Postdoctoral Scholar
About The Position
The Department of Mathematics in Penn State's Eberly College of Science is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar beginning August 2027, supported by an Office of Naval Research grant. The successful candidate will work with Professor John Harlim in Computational Geometry, developing computationally efficient algorithms that use computational geometric tools to solve PDEs on free boundaries and/or unknown domains. Teaching may be required. This is a term position. The term length will be discussed during the interview process. Continuation beyond that term will depend on university need, performance, and/or funding availability. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Employment requires successful completion of background checks in accordance with University policies.
