As part of the Institute of Mathematics at TU Hamburg, the Chair Computational Mathematics specializes in developing, implementing, and analyzing efficient numerical algorithms for differential equations. Our work spans a diverse application spectrum - from geophysical fluid dynamics to chemical process engineering - with a strong focus on numerical algorithms suitable for high-performance computing systems and scientific machine learning, combining merging machine learning with traditional numerics.

We are seeking a researcher to advance our work in parallel-in-time integration algorithms and drive forward their deployment on state-of-the-art parallel computers and GPUs. In this role, you will build upon our established theoretical and practical foundation in parallel spectral deferred corrections. Your ultimate goal will be to pioneer conclusive demonstrations of speedup for practically relevant applications on extreme-scale HPC systems like JUPITER at Jülich Supercomputing Centre.

YOUR TASKS

To develop, test and analyse new numerical algorithms for differential equations
To present your results at scientific conferences
To publish your results in the form of peer-reviewed scientific publications
To teach exercise groups for students in engineering programs (approximately 4 contact hours per week during teaching time)

YOUR PROFILE

Requirements

Completed scientific university studies (masters degree or equivalent), in particular in the subject Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics or Computational Science

Desired knowledge and personal skills

Excellent knowledge of numerical mathematics, ideally with a focus on numerical methods for differential equations
Experience with programming in a language like Python, Matlab, Julia, C/C++, Fortran
Experience with running and benchmarking code on high-performance computing systems
Fluent in spoken and written English
Experience in other relevant areas like scientific machine learning or inverse problems etc is considered a plus

OUR OFFER

A job in an interesting, friendly and appreciative working environment
Flexible and family-friendly working conditions
Possibility of mobile working
Internal offers for health promotion and special conditions in gyms
