In order to fill a fixed-term position in part-time (6-12 hours per week) at the earliest possible date, we are looking for two
Research assistants (WHB) (m/f/x) with a Bachelor's degree
The group "Applied Numerics" at Ruhr University Bochum conducts cutting-edge mathematical research on the efficient solution of partial differential equations with applications in engineering, natural as well as medical sciences. Our group's focus is on finite element algorithms, spanning topics from novel discretization techniques, efficient solution of linear and nonlinear systems of equations and the implementation on novel compute architectures such as GPUs or many-core CPUs organized in large parallel supercomputers.
As a research assistant (m/f/x) you will support the research on the project dealii-X and related activities and contribute to the development of finite-element algorithms for application in biomedical applications.
Scope: part-time
Duration: fixed-term, 1 Jahr
Start: at the earliest possible date
Apply by: 2026-07-03
Your tasks:
- Testing and assessing cutting-edge implementations of numerical algorithms
- Evaluation of mathematical properties of numerical methods
- Assistance for setting up realistic workflows together with our team
Your profile:
- Studies in mathematics, computional engineering or a related topic
- Basic knowledge of numerical methods and basic programming, ideally in Python/Julia/C++
- Background on numerical methods for partial differential equations is desirable
We offer:
A qualified on-boarding and induction process, Flexible working hours with consideration for study times, Collaboration in a committed and appreciative team

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is Ruhr-Universität Bochum’s declared aim.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
