Coimbra From: Luis Nunes Vicente Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 15:11:23 +0100 5-Year Research Positions - Univ. Coimbra, Portugal The Centre for Mathematics of the University of Coimbra (CMUC) invites applications for three 5-year research positions, two in Applied and Computational Mathematics and one in Statistics. The Centre is interested in a variety of research topics, including: - analysis and control of PDEs - applied harmonic analysis - high-performance computing - modeling and simulation of complex systems - optimization - statistical estimation and inference and applications to biology, engineering, finance, and imaging. Applicants should have a PhD in Mathematical Sciences, at least three years of post-doctoral experience, and a strong command of English. The positions are part of a prestigious national program for research. The applications will be screened by an international panel of the highest quality. The candidates selected will participate in a stimulating and interdisciplinary research environment. The positions might revert to tenure-track in the future. The salary is highly competitive, in the order of 42500 euros a year. The positions do not involve teaching duties, but there will be the opportunity to teach graduate courses if desired. CMUC will provide social benefits and a professional travel allowance. The deadline for application is September 10, 2007, and the application details are given in http://www.mat.uc.pt/~cmuc/5-year.pdf ------ Subject: Phd position, CASA, Eindhoven Univ. of Technology From: "Maubach, J.M.L." Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 10:32:15 +0200 PhD position: Modeling and control of an electron microscope in Eindhoven University of Technology, Department Mathematics and Computer Science, Center for Analysis, Scientific Computing and Applications (CASA), prof.dr. R.M.M. Matteij Required: MSc in mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, systems and control, or a related field. The applicant should have good analytical and modeling skills as well as good communication skills. Research topic: Modeling and control of an electron microscope. The research will concentrate on image analysis. From observed images we aim to reconstruct the geometry of the observed entity as well as the (or some) control settings of the microscope. The ultimate goal is to automate the electron microscope's controls for inserted specific specimen under, in order to get focused, astigmatic etc. images without the aid of the user. The research includes the modeling how the image depends on the microscope's controls and specimen as well as the related optimization to match desired images. The microscope can be modeled based on FEM direct computations or database based interpolations. Just as the specimen all should be modeled in such a representation that calculations can take place as fast as possible. Iterative and non-linear solution techniques will be exploited to get an efficient optimization procedure. Applications should be addressed to: r.m.m.mattheij@tue.nl Please include: Presentation letter; Curriculum Vitae; List of MSc. Grades; List of people for recommendation. Starting date: As soon as possible. The salary is conforming the Dutch VSNU salary scale for PhDs.
