Dear colleagues and friends of mathematical modeling,

we cordially invite you to the traditional Christmas party of mathematical modeling on Wednesday, December 20, 2023 in the auditorium K1 (Sokolovská 83) from 19:00. Here you can enjoy goulash, little snack or a mulled wine and sing Christmas carols. We would like to invite not only students, graduates
and teachers associated with this field, but also their partners, friends and all fans of mathematical modeling.

Do not forget your musical instruments!
Homemade Christmas cookies are welcome!

Please make a mandatory application (via form by December 7) so that we can ensure enough refreshments for everyone and not waste unnecessarily.

Milí kolegové a přátelé matematického modelování,

Můžete si zde pochutnat na guláši, drobném občerstvení nebo vínu a svařáku za doprovodu vánočních koled. Rádi bychom pozvali nejen studenty, absolventy a pedagogy spojené s tímto oborem, ale i jejich partnery/ky, přátele a všechny příznivce matematického modelování.

Nezapomeňte si svoje hudební nástroje!
Vánoční cukroví je vítáno!

Prosíme, dejte nám závazně vědět o Vaší účasti (prostřednictvím formuláře do 7.12.), ať můžeme zajistit dostatek občerstvení pro všechny a zbytečně neplýtváme.

Dear colleagues, Dear students,

University of Naples Frederico II opens a call for postdoc position funded by the FRA project “Regularity and Singularity in Analysis, PDEs, and Applied Sciences”. Please see project webpage for details.

Faculty of Mathematics and Physics has just announced another call in the grant programme “Studentské fakultní granty”, see the announcement at https://www.mff.cuni.cz/cs/studenti/bc-a-mgr-studium/studentske-fakultni-granty. We recall that the grants are aimed at bachelor and master students.

The University of Luxembourg (UL) invites applications for the position of a Doctoral Researcher (PhD candidate) in Computational Mechanics. The successful applicant is expected to perform original research in the area of advanced computational solid/structural mechanics with applications in civil and/or mechanical engineering and to contribute to associated teaching activities in the department’s bachelor and master programmes. You will be working in the research team led by Prof. Dr. Andreas Zilian (Department of Engineering / Computational Engineering and Sciences).

More details at: Doctoral Candidate in Computational Mechanics

Siemens Digital Industries Software is seeking an intern to join us for a year (2023-2024) to work within the Technology and Application group, focused on the Siemens flagship computational fluid dynamics (CFD) product Simcenter STAR-CCM+. The intern will be responsible for building, solving and reporting on the current capabilities for plasma simulations. For details, see https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3617684989/

Dear students,

European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry is organising the traditional Modelling Week. This year the Modelling week will take place in Szeged (Hungary). If you would like to participate in this event, please contact us (Vít Průša, prusv@karlin.mff.cuni.cz) and wecan help you to secure funding.

This year, a number of postdoctoral and PhD positions will be available in my research group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) on the outskirts of Vienna. The positions are funded by my ERC Starting Grant “Bridging Scales in Random Materials”.

The positions will be research-oriented positions without teaching load; for postdocs, a limited amount of teaching in the IST graduate school is possible, depending on the preferences of the postdoc. The initial appointments for postdocs will usually be for 2 years, with a possible extension to 3 years. PhD students must be admitted in the IST graduate school (see https://phd.pages.ist.ac.at/ ) and will receive contracts for 4 years.

Possible research directions include but are not limited to:
-Quantitative homogenization of random materials and nonlinear PDEs, in particular for models from fracture mechanics or curvature-driven PDEs,
-Numerical methods for stochastic homogenization, homogenization beyond separation of scales, and uncertainty quantification for random PDEs,
-Stability properties of interface evolution problems (such as multiphase mean curvature flow) beyond topological changes and phase-field approximations.

Candidates for the positions should have a strong background in one of the following areas:
-Analysis of PDEs or calculus of variations, for postdocs ideally in the context of mathematical models for materials or interface evolution equations,
-Probability theory, stochastic analysis, and/or SPDEs,
-High-dimensional numerical methods for PDEs.

Information about the institute IST Austria and my research group may be found at https://ist.ac.at and http://j-fischer.eu , respectively. For additional information on the positions or the institute, candidates may contact me directly by email ( julian.fischer@ist.ac.at ).

The starting date of the postdoctoral positions is flexible, with a preferred starting date between May 2023 and October 2023. Applications should be sent before — January 25, 2023 — to my email address julian.fischer@ist.ac.at .

Applications for the postdoctoral positions should consist of a research statement and a cv including a publication list; furthermore, candidates should arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to my email address julian.fischer@ist.ac.at .

Applicants for PhD positions must be admitted in the IST graduate school, with the next call deadline in — February 2023 — (see https://phd.pages.ist.ac.at/ ); however, applicants interested in the ERC-funded positions in my group should contact me in advance by email.

May I kindly ask you to share this email with potentially interested candidates. Apologies for any duplicate emails some of you might receive.

Best regards,
Julian Fischer
