It is expected that successful applicants will be appointed at the rank of Assistant Professor, but truly outstanding candidates for appointment at higher ranks will be considered. Excellence is essential in both research and teaching, and it is expected that the successful candidate will have at least two years of experience beyond the Ph.D. While outstanding applicants from all mathematical research areas will be considered, preference will be given to those with significant research accomplishments in Applied Mathematics. Specific areas of interest include: Nano/Materials Science, Mathematical Biology, Optics and Electromagnetics, Inverse Problems, Optimization, and Scientific Computation. Application information: Applicants should send a vita and a brief statement of research interests and arrange for at least four letters of recommendation, one of which must specifically address their ability to teach, to be sent to the department. Interested applicants should go to the Web site at http://www.mth.msu.edu/Hiring to complete an online application and to find a description of other required application material. Application materials can be addressed to: Hiring Committee, Department of Mathematics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1027. Completed applications (that include letters of recommendation) received by January 1, 2006, are assured of consideration, but applications will be considered until the positions are filled. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. MSU is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution. Handicapped applicants have the right to request and receive reasonable accommodation. ------ Subject: Position at TU Eindhoven From: "Mattheij, R.M.M." Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 12:39:38 +0100 Scientific consultancy position at the mathematics department TU Eindhoven The Technische Universiteit Eindhoven is located in the South-East of the Netherlands, in one of the most important technological centres of Europe, called Brainport. Its research ranks it among the top technology universities in Europe and its educational programmes are highly esteemed. Both research and education have a strong intertwining with industry. At the department of Mathematics and Computer Science research and education are supported by consultancy activities for which a professional team has been established. Their task is acquisition of projects, support of (graduate and Ph D) students in modelling and computing as well as carrying out specific projects out themselves. At the Centre for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications (CASA www.casa.tue.nl), which is a subdepartment of Mathematics, a new position (on top of three existing ones) has been created to enlarge the scope of the consultancy tasks further. This position regards an expert in inverse methods in a rather wide sense. Typically we are interested in one or more aspects of parameter estimation, inverse problems, data analysis and image reconstruction. The candidate should have a good knowledge of appropriate numerical methods on top of the relevant mathematical skills. He/she should hold a PhD and have a good feeling for mathematical modelling and interest in industrial engineering problems. Since the type of projects we are targeting is very industrially oriented, proven practical skills with modern programming languages are required. Any experience with commercial simulation packages is appreciated. Because of the special nature of the function a business-like attitude is important as well as being a good team player with excellent communication skills. The appointment will be for a period of 3 years initially. The salary will depend on knowledge and experience and varies from euro 2934 gross per month up to euro 4580 gross per month. The University offers a broad package of fringe benefits like child-care. The interested candidate should send his extended CV, including references, (mentioning V32947) to Prof Dr. R.M.M.
