Job/ project description
This position is connected with a research project: Stochastic Conservation Laws ("STOCOLA"), funded by the Research Council of Norway. An overall goal of the project is to develop concepts and techniques for the analysis of random phenomena modeled by nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations with solutions possessing low regularity (mixed hyperbolic-parabolic equations with shock waves). This will be carried out through a combination of mathematical and numerical analysis. It will involve several branches of mathematics, including partial differential equations, functional analysis, and stochastic analysis. The fellow will perform research within one or more of the work packages of STOCOLA's research plan. For more information about the project see here.
Requirements/qualifications
