Open Position: Research Assistant (Doctoral Student) in Optimization and Scientific Computing Using Lattice Boltzmann Methods

At the Institute of Applied and Numerical Mathematics (IANM) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) we are looking for a

Research Assistant (f/m/d)

for our team Lattice Boltzmann Research Group (LBRG, http://www.lbrg.kit.edu). The position is part of an exciting research project focused on advanced numerical modelling and simulation with focus on sensitivity analysis and optimization for fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM). After familiarisation, remuneration is paid according to TV-L, E 13. This role provides the opportunity to pursue a doctorate (PhD degree).

Your Responsibilities:
• Development and implementation of efficient and scalable LBM algorithms for complex multi-physics problems, specifically in OpenLB (www.openlb.net)
• Development and application of adjoint-based and data-driven optimization methods
• High-performance computing (HPC) on modern GPU-accelerated architectures
• Scientific collaboration with internal and external partners
• Participation in teaching and supervision of students
• Presentation of results at international conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals

Your Profile:
• Master’s degree (or equivalent) in applied mathematics, scientific computing, or a related field
• Strong background in optimization, numerical methods and scientific computing
• Experience in fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, or LBM is highly advantageous
• Programming skills in C/C++ or similar
• Experience with parallel computing is a plus
• Curiosity, creativity, and a collaborative mindset
• Very good written and spoken English skills; basic German skills

We Offer:
• An inspiring research environment in a dynamic and interdisciplinary research group at one of Europe’s leading technical universities
• Structured doctoral support and career development
• A vibrant campus life in the heart of Karlsruhe

Application:
Please send your application including a cover letter, CV, transcripts, and contact details of at least one reference as a single PDF file to:
