Ph.D. position on “Hamiltonian-based numerical methods for forced-dissipative climate prediction”

Research Project
Drs. Onno Bokhove (Applied Mathematics, University of Twente) and Jason Frank (Center for Mathematics and Computer Science, Amsterdam) are looking for an excellent Ph.D. candidate for research on “Hamiltonian-based numerical methods for forced-dissipative climate prediction”. The Ph.D. position will be held in the Numerical Analysis and Computational Mechanics (NACM) group of the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, and involves a very strong collaboration with the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam. In addition to the collaboration with Dr. Frank at the CWI, collaborative research visits are planned to Professor Sebastian Reich at the University of Potsdam.

See the scientific executive summary “Hamiltonian-based numerical methods for forced-dissipative climate prediction” and the popular summary in Dutch.

A masters thesis in (applied) mathematics, physics, mechanical or chemical engineering is required with proven expertise in numerical analysis, fluid dynamics and programming.

Offer
An interesting four-year research position including strong international collaborations.
