Do you have PhD in mathematics and are you ready for a new challenge? As a postdoc, you can work on the modeling and numerical simulation of Marangoni flows with state-of-the-art tools in an exciting interdisciplinary project. Join a friendly and welcoming international atmosphere where you will have many opportunities for continuous development. 
The Applied Mathematics group at Radboud University has an opening for a short-term Postdoctoral Researcher. In an exciting interdisciplinary project, you will work on the modelling and numerical simulation of Marangoni flows. We aim to develop and simulate a mathematical model for self-organising chemical networks resulting from the formation of flow patterns between sender and receiver droplets. To this end, we will utilise state-of-the-art tools from the theory and approximation of nonlinear partial differential equations. You will be co-supervised by Dr Vanja Nikolić and Dr Laura Scarabosio from the Department of Mathematics, and work together with Dr Peter Korevaar from the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM).

• You hold or are about to complete a PhD degree in Applied Mathematics or a closely related field.
• You have a strong background in PDE-based mathematical modelling and simulation.
• You have an interest in interdisciplinary work.
• You have excellent writing and communication skills.

Fixed-term contract: It concerns an employment for 0.6 (12 months contract) - 1.0 FTE (7 months contract).

• It concerns an employment for 0.6 (12 months contract) - 1.0 FTE (7 months contract).
• The gross monthly salary amounts to a minimum of €2,960 and a maximum of €4,670 based on a 38-hour working week, depending on previous education and number of years of relevant work experience (salary scale 10).
• You will receive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus.
• You will be able to use our Dual Career and Family Care Services. Our Dual Career and Family Care Officer can assist you with family-related support, help your partner or spouse prepare for the local labour market, provide customized support in their search for employment and help your family settle in Nijmegen.
• Working for us means getting extra days off. In case of full-time employment, you can choose between 29 or 41 days of annual leave instead of the legally allotted 20.

Work and science require good employment practices. This is reflected in Radboud University's primary and secondary employment conditions. You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself, for example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports subscription. And of course, we offer a good pension plan. You are given plenty of room and responsibility to develop your talents and realise your ambitions. Therefore, we provide various training and development schemes.

The Applied Mathematics group at Radboud University has a friendly and welcoming international atmosphere. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will have many opportunities for continuous development, and you will be supported in subsequent job applications. The Department of Mathematics is part of the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics of the Faculty of Science.
