Research topicThis interdisciplinary project is devoted to mathematical aspects and methods of modelling and simulation in fluid mechanics and in fluid-structure interaction. We intend to study the internal (geometric) structure of partial differential equations describing the behaviour of fluids in various contexts. We plan to use these results for constructing numerical methods appropriate for such systems - they are called geometric integrators and are generally shown to be more reliable and robust. This topic is rather wide and can be adjusted depending on the skills of the applicant.Applicant's profileWe search for a candidate either with background in differential geometry open to applications or a specialist in mechanics and numerical methods with a certain taste for conceptualization and abstract formalism.Practical detailsThe position starts in September 2025. It is for 2 years, renewable based on evaluation for one more year.The successful candidate will spend approximately half time in Jilin and half in La Rochelle, and will be supervised by Vladimir Salnikov (La Rochelle), with the participation of Jiwei Jia, Wang Chunpeng, Yongkui Zou, Ran Zhang or Yunhe Sheng (Jilin), depending on the precise research direction. The approximate gross salary starts at 240 000 yuan/year (~ 30 000 eur/year) and can go up to 480 000 yuan/year depending on the experience and publication record of the candidate. Application procedure and conditionsAt the moment of application the candidate should hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) and be at most 34 years old (condition of the Chinese government).The financial support comes from the international relations office, the candidate has to be a NON-Chinese citizen. (Chinese nationals are also welcome to apply, but please contact us to specify the conditions before). The application should be sent to vladimir.salnikov@univ-lr.fr with a subject line "Jilin-La Rochelle postdoc application". It should include: + an extended curriculum vitae of the candidate (employment history, publications, details on research activities, ...), + a motivation letter explaining the relevance of the skills and the interest to the position, + names and contact details of two references. Application deadlineThe position is open until filled. The applications received before 30/03/2025 will be considered with utmost attention. |
