Doctoral candidate in Applied Mathematics/Approximation Theory in Ingolstadt bei MathHire org

The Chair of Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Geography at the KU EichstättIngolstadt invites applications for a part-time position (75%) as Doctoral candidate in Applied Mathematics/Approximation Theory to be filled from the earliest possible starting date with an initial contract duration of 3 years (with the possibility for extension). The place of work will be Ingolstadt. The successful candidate will be employed in a private-law employment relationship, in which case remuneration will be according to pay grade E 13 TV-L provided that the requirements are met. The Chair of Applied Mathematics (headed by Prof. Marcel Oliver) is part of the Mathematical Institute for Machine Learning and Data Science (MIDS) at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. The research group works on topics at the intersection of Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation. The vacant position is partially funded via the German Research Foundation (DFG) project “Kernel interpolation on Riemannian manifolds” led by Dr. Janin Jäger, which focuses on the mathematical analysis of approximation methods with a particular focus on kernel-based methods, their interpolation properties and error analysis when used for approximation on spheres and other Riemannian manifolds.
