PHD AND POSTDOC POSITIONS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF BASEL, SWITZERLAND — Workgroup of Gianluca Crippa

I am looking for candidates for PhD or Post-Doc positions under my
supervision in the newly established Analysis Group at the Department
of Mathematics of the University of Basel (Switzerland).

The main lines of research I am interested in developing are the following ones:
— Partial Differential Equations, mostly of hyperbolic type (with
emphasis on transport and continuity equations and on conservation
laws)
— Geometric measure theory
— Fluid dynamics
— Calculus of Variations
Further details on my research interests can be found on my present
webpages: http://cvgmt.sns.it/people/crippa/ and
http://www.unipr.it/~crigia55/

Positions may start in Fall 2011 or later, by arrangement. I also
encourage prospective candidates who may be interested in starting in
Spring or Fall 2012 to contact me already at this stage.

Please feel free to contact me by email for any request of
information: pde.basel@gmail.com. Applications may also be sent by
email at the same address (please use the subject „Application for
Position at UNIBAS”), and should include a cover letter (explaining
the scientific interests of the candidate and the motivations for
coming to Basel), a curriculum vitae, and a list of people that may
provide references on the candidate. Applicants for Post-Doc positions
may also include a research statement. Applications should be sent
before the end of August 2011.

Salary scales: from CHF 40.800 to CHF 46.800 (yearly gross salary) for
PhD; starting from CHF 67.000 (yearly gross salary) and increasing
depending on the years of expertise for Post-Docs. Teaching duties:
one or two exercise groups per week during the semester. Suitable
research allowances will be guaranteed.
