The Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin invites applications for a

starting April 1st, 2024.

The objective of the professorship is to strengthen the Berlin Excellence Cluster MATH+ in the field of Numerical Analysis, with a particular focus on simulation and optimization of PDE-based problems involving uncertainties or stochastic components. We are looking for an internationally recognized individual who is a leader in the field of Numerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations driving the development, analysis, and implementation of efficient discretization and solution methods. In addition, expertise in continuous optimization, stochastics or applied analysis is desired, as well as high potential for innovation to develop and establish new areas of research.

The Berlin Cluster of Excellence MATH+ is a dynamic interdisciplinary research center that focuses on application-driven mathematical research relevant to our society. Its three main goals are to train highly skilled young mathematicians across the entire breadth of mathematics, to develop innovative application-oriented mathematics with a focus on data-driven modelling, simulation, and optimization, and to open new mathematical thinking spaces. MATH+ is supported by Berlin mathematics in cooperation with other scientific disciplines. Moreover, MATH+ strives to communicate its findings actively to the general public. The successful candidate fits the scope of the Berlin Cluster of Excellence MATH+ and complements the scientific profile of the Institute of Mathematics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, while exhibiting a large cooperation potential within Berlin mathematics and neighboring disciplines.

The applicants must meet the legal requirements for professorial appointments in accordance with § 100 of "Berliner Hochschulgesetz".

HU is seeking to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching, and specifically encourages qualified female scholars to apply. Researchers from abroad are welcome to apply.
