The program will take place at the IPAM building on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles. The program is organized by Emmanuel Candes (Caltech, Applied Math), David Donoho (Stanford, Statistics), Peter Jones (Yale, Math), and Jean-Luc Starck (Saclay, Astronomy). =20 In the past decade, a number of independent developments in mathematical analysis, in computer vision, in pattern recognition, and in statistical analysis have independently developed tools and theories which can now be seen to be closely related, as parts of an emerging area which should be called Multiscale Geometric Analysis. The purpose of this meeting is to crystallize this emerging field and to stimulate cross-disciplinary exchanges which will accelerate its formation and development. Some funding is available for graduate students and post-docs and young academics. Full information about the workshop, including speaker list, and online registration form is available at the following website: http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/mga2003/ Program specific questions can be directed to mailto:mga2003@ipam.ucla.edu ------ Subject: Joint Meeting of CAIMS and SIAM in Montreal From: Kirsten Wilden Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 10:39:40 -0500 First Joint Meeting of CAIMS and SIAM 24th Annual Meeting of CAIMS/SCMAI 2003 SIAM Annual Meeting Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Montreal, QC, Canada June 16-20, 2003 The Call for Presentations for this conference is available at: http://www.siam.org/meetings/an03/ Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: January 3, 2003 Deadline for minisymposium speaker abstracts:January 23, 2003 Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts: January 23, 2003 For additional information, contact SIAM Conference Department at meetings@siam.org ------ From: L. G. de Pillis Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2002 09:26:16 -0800 Subject: Faculty Position at Harvey Mudd College Tenure Track Assistant/Associate Professor Position in Applied Mathematics Harvey Mudd College Department of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College invites applications for a tenure-track professorship at the assistant or associate professor level. Preference will be given to candidates whose research is in applied mathematics (e.g., applied dynamical systems, asymptotic methods, fluid dynamics, mathematical biology, numerical methods, PDE's, scientific computing). Excellence in teaching is absolutely essential, as is evidence of a strong and ongoing research program. Candidates must be willing to supervise undergraduate research, and work with others in the development of departmental programs. Harvey Mudd College is a highly selective undergraduate institution of science, engineering and mathematics with a median SAT score approaching 1500 and one year of high school calculus required for admission. Each year there are about 25 graduates in mathematics, CS/math, and mathematical biology with approximately half going to graduate school. Over 40% of mathematics alumni from HMC have entered PhD programs. The College enrolls about 700 students and is a member of the Claremont College consortium, which consists of four other undergraduate colleges, the Claremont Graduate University, and the Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences, forming together an academic community of about 5000 students. There is an active and vital research community of over 40 mathematicians in the consortium. Claremont is situated approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, at the foot of the San Gabriel mountains. The community is known for its tree-lined streets and village charm. It is an easy drive from Claremont to the cultural attractions of the greater Los Angeles area, as well as the ocean, mountains and deserts of Southern California. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a description of their teaching philosophy and experience, a description of their current research program, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to the address that appears below. Further information about the college and department may be found at: http://www.math.hmc.edu Preference will be given to applications completed by January 10, 2003. Harvey Mudd College is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to the recruitment of applicants historically underrepresented on college faculties. Address for applications: Professor Andrew J. Bernoff Chair, Search Committee Department of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA 91711-5990 ------ Subject: Positions at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne From: John Maddocks Date: Tue, 03 Dec 2002 17:28:45 +0100 Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne Applications are invited for positions within the Maddocks group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL). A postdoctoral position is available in September 2003; a PhD position could start as early as April 2003. The research of the group is concentrated in the use of techniques of continuum mechanics in the modelling of DNA. The work on DNA is carried out in close collaboration with various experimental groups. Various projects emphasize mathematical or numerical analysis, while others center on large-scale computation. Further details concerning these positions and the application procedure can be found at the site http://lcvmwww.epfl.ch/Positions.html ------ Subject: Postdoctoral Position at University of Kentucky From: Jun Zhang Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 21:58:05 -0500 (EST) Postdoc Position in Biosimulation, University of Kentucky A postdoctoral research position is available to simulate and study the 3D heat transfer effects on biological bodies and on skin burns. The goal is to build an accurate model to describe the skin burn processes and a computer toolkit for simulating such processes. The position is available immediately. Candidates with a Ph.D. degree in science and engineering with sufficient training in mathematical modeling and computer programming are encouraged to apply. Since we prefer to fill the position as soon as possible, only those candidates who are authorized to work in the U.S. will be considered. The postdoc must have good command of both written and spoken English. The successful candidate will be affiliated with the Laboratory for High Performance Scientific Computing and Computer Simulation (the HiPSCCS Lab). More information about the HiPSCCS Lab can be found at www.cs.uky.edu/~hipscns. Please e-mail (preferred) your curriculum vitae (with full publication list and e-mail addresses of three referees) in postscript or ASCII (no MS-WORD, please) to Jun Zhang at jzhang@cs.uky.edu, or fax it to (859)323-1971. The last means is to send a postal mail to: Professor Jun Zhang Department of Computer Science University of Kentucky 773 Anderson Hall Lexington, KY 40506-0046 USA Please do not have the reference letters sent, they will be requested if needed. ------ Subject: Contents, Communications on Pure and Applied Analysis 1:4 From: "Shouchuan Hu" Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 23:03:05 -0600 Communications on Pure and Applied Analysis http://AIMsciences.org Volume 1 Number 4 December 2002 M. del Pino, P.
