Descripción
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Physics-Adapted Numerical Methods The Department of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, has a vacancy for a postdoctoral research fellow in numerical mathematics for a period of 3 years. About the postdoctoral project: The postdoctoral position is part of the project “Physics-Adapted Numerical Methods for Two-Phase Flow” (PANum) funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project is a joint collaboration between Western Norway University of Applied Sciences and Hasselt University in Belgium. In PANum the goal is to formulate and implement mathematical methods that are not only robust, efficient and have a low numerical error, but that also guarantee that important physical properties are fulfilled in the numerical solution. Ultimately, PANum will lead to a computational algorithm that reliably simulates two-phase flow. The postdoctoral project will be part of developing and analyzing relevant numerical methods and implement them in an open-source framework that will be made openly available for others to use. This will be relevant for example for CO2 storage and design of fuel cells. Research environment: The PANum project is situated in the Engineering Computing research group at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, and in the computational mathematics group (CMAT) at Hasselt University. Both groups focus strongly on numerical analysis and mathematical modelling. The prospective postdoctoral researcher will work in close collaboration with Carina Bringedal and Erlend Storvik from Engineering Computing, Jochen Schütz from CMAT, as well as the current PhD and master students connected to the PANum project. Postdoctoral research fellows receive an annual work expense funding which can be used for conference participation, research visits, and equipment. The place of employment is campus Bergen or campus Førde. Qualifications: Criteria for appoin
