About Us
 

Our research and teaching address a wide range of directions in modern applied mathematics: Mathematical modelling, applied analysis, stochastic techniques and scientific computing provide the theoretical and practical background to understand, predict and optimise highly complex processes in engineering, life, social and natural sciences. Numerical simulation has become the key technology to address these core questions of the University’s scientific and strategic orientation.

Our research involves developing, analyzing and implementing new numerical techniques in both problem-specific and more fundamental settings, and we are equally interested in multidisciplinary applications and theoretical foundations, connecting engineering, natural and computer sciences. We are involved in various national and international collaborations.

  
 
Your Tasks
 

Within an international collaboration with the Matherials-team at CERMICS/Ecole des Ponts (France), we are looking for a Ph.D. candidate or post-doc reasearch associate to run a project on a cutting-edge and interdisciplinary topic on efficient numerical methods with applications in computational chemistry. The objective is to develop scalable localization schemes for molecular charge densities decomposition schemes based on the Hirshfeld/Iterative Stockholder Atom (ISA) framework.

 

Starting date is as soon as possible but up to negotiations. If you're interested, please submit a CV, motivation letter, transcript, and up to 3 email contacts for recommendation through the official submission process ("Apply now" button below).

At the University of Stuttgart, we actively promote diversity among our employees. We have set ourselves the goal of recruiting more female scientists and employing more people with an international background, as well as people with disabilities. We are therefore particularly pleased to receive applications from such people. Regardless, we welcome any good application. 

Women who apply will be given preferential consideration in areas in which they are underrepresented, provided they have the same aptitude, qualifications and professional performance. Severely disabled applicants with equal qualifications will be given priority.

As a certified family-friendly university, we support the compatibility of work and family, and of professional and private life in general, through various flexible modules. We have an employee health management system that has won several awards and offer our employees a wide range of continuing education programs. We are consistantly improving our accessibility. Our Welcome Center helps international scientists get started in Stuttgart. We support partners of new professors and managers with a dual-career program.
