The Numerical Analysis group within the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics at TU Delft is offering a full-time PhD position focused on efficient structure-preserving finite element methods for time-dependent PDEs . The project asks how numerical simulations can be designed so that they do not merely approximate physical laws, but preserve important mathematical and physical structure exactly. You will work on the construction of structure-preserving discretizations for time-dependent partial...

About this position

Postdoctoral research in mathematical relativity at Radboud University

This postdoc project sits in the Department of Mathematics at Radboud University and focuses on the mathematical aspects of gravity, with particular attention to the large-scale geometry and dynamics of spacetimes. The researcher will work on problems in mathematical relativity broadly understood, including Lorentzian geometry, geometric analysis, and partial differential equations arising in general relativity.

The project specifically addresses non-smooth spacetime geometries and spacetimes with singular boundaries. It is embedded in the Mathematical Relativity group within the Mathematical Physics section, alongside related expertise in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and gravity research in the wider institute. The group includes Dr Annegret Burtscher, Dr Sharmila Gunasekaran, and temporary staff, and is connected to seminars, colloquia, and broader national activities in mathematical relativity.

The successful candidate will join an international team at the interface of mathematics and physics, with a research environment that encourages participation in conferences, workshops, and seminars, and dissemination of results through peer-reviewed publications. The position offers no teaching obligations, although a light teaching load or supervision tasks can be arranged if desired.
