The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM) is the world's largest institute for industrial mathematics and is one of the top employers in Germany. In the Optimisation department, we use multi-criteria optimisation methods to develop innovative solutions for the diverse challenges faced by our customers from a wide range of industries. The results of our research work are of direct benefit to industry and society. Examples of this include the optimised irradiation of tumours and the planning of ground-mounted photovoltaic systems.
The corona pandemic caught Germany unprepared. As new pandemics are more likely in the future due to changes in the habitats of humans and animals, it is important to learn from it and have important tools ready. For example, decisions on vaccine order quantities must be made at an early stage, even though only rough information on the pathogen is available.
Model-based, interactive decision support tools can show the dependencies between vaccine use and the resulting disease burden.
**What you will do**
As part of your doctorate, you can investigate the following questions:
- How can a cohort-based, epidemiological model be mathematically optimised using multiple criteria?
- How can the sensitivity to individual unknown parameters be demonstrated?
- How can helpful, interactive software tools be designed to support decision-making?
**What you bring to the table**
- You have an above-average university degree in mathematics, computer science or physics
- You have a high level of abstraction and mathematical creativity
- You enjoy applied mathematical optimisation and would like to implement your models and algorithms in software
- Ideally, you have previous knowledge of mathematical modelling and numerical methods, for example from non-linear optimisation
- You are willing to familiarise yourself with new topics and concepts
- You can communicate complex issues clearly in German and English
**What you can expect**
- We work in small, agile project teams on innovative mathematical problems that you help to shape yourself
- You will gain insights into the requirements and challenges of industrial practice while researching your doctoral topic free from project obligations
- We support you in acquiring domain knowledge and IT skills as part of your familiarisation phase
- We offer a comprehensive training programme on various mathematical methods, IT topics and soft skills
- You will have the opportunity to publish scientific papers and take part in conferences
- We support your individual work-life balance with a flexible working model
