The post is a fixed term contract for one year. The salary is in the range of GBP 27,665 - GBP30,835. You will be required to teach mathematics and statistics from very elementary level to advanced computational mathematics on our post-graduate courses. You will also be required to contribute to current short course programme. As a research officer you will be responsible to enhance the capabilities of Air3D, a compressible flow solver. Some of the enhancements include algorithmic performance, development of graphical user interface and parallelization of the program. You will also be required to contribute and deliver lectures/tutorials on a range of topics including computational partial differential equations, programming in C, high performance and parallel computing.
