Main research themes in our group are analysis and algorithm design in electronic structure theory (especially tensor network methods) and optimal transport, and we intend to appoint one doctoral candidate in each area.

Successful applicants will hold or are about to complete a Masters in mathematics, and will have previous expertise in a relevant area.

Please send a CV as soon as possible but no later than 01.03.2026 electronically (as a single pdf-file) to: Amadeus Dorchholz, Department of Mathematics, dorc@cit.tum.de. Also please arrange that one brief letter of recommendation be sent directly by your chosen referee to the same email address.

TUM explicitly encourages applications from women and all others who would bring additional diversity dimensions to the university.
