The project is on theoretical foundations of adaptive FEM (finite element methods) for nonlinear PDEs, and will include a study of a posteriori error estimation, nonlinear functional analysis, and optimal approximation theory. Student profile: 1st class degree in Mathematics or other relevant subject, exceptional writing skills, and strong interest in computer-code development. A candidate with a solid background in the mathematical and numerical analysis of PDEs will have an advantage. The studentship covers UK/EU tuition fees. It is due to commence in October 2014, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position will remain open until filled. For more information about the project and on how to apply, see: http://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=54535 Informal enquiries are welcome at kg.vanderzee@nottingham.ac.uk .
