Full Job Posting
Description
- A Postdoctoral position in Mathematics is available for a research project in Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar.
- The research focuses on vector valued free boundary problems, systems of variational inequalities, and interconnected partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in mathematical models with multiple interacting components.
- These problems appear naturally in areas such as optimal switching, mean field game theory, multi phase systems, and multi membrane problems.
- The appointment is for 1 year and is renewable for up to 3 years based on performance and continued funding, located in Doha, Qatar, with a preferred starting date of September 2026 or later.
Research Areas
- The project will be under the supervision of Dr. Layan El Hajj and will be conducted in collaboration with leading international researchers in the field.
- The successful candidate will contribute to the development of a comprehensive mathematical framework for vector valued free boundary problems and interconnected systems of variational inequalities.
- The project aims to advance the mathematical theory of vector valued free boundary problems by investigating the existence, regularity, stability, uniqueness, and geometric properties of solutions and their associated free boundaries.
- Emphasis will be placed on weakly and strongly coupled systems of variational and non variational PDEs, including settings where solutions may fail to be continuous.
Qualifications
- PhD in Mathematics or a closely related field.
- Strong background in Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), Free boundary problems, Calculus of Variations, Geometric Analysis, or related areas.
- Demonstrated research potential through publications or preprints in relevant fields.
- Ability to conduct independent research and collaborate effectively within an international research team.
- Experience with free boundary problems, variational inequalities, obstacle problems, or nonlinear PDEs is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with numerical methods for PDEs, scientific computing, or computational aspects of free boundary problems is an advantage.
- Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
Application Instructions
- Interested candidates should submit their applications electronically at the Interfolio link containing: Curriculum Vitae (CV), Publication list, Research statement (max 2 pages), Contact information for at least three references, and Two recommendation letters directly submitted by reviewers throug
- Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
- The position offers a competitive salary, housing allowances and other benefit packages.
