We require a Ph.D. within the last the three years and the potential for excellence in research. The position is initially for one year, but is renewable for a second year depending on performance and carries a teaching load of one course per semester. The main focus of the position is research and funds for travel will be provided. In the letter of application candidates must identify two members of the faculty with whom they propose to work should they be hired. For information about research areas in the Department please see our website (http://www.math.udel.edu). We encourage applicants to contact members of the faculty to discuss research interests. Candidates should apply online by visiting the MathJobs.org website (http://www.mathjobs.org). Applications will be reviewed after December 1st and the review will continue until the position is filled. Enquiries may be addressed to Peter Monk at monk@math.udel.edu.

This appointment will build on strong existing joint activity between the departments in research and in undergraduate and postgraduate training, and on world-leading research into the physical and dynamical processes that control weather and climate, involving over 120 research scientists, a number of national NERC research centres, and groups of the UK Met Office on site at Reading. The person we seek will have: - An outstanding research record in a subject that builds upon or complements our existing strengths in the departments of Meteorology and Mathematics. - The ability to build and lead a research group. - The desire to contribute to our internationally renowned undergraduate and graduate teaching programmes. Applications in the area of computational fluid dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans are particularly encouraged, but applications in other areas of joint interest are welcomed. For further details see http://www.reading.ac.uk/Maths/ under job vacancies. Informal enquiries can be made to Prof Simon Chandler-Wilde, Head of Department of Mathematics, on +44 (0)118 378 5017 and S.N.Chandler-Wilde@reading.ac.uk or to Professor Keith Shine, Head of Department of Meteorology, on +44 (0)118 378 8405 and k.p.shine@reading.ac.uk ------ Subject: Faculty Position at WLU, Waterloo, Canada From: Roderick Melnik Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:58:39 -0400 Faculty Position at WLU, Waterloo, Canada The Department of Mathematics at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada invites applications for a tenure track position to begin July 1, 2009.
