The successful candidate should represent applied mathematics in research and teaching via a research area that is compatible with the research directions already represented at the institute. The candidate should have an international reputation for excellent research. The research area shall cover modern methods for partial differential equations and preferably lie within one of the following mathematical fields: mathematical image processing, inverse problems, continuous optimization/calculus of variations. The successful candidate can exhibit scientific, application-motivated contributions in the area of analysis as well as their numerical implementation. The ability to contribute to the mathematical research in the special research area "Mathematical Optimization and Applications in the Biomedical Sciences" is expected. In addition, a reasonable participation in the teaching duties of the institute is expected. The university expects competence in the area of gender mainstreaming.

Feckan: Bifurcation and Chaos in Discontinuous and Continuous Systems, Springer+HEP, 2011 http://www.springer.com/physics/theoretical,+mathematical+%26+computational+physics/book/978-3-642-18268-6 Short synopsis: "Bifurcation and Chaos in Discontinuous and Continuous Systems" provides rigorous mathematical functional-analytical tools for handling chaotic bifurcations along with precise and complete proofs together with concrete applications presented by many stimulating and illustrating examples. A broad variety of nonlinear problems are studied involving difference equations, ordinary and partial differential equations, differential equations with impulses, piecewise smooth differential equations, differential and difference inclusions, and differential equations on infinite lattices as well. This book is intended for mathematicians, physicists, theoretically inclined engineers and postgraduate students either studying oscillations of nonlinear mechanical systems or investigating vibrations of strings and beams, and electrical circuits by applying the modern theory of bifurcation methods in dynamical systems.
