The school will be held at INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, and it is organized in the framework of the CEA-INRIA-EDF schools. Audience: students, engineers and researchers interested in the modeling of the electrophysiology of the heart and of the brain. The school consists of four main lectures (2 heart + 2 brain) given by international experts, and six seminars on more specific topics. Main lecturers: Fernando Lopes da Silva, Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands Piero Colli Franzone, Universita di Pavia, Italy Jens Haueisen, TU Ilmenau, Germany Sasha Panfilov, Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands Lecturers: Serge Cazeau, Saint-Joseph Hospital, France Yves Coudiere, Nantes University, France Olivier David, INSERM, France Herve Delingette, INRIA, France Olivier Faugeras, INRIA, France Miguel A.

The position will be based at the Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE (OxPDE) in the Mathematical Institute. The start date is 1 January 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter. The project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Applicants should have a PhD degree (awarded or submitted at the time of taking up the position) in mathematics or a related discipline with a strong background in numerical analysis or scientific computing. Experience in multiscale modelling and/or solid mechanics is desirable. The closing date for applications in 6 November 2009.
