Within the DFG-funded project Time-Space Multiscale Separation of Ocean Tide Generated Magnetic Signals, a PhD Position (Mathematics) is offered at the Computational Science Center, University of Vienna.
The project focuses on the development and application of mathematical tools (e.g., the construction of localized basis functions for the induction equation) for the extraction of the Earth’s magnetic field signal that is produced by (tidal) ocean currents and related inverse problems. It is part of DFG’s priority program “Study of Earth system dynamics with a constellation of potential field missions (DynamicEarth)” and a collaboration with the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam is planned for the geophysical application.
The position is limited to 3 years and payment is according to the collective bargaining agreement for Austrian university employees (level B1, 75%, 30h/week).
Required Qualifications
Candidates have a MSc degree (or equivalent) in Mathematics, Computer Science, or a closely related field and have a strong interest in interdisciplinary mathematics and geosciences. They are open minded, active, and have a good command of the English and/or German language.
Location: Vienna, Austria
Application deadline: August 31, 2015
