Offer Description
The Department of Information Technology holds a leading position in both research and education at all levels. We are currently Uppsala University's third largest department, have around 350 employees, including 120 teachers and 120 PhD students. Approximately 5,000 undergraduate students take one or more courses at the department each year. You can find more information about us on the department of Information Technology website .
Project description
As a PhD student in this project you will be able to focus on multiscale problems with applications in quantum physics. We are interested in simulating Bose-Einstein condensates which are formed when a gas of Bosons is cooled to ultralow temperatures. Bose-Einstein condensates are of great interest when studying quantum effects such as superfluidity and the closely related phenomena of superconductivity.
Multiscale problems are encountered in many different applications. For instance, when physical behavior like heat diffusion is modeled in a composite material. Typical for these problems is the rapid variation in the material properties throughout the domain, which results in partial differential equations with rough and discontinuous coefficients. It is well known that classical finite element methods do not perform very well for this kind of problems. To overcome this issue there exist a range of different methods, one of them is Localized Orthogonal Decomposition. This method focuses on enhancing the classical finite elements by using data from the problem.
There is a possibility to influence your work depending on your interests. The work can focus on classical numerical analysis or be more programming oriented.
Duties
A PhD student is expected to devote their time to graduate education mainly. The rest of the duties may involve teaching at the Department, including also some administration, to at most 20%.
Requirements
To meet the entry requirements for doctoral studies, you must
- hold a Master’s (second-cycle) degree in scientific computing, applied mathematics, or equivalen, or
- have completed at least 240 credits in higher education, with at least 60 credits at Master’s level including an independent project worth at least 15 credits, or
- have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way.
The applicant should be able to both work independently and to collaborate with others in a group. Excellent knowledge in English, both spoken and written, is a requirement.
Additional qualifications
Good knowledge in mathematical analysis and the finite element method is an advantage. Advanced programming skills is also desirable.
Rules governing PhD students are set out in the Higher Education Ordinance chapter 5, §§ 1-7 and in Uppsala University's rules and guidelines .
About the employment
The employment is a temporary position according to the Higher Education Ordinance chapter 5 § 7. Scope of employment 100 %.Starting date 1 September 2024 or as agreed. Placement: Uppsala.
For further information about the position, please contact: Anna Persson, [email protected] .
Please submit your application by 19 April 2024, UFV-PA 2024/978 .
