Confirmed main speakers: Pierre Degond, Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse Andrew Fowler, University of Limerick Endre Suli, University of Oxford Lutz Tobiska, Otto von Guericke Universitat All aspects of computational and analytical methods for boundary and interior layers, and singular perturbation problems are welcome. Special emphasis is laid on the mathematical foundation of such methods. Topics in any scientific field (fluid mechanics, semiconductor modelling, control theory, aero- and hydrodynamics, chemical kinetics, etc) in which boundary and interior layers occur are welcome. This is the latest in a series of BAIL conferences that began in 1980.

Job description: The oceans, especially in coastal regions, are important for their natural resources. Particular peril is caused by the appearance of waves with a height so extreme that wave impact on offshore and coastal defense structures endangers their safety and environmentally sound operation. The prediction of these so-called extreme waves is nearly impossible with analytical methods and requires model experiments supported by numerical simulations. Our project aims at supporting experimental modeling and consulting at the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research by developing a numerical wave and current tank using advanced numerical techniques, including discontinuous Galerkin finite element modeling and its numerical analysis. Qualification: You have recently graduated (M.Sc./M.Eng.) in mathematics/ physics/ engineering sciences with interest in (computational) fluid dynamics and numerical analysis. You have experience in mathematical analysis and numerical modeling, fluid dynamics, and are interested in civil engineering applications. You work accurately and independently, are creative, a team player and have excellent communication skills, particularly in written and spoken English. Please send in your tentative application including a full CV, specifying relevant education and work experience, including a list of courses completed and grades obtained, publications, references, and a statement of your research interests, preferably by e-mail. Applications should be received before June 15th, 2008. Please contact us, Professor Jaap van der Vegt and Dr. Onno Bokhove, at o.bokhove at math.utwente.nl and www.math.utwente.nl/~bokhoveo ------ Subject: Position at NRL From: "Saikat Dey (Contractor)" Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:24:20 -0400 US Naval Research Laboratory is seeking candidates with a doctoral degree in engineering, applied mathematics or physics.
