Nick Trefethen, Oxford University ------ Subject: Postdoctoral and visiting opportunities at the IMA 2010-2011 From: Fadil Santosa Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:14:30 -0500 The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) at the University of Minnesota announces membership opportunities in connection with its 2010-2011 thematic program Simulating our Complex World: Modeling, Computation and Analysis This subject involves many interesting challenges in computational science and engineering. Individuals may apply for four classes of membership: * IMA Postdoctoral Fellowships * IMA Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowships * IMA General Memberships * IMA New Directions Research Professorships IMA POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS provide an excellent opportunity for mathematical scientists near the beginning of their career who have a background in and/or an interest in scientific computing, numerical solution of differential equations, inverse problems, and optimization. IMA postdoctoral fellowships run one to two years, at the option of the holder, starting September 1, 2010. In the second year of the appointment there are a variety of options to enhance career development, including participation in the 2011-2012 academic year program, teaching, and working on an industrial project. (application deadline January 4, 2010) IMA INDUSTRIAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS are designed to prepare mathematicians for research careers in industry or involving industrial interaction. IMA industrial postdoctoral fellowships run two years starting September 1, 2010. They are funded jointly by the IMA and an industrial sponsor, and holders devote 50% effort to their own research and the IMA program and 50% effort working with industrial scientists. (application deadline January 4, 2008) IMA GENERAL MEMBERSHIPS provide an opportunity for mathematicians and scientists employed elsewhere to spend a period of one month to one year in residence at the IMA, and to participate in the 2010-2011 thematic program. The residency should fall in the period September 2010 through June 2011. Logistic support such as office space, computer facilities,and secretarial support will be provided, and local expenses may be provided. The research interests of General Members must relate to the thematic program and a doctoral degree is normally expected. Applications may be submitted at any time until the end of the thematic program, and will be considered as long as funds remain available. (applications considered immediately and until funds are exhausted) IMA NEW DIRECTIONS RESEARCH PROFESSORSHIPS provide an extraordinary opportunity for established mathematicians -- typically mid-career faculty at US universities -- to branch into new directions and increase the impact of their research and teaching by spending the 2010-2011 academic year immersed in the thematic program at the IMA. Visiting Professors will enjoy an excellent research environment and stimulating scientific program. New Directions Research Professors are expected to be resident and active participants in the program but are not assigned formal duties. The New Directions program will supply 50% of academic year salary up to $50,000 maximum. A semester long visit is also possible. (application deadline January 4, 2010) All IMA members are provided with an excellent and extremely stimulating research environment and connection with a large community of first class researchers. The IMA is a national institute whose mission is to increase the impact of mathematics by fostering research of a truly interdisciplinary nature, linking mathematics of the highest and important scientific and technological problems from other disciplines and industry. Allied with this mission, the IMA also aims to expand and strengthen the talent base engaged in mathematical research applied to or relevant to such problems. It was founded in 1982 and receives its primary funding from the National Science Foundation. Application forms and instructions are available at www.ima.umn.edu/docs/ . More information on the IMA is available at www.ima.umn.edu. Questions may be directed to applications@ima.umn.edu for postdoctoral fellowships and general membership applications or to ndprof@ima.umn.edu for New Directions professorships. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer. ------ Subject: Contents, Advances in Mathematics of Communications 3:4 From: Liwei Ning Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:13:40 -0600 Advances in Mathematics of Communications (AMC) Volume: 3, Number: 4 November 2009 We offer a couple of weeks free online access to the full paper of AMC 3-4.
