A 3-year research position is available within the group Numerical 
Methods for Partial Differential Equations at Technische Universitaet 
Chemnitz. The preferred starting date is February 2020, but a later 
start is also possible.

The successful candidate will work on a project in Nonsmooth Shape 
Optimization. A project description is available at 
https://tinyurl.com/yxxmoh7f. The project is part of a major initiative 
focusing on nonsmooth optimization, the DFG priority program 1962; see 
https://spp1962.wias-berlin.de/.

The position is suitable for a PhD student or a postdoc. A strong 
background in analysis is required, and knowledge of shape optimization, 
numerical PDEs, differential geometry, or image processing is a plus.

The base salary for the position is according to 75% within the TVL E13 
pay scale, which amounts to at least 34500 EUR p.a. before taxes.  A 
successful postdoctoral applicant will be offered an upgrade to a 100% 
position from other sources (at least 46000 EUR p.a. before taxes).

Inquiries and applications (including at least a cover letter, CV, and 
certificates of academic degrees, as a single PDF file) quoting the 
reference "SPP 1962: Nonsmooth shape optimization" should be directed to 
Roland Herzog at roland.herzog at math.tu-chemnitz.de before December 20, 2019.
