The Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) has the following vacancy PhD Student Reaction-diffusion systems multiple spatial scales(V 32.023) at CASA Department of Mathematics and Computer science
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science provides undergraduate and MSc programs in Mathematics and in Computer Science. The department has research collaborations with other departments at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven as well as with a large number of other universities and companies, both at home and abroad. The Department has approximately 350 employees and more than 700 students.
The Centre for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications (CASA) combines all activities related to analysis at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Its major research objective is to develop new and improve existing mathematical (both analytical and numerical) methods for a wide range of applications in science and engineering.
A particular interest is paid to the accurate modeling, analysis and simulation of reactive flows in porous media, including the upscaling from the pore scale to the macroscopic, core scale. This work is done in both national and international research groups. Detailed information can be found at: http://www.win. tue.nl/casa/
Tasks
Project description:
At this PhD position you will work on the analysis, modeling and simulation of "Reaction-diffusion systems on multiple spatial scales". Typical examples of such problems are the distributed- microstructure models obtained by periodic homogenization from an exact micro-model. An important feature of this class of problems is that the homogenized system recognizes the distributed- concentration exchange across the internal fixed and/or moving boundaries. The "distributed- microstructure" methodology will be applied to a dissolution/ precipitation/ flow scenario arising in the transport of salts in unsaturated porous media.
As a PhD Student Reaction-diffusion systems multiple spatial scales you will forfill the following task:
perform scientific research;
present results on international conferences;
publish results in scientific journals
Requirements
We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:
* a M.Sc. in Mathematics,
* strong affinity with partial-differentia l equations,
* good communication and writing skills in English.
Prior knowledge of homogenization and modeling of reaction-diffusion scenarios is an advantage but not a must.
Appointment and Salary
We offer:
·A challenging job in a dynamic and ambitious university.
·A full-time employment for 4 years (starting September 2008), with an intermediate evaluation after 1 year.
·A salary of Euro 2,000 per month (gross) in the first year, increasing to Euro 2,558 per month (gross) in the fourth year. Moreover 8% holiday allowance is provided annually.
·Assistance in finding accommodation can be given.
·Support with your personal development and career planning.
·Attractive secondary labour conditions (including excellent work facilities, child care, excellent sports facilities).
