Post Doc / PhD PositionInstitute for Mathematics and Scientific Computing University of Graz, Austria

Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoctoral Research Position/PhDPosition funded by the FWF Austrian Science Fund at the Institute forMathematics and Scientific Computing of the University of Graz, Austria.The project will last three years.

The goal of this project is to theoretically investigate quantum controlapplications in semiconductor nanostructures. The expected impact of theproject is in the field of simulation and optimization of quantum control inquantum systems.

The work will involve (a) development of fast and efficient computeralgorithms suited for quantum optimal control applications of open quantumsystems, and (b) simulation of quantum optimal control problems innanostructures. The work will cover both aspects of numerical mathematics andof theoretical physics, and will be carried out in a joint interdisciplinarycollaboration between mathematics and physics.

Applicants must hold a PhD (for PostDoc position), and should be experiencedin numerical analysis, ideally optimal control theory and/or inverse problems,and possess some background in physics. They should be competent programmers,and willing to collaborate in this interdisciplinary project.

Applicants should send (to the addresses given below) a curriculum vitae,bibliography of published work, a one or two-page statement of researchinterests, and a letter of recommendation.
