From: Younghae Do Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:58:00 -0400 The Department of Mathematics at Kyungpook National University is excited to announce its new Post-Doc program for WCU(World Class University) Project in Applied Fluid Dynamics. WCU is higher education subsidy program of Korean government to upgrade research level of Korean universities by generously supporting a group of eminent international research scientists. Professor Juan M. Lopez at Arizona State University who is prominent in Fluid Dynamics will join our WCU project. It will continue five years until 2013. We are soliciting postdoctoral research fellows to participate in this exciting research program to study in the field of Applied Fluid Dynamics. Applicants should be strong in Numerical computation of Partial differential equation. This is a one-year appointment and is renewable. The annual salary starts from 24,000,000 Korean Won(the maximum salary - 42,000,000 Korean Won) depending on the research experie nce and qualifications. Successful applicants can get an incentive with their salaries as much as their performances. All applicants should include the following items: a. Curriculum vitae b. Publications list c. Other materials as seemed necessary to evaluate applicant's research ability. To apply, send above items electronically to yhdo@knu.ac.kr Consideration of applications will continue the positions are filled throughout the WCU Project. If you have any questions, feel free to contact at the e-mail address above. For more information about WCU Project of Korea, refer to the KOSEF website.

In the Scientific Computing Group at the dept. of Computer Science, K.U.Leuven, we develop numerical techniques for the simulation and analysis of multiscale models, with emphasis on the 'equation-free framework' and RVE-based micro/macro methods. In a new project, we aim to quantify and to control the inherent uncertainty at the coarse scale that originates from the use of stochastic fine-scale models. Due to the fine-scale stochasticity, propagates into the coarse model and how it affects the coarse solution. The aim is to reduce this numerical noise, and to investigate how to match the resulting errors with those resulting from other sources, such as discretisation errors. For this project we are looking for a candidate holding a masters degree or PhD in either Applied Mathematics/Numerical Mathematics/Scientific Computing or similar disciplines, who is interested to work on this project, in collaboration with other researchers in the group. The position at the pre-doctoral level will be initially for one year. After a positive evaluation, this position will be extended for three more years. The position at the post-doctoral level is for one year with the possibility of extension for a second year. The position can commence immediately. Interested candidates should submit their application by email to Dirk.Roose@cs.kuleuven.be and to Giovanni.Samaey@cs.kuleuven.be . The email should contain a pdf-file as an attachment with the following information: - Curriculum Vitae (CV) - a short description of your qualifications and experience (i.e. courses, Diploma or Master thesis, PhD thesis) - a letter describing your scientific interests related to the project - names and email-addresses of one or two scientists willing to provide a reference Dirk Roose Dept.
