This Conference is the second joint meeting of the Conference on Mathematical Population Dynamics (MPD) and the Conference on Deterministic and Stochastic Models for Biological Interactions (DeStoBio), with a 20-year history of international meetings with ever-increasing participation (www.cmpd2.ime.unicamp.br , choose History of CMPD). As in the previous conferences from both series, the aim of the meeting is to bring together people from different fields (applied mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, computer scientists, biologists, clinicians, epidemiologists, biomedical scientists, ecologists, ...) interested in (deterministic and/or stochastic) models for population dynamics and interactions. There will be 10 plenary lectures and several parallel sessions organized by thematic interest. On-line registration and abstract submission are available at www.cmpd2.ime.unicamp.br . We remark that deadline for session proposals is February 28 and for abstract submission is March 31, 2007 .

INRIA has recently launched a multi-disciplinary research activity in the field of cardiac activity, CardioSense3D, aimed at coupling electrochemical activity to mechanical processes (myocardium contraction and blood ejection/heart perfusion). The work is focused on vein and cardiac valve modeling, treating both the deformation of the domain and the contact between the valve leaflets, as well as between the cusps and the vasculature walls, in collaboration with the Center of Applied Mathematics of Ecole Polytechnique (CMAP, Olivier Pantz). Ile de France region supports this investigation and is offering a postdoctoral opportunity (about 2150 euros) for a candidate with experiences in the following domains: * finite-element based numerical methods; * computational structural mechanics and fluid dynamics, with some experiences in fluid-structure interaction (ALE, fictitious domain); * basic computer science skills. The candidate will interact with the members of GLAIZER company, especially with Francois Loret (Francois.Loret@glaizer.com) ------ Subject: Postdoctoral position at Grenoble, France From: Jerome Monnier Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 08:39:03 +0100 PostDoctoral Position in Computational Sciences: "Improvement of a 3D soil water transfer module into a modular distributed hydrological model. Application to runoff generation" The applicant will be recruted in a french hydrology laboratory (Cemagref-Lyon/LTHE-Grenoble) but the work will be performed in collaboration with applied mathematicians (Lab LJK & project-team MOISE - INRIA, Grenoble). The work will be conducted in the framework of the STREP-HYDRATE project (Hydrometeorological data resources and technologies for effective flash-flood forecasting)and will contribute to the development of a fully distributed 3D soil water transfer module, including runoff, to test hypotheses about water pathways and define the controlling factors of runoff generation. The applicant will elaborate an efficient numerical scheme for solving the 3D Richards equation describing flow in the saturated/unsaturated zone, using an unstructured geometry with large ratio between lateral and vertical dimensions. See details at http://www.lyon.cemagref.fr/hh/stages A PhD in Computational Sciences or Applied Mathematics is required. Skills of the candidate: Strong competence in numerical methods for PDEs (knowledge on Richards equation would be appreciated), ability to work in team and in a multidisciplinary context. This is a 12 months position with 2500 Euros/month, starting preferably in May-June 2007.
