The Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling
(CSCAMM) at the University of Maryland, College Park, invites
applications for one or more post-doctoral Research Associate
positions, starting September 1, 2009. The primary goal of the Center
is to foster research activity that highlights scientific computation
as a complementary avenue to theory and experiment. More about CSCAMM
can be found at www.cscamm.umd.edu.
Successful applicants are expected to have a strong component of their
research devoted to developing and studying mathematical models for
biomedical problems. The various projects involve opportunities to
collaborate with experimentalists and with medical doctors on
contemporary problems in cancer, immunology, and cell motility. The
preferred candidates should be highly motivated and independent.
He/she should hold a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (or in a related
discipline) and have experience in developing, analyzing, and
simulating mathematical models for biomedical problems. The positions
will be supervised by Prof. Doron Levy.
Appointments are for two years subject to an annual performance
review. The incumbent is expected to be actively involved with the
educational and research activities at CSCAMM and at the department of
Mathematics. Annual salary is $50,000 with an additional $2,000/yr for
support of the incumbent's research. Qualified applicants must file
their application electronically at the CSCAMM website:
http://www.cscamm.umd.edu/postDoc_app , including their curriculum
vitae and a research statement. Applicants should also arrange for
three letters of recommendation to be mailed or e-mailed to:

Three postoc positions Colorado State, Florida State, and Penn State
Universities
Three postdoc positions starting August 15, 2009 and lasting at least
1.5 years are available, one each at Colorado State, Florida State,
and Penn State, for a collaborative effort in regional ocean modeling
led by Qiang Du (Penn State University), Don Estep (Colorado State
University), and Max Gunzburger (Florida State University). In
addition, candidates hired for these positions will closely
collaborate with Todd Ringler at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Potential projects include developing algorithms for modeling
interactions between parameterized and fully-resolved dynamic and
tracer models; verifiable, goal-oriented regional mesh refinement
strategies; time-stepping schemes for variable resolution spatial
discretizations; and frequency-dependent eddy viscosity models.
A background in areas related to these types of activities is
desirable as is some knowledge of the applications problems to be
considered. Those interested in applying for any of the three
positions should send, via email, their CV and have two or three
letters of reference sent, also via email, to gunzburg@fsu.edu. Only
materials submitted in this electronic manner will be considered.
Applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
CSU, FSU, and PSU are Equal Opportunity Employers. Applications from
minority and female candidates are especially encouraged.
