If you are interested in furthering your research experience in a diverse, vibrant environment where the focus falls on translating academic research into practical/medical applications, then it is time to apply to the institute for Continuum and Material Mechanics at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). This pioneering, forward thinking Institute is currently working on a project to model mathematically of the brain-stomach axis. The project is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft (DFG) for a duration of 2,5 years finishing in January 2025.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, high-energy recruit with analytical and problem solving-skills, keen to work in a multidisciplinary (mathematics and biology) environment to explore the mysteries of the human body and find answers to urgent medical questions related the stomach malfunction.

The successful candidate is expected to:

- be familiar with the finite difference method to solve systems of ordinary and partial differential equations
- have experience in programming and software development
- know Python as a language of programming
- work collaboratively with other members of the multicultural team
- be diligent and responsible in his/her work.

Renumeration and workload will be discussed during the interview.

If you are interested, submit your CV listing your academic report, and marked Brain-Stomach Axix, to Bettina Schrieber (e: b.schrieber@tuhh.de) at the Institute for Continuum and Material Mechanics, TUHH.
