As a central non‑university institution for science and research, the Austrian Academy of Sciences – OeAW has the task of “promoting science in every respect”. Founded in 1847 as a learned society, it now has over 760 members and around 1,800 employees dedicated to innovative basic research, interdisciplinary knowledge exchange and the dissemination of new insights. The OeAW initiates and maintains partnerships worldwide and represents Austria in international scientific organizations; it cooperates with numerous institutions in the scientific field in order to actively shape the research landscape.
Postdoc (f/m/x) in Computational Methods for PDEs Group Job ID: RICAM078PD126
The Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), Austria’s leading non‑university research and science institution, is offering a position for a Postdoc in the research group “Computational Methods for Partial Differential Equations”. The position is for a period of three years and is to be filled at the earliest possible date.
Your Tasks The full‑time position is affiliated with the research group “Computational Methods for Partial Differential Equations” (led by Prof. Herbert Egger) at RICAM, located in Linz, Austria. The successful candidate should contribute to the group’s research in computational mathematics, numerical methods, and scientific computing for engineering and physics applications. Key areas include finite element methods, discrete differential geometry, shell structures, nonlinear elasticity, geometric modelling, metamaterials, and reliable numerical simulations. Successful candidates are expected to have a strong track record in mathematical analysis, computational mechanics, and simulation techniques to develop robust methods for complex physical systems. Close cooperation is anticipated with the projects of the collaborative research centre SFB F90. For further information please contact Prof. Herbert Egger at
herbert.egger@ricam.oeaw.ac.at .
Your Profile
PhD in applied mathematics or a related field.
Strong background in the numerical solution of nonlinear systems arising in continuum mechanics, electromagnetics, and related applications in physics and engineering.
Expertise in the development and analysis of finite element methods, differential geometry, error estimation, numerical methods for nonlinear systems, and optimisation algorithms.
English skills are required.
Our Offer
Excellent opportunities to work in a lively research environment and collaborate with international experts in the fields related to the project.
An annual gross salary of
Euro 70,167.44
according to the salary scheme of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
