Postdoctoral Associate

A Post-doctoral Associate position is available in mathematics to work on a project on Finite Element Methods led by Dr. Chunmei Wang in the Department of Mathematics.

The position requires an individual capable of working in computational mathematics, especially on numerical methods, finite element methods, and weak Galerkin finite element methods. The associate is expected to conduct research on computational mathematics in close collaboration with Dr. Wang and to interact with other members of the numerical analysis and computational mathematics group in the department. The department has an active seminar series in computational and applied mathematics, and provides a vibrant research environment. This position is 100% research and carries no teaching responsibilities.

Must have Ph.D. in mathematics, applied mathematics, computational mathematics, or a closely related area. This position will be initially awarded for one year, and, contingent upon strong performance and conduct and availability of funds, may be renewed for up to one additional year.

The Department of Mathematics particularly welcomes applicants who can contribute to a diverse and inclusive environment through their scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and professional service.
