Postdoc in Post-processing techniques for discontinuous Galerkin methods on unstructured meshes
A postdoctoral position under the direction of Professor Bernardo Cockburn is available at the University of Minnesota to participate in the development and analysis post-processing techniques of discontinuous Galerkin methods for convection-dominated flows. This position is supported by the ACCESS grant and involves collaboration with the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Minnesota.
We seek a candidate interested in post-processing techniques for discontinuous Galerkin methods. Experience with the implementation and/or analysis of DG and HDG methods is a must. Familiarity with the convolution technique for accuracy enhancing of finite element methods is highly regarded. Some knowledge of negative-order norms for the analysis of the resulting post-processing is most welcome but not necessary.
Applications for this one-year position will be reviewed starting January 15, 2025 and will continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit an AMS cover sheet, complete curriculum vitae, a description of their research background and interest in this project, and one letter of recommendation to http://www.mathjobs.org under the banner Post-processing of DG methods on unstructured meshes.
