Overview
We offer a PhD position in Applied Mathematics dealing with "Colloid-enhanced flow of contaminants in porous media" which will be hosted by the Chair for Applied Mathematics 1, Department of Mathematics, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, (first 2 years) and by CASA – Center for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, (last year). The position is funded by the Initial Training Network FIRST ("Fronts and Interfaces in Science and Technology") of the EU.
Program description
Colloidal particles play an important role in technological and biological processes.
A main issue which influences the colloidal dynamics within a porous medium, e.g., the soil, is the process of flocculation. Its accurate description in the context of advection-diffusion-reaction equations is not only of great impact since the microstructure of the porous medium depends on the attachment of flocculated particle clusters but also because contaminant transport is dictated by colloidal particles.
In the project a mathematical model should be set up rigorously which describes the above mentioned phenomena. We expect multiscale problems to emerge possibly connecting continuum and discrete scales. Special attention should also be paid to the numerical realization within the framework of an existing software.
Research Field
Mathematics - Applied mathematics
Benefits
Salary and mobility allowance are at the standard rate for Early Stage Researchers in ITN networks of the EU. This means a living allowance of ca. 34.500 € per year and a mobility allowance of 500 € (or 800 € under family obligations) per month. In addition, there is an annual personal travel allowance dependent on the distance from the country of origin, and ESRs employed for at least 12 months are entitled to a single 2000 Euro Career Exploratory Allowance payment. Substantial funding is provided for participation in conferences and other research and training activities.

Additional Requirements
As a PhD Student, you are expected to:
- perform scientific research;
- present results on international conferences;
- publish results in scientific journals
We are looking for a candidate who has a strong affinity for at least one of the following fields:
- analysis of PDEs
- numerics of PDEs
- mathematical modelling
