The aim of the workshop is to bring together people, in the mathematics and general scientific community, who have particular interests in the development and applications of numerical methods for problems that exhibit layer phenomena, such as boundary/interior layers in fluid flow and other applications. ------ Subject: SIAM Conference on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures From: Kirsten Wilden Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:11:57 -0400 SIAM Conference on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures (NW10) August 16-19, 2010 Sheraton Society Hill Hotel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Theoretical aspects of applied mathematical research on nonlinear waves and coherent structures are relevant to subjects as diverse as general relativity, high-energy particle and plasma physics, fluid and solid mechanics, nonlinear electrical circuits, Bose-Einstein condensation, nonlinear optics, random media, atmosphere and ocean dynamics, chemical reactions, and biology. Remarkable agreement between theory and experiments can be claimed in many of these fields. The goals of NW10 are to provide a forum for the development of mathematical methods and tools, to foster cross-fertilization among different fields of application, and most crucially to enable communication between the mathematicians who build the theory and the scientists who use it. The conference program will consist of presentations on subjects ranging from basic mathematical research to concrete applications.

Closing date: 9 November 2009 ------ Subject: Mathematics Positions at Shanghai Jiaotong University From: ygwang@sjtu.edu.cn Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:11:00 +0800 Shanghai Jiao Tong University, one of the top universities in China, is undertaking a major expansion aimed at becoming one of the world's leading centers of scientific research. Building a first-rate Department of Mathematics is an essential part of this expansion. An ambitious faculty recruitment program, aimed at attracting several dozens of faculty members at all levels, including both senior academic leaders and promising young researchers, will be continued for the next few years. Salary and start-up packages are competitive with the peer institutions in China, and at the international level in special cases. Candidates will be considered at all ranks, and in all major fields of modern applied and pure mathematics. Endowed Chair Professorships are available to senior mathematicians with well-established academic credentials. Other senior and junior professorships are open to candidates with exceptional research records or potential. Applications should consist of a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, summary of future research plans, and four letters of reference. Application materials should preferably be electronically sent to ygwang@sjtu.edu.cn They can also be mailed to The Hiring Committee Department of Mathematics Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai 200240, China. Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue for the next several years. ------ Subject: Lectureship in Applied Mathematics, University of Zurich From: Stefan Sauter Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:01:00 -0400 The Institute of Mathematics of the University of Zurich invites applications for a position of a Lectureship in Applied Mathematics beginning February 1st, 2010 or later. This position is intended for young scientists with a PhD degree. It is awarded for a period of three years, with the possibility of an extension by another year. The Institute offers a stimulating research environment and excellent working conditions. The successful candidates will already have shown exceptional promise in research in the broader area of applied mathematics. Women are particularly encouraged to apply. (Due to some recent hirings in probability theory, this field has reduced priority this time.) Duties of lecturers include research and teaching. The moderate teaching load leaves ample room for further professional development. Please submit your online application (www.math.uzh.ch/jobs) with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a description of ongoing research activities, and at least two letters of recommendation, no later than November 15, 2009. Late applications which are exceptionally strong will be considered until the positions are filled. Positions are subject to availability of resources and administrative approval.
