The Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) is an institute of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. (FVB). The FVB comprises eight non-university research institutes in Berlin which are funded by the federal and state governments. The research institutes are members of the Leibniz Association.
WIAS invites applications for a

Topic of research are numerical methods for applications from process
engineering. These applications are modelled with large systems of
differential-algebraic equations. Problems concerning the optimization and the
quantification of uncertainties are also of interest. Applicants should be
familiar with numerical methods for partial differential equations or
optimization or stochastics, in particular with their implementation. They
should be willing to participate in a long-standing industrial cooperation with
a leading international company. A degree in Mathematics, Physics, Computer
Science, Engineering or a related field is mandatory. A good command of the
English language is expected.
