Candidates with some background in mathematical fluid dynamics, analysis and numerics of evolution equations or nonlinear functional analysis are very welcome. The positions include (a small amount of) teaching duties. Therefore, a working command of German will be necessary. The deadline for applications is December 18, 2009. More details can be found at http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/Universitaet/Aktuelles/Stellenausschreibungen/wiss1302.html for the PostDoc position (full position with salary according to E13 TV-L) and at http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/Universitaet/Aktuelles/Stellenausschreibungen/wiss1303.html for the PhD position (3/4 position with salary according to E13 TV-L). For any inquiries, please contact Prof. Dr. Etienne Emmrich, Bielefeld University, Mathematics Department (emmrich(at)math.uni-bielefeld.de, www.math.uni-bielefeld.de/~emmrich). ------ Subject: PhD Opportunity at Purdue University From: Lucy Flesch Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:45:33 -0500 We invite applications for PhD research assistantships for a 3-year NSF funded new project in continental dynamics at Purdue University. The student would join the research team investigating continental deformation through the innovative application of micropolar theory to understand the nature of block and continuous behavior. Strong quantitative skills are required. Ideal candidates will have a background in geophysics, numerical analysis or applied mathematics. Applications should be sent to the Department Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (www.purdue.edu/eas) with a copy to Lucy Flesch. For more information please contact Dr. Lucy Flesch (lmflesch@purdue.edu). Purdue University is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access/Affirmative Action employer fully committed to achieving a diverse student body. ------ Subject: Contents, Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series A 26:2 From: Liwei Ning Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 11:27:23 -0600 Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems Series A (DCDS-A) Volume: 26, Number: 2 February 2010 We offer a couple of weeks free online access to the full paper of DCDS-A 26-2.
