Veldman" Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2008 09:51:58 -0500 Tenure Track (Assistant Professor) Computational Modelling and Scientific Computing at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) The vacancy concerns a tenure track position in the Institute for Mathematics and Computing Science at the University of Groningen. The position is embedded in the section Computational Mechanics and Numerical Mathematics, which develops numerical simulation methods for aero- and hydrodynamic flow (CFD). Research is focused on the basic design of numerical algorithms, such as discretization methods and matrix solvers. Main application areas are maritime and aerospace engineering, oceanography, turbulence and bio-fluid dynamics. The candidate is expected to contribute to the teaching and organizational duties of the department, e.g. (under)graduate courses, computer exercises and thesis supervision. Also he/she is expected to strengthen the group's research visibility and to attract external funding. Required is a PhD degree in the field of computational modelling and scientific computing, at least two years of post-doctoral experience in a multi-disciplinary computational environment, a strong record of research accomplishments in developing computational models and algorithms, a substantial list of publications and excellent teaching and organisational skills. The appointment will be on temporary basis for a maximum of six years. On completion of five years of employment there will be an assessment of performance based on established criteria. If the outcome of the assessment is positive, a permanent appointment as associate professor will be offered. Information can be obtained from prof.dr. A.E.P. Veldman, head of the research group in Computational Mechanics and Numerical Mathematics; E-mail: a.e.p.veldman@rug.nl; URL: http://www.math.rug.nl/~veldman/ Details about the application procedure can be found at http://www.academictransfer.org/00347-832. ------ Subject: Visitng/Postdoc position at Wright State University From: weifu fang Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 15:02:59 -0500 The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Wright State University invites applications for a visiting assistant professor position in applied and computational mathematics starting Fall 2009.
