The specific disease targetted in this project is glioma, or brain cancer. The PDRA will be part of a multidisciplinary team to develop new mathematical/computational models which are fast, accurate and reliable. The PDRA at Stirling will model the dynamic aspects of cell response in cancer progress and treatment. An individual-based modelling approach will be used (specifically, process algebra). More information on the post and the essential and desired criteria are available at http://www.stir.ac.uk/about/jobs/list/ (Postdoctoral Research Assistant). You can also apply here. For informal enquiries, or to discuss how you might fit into our project, please contact the project principal investigator, Dr Carron Shankland (01786 467444, ces@cs.stir.ac.uk). ------ Subject: Postdoc Position, Transition to Turbulence in Rotation-Dominated Flows From: Hugh Blackburn Date: Mon, 6 May 2013 10:46:02 +1000 A postdoctoral research fellowship is available in a multi-national research team investigating mechanisms of transition to turbulence in rotation-dominated flows. This position will suit an established or recent PhD graduate with advanced expertise in rotating flows. The research fellow will undertake either experimental or numerical/theoretical work, depending on background and expertise; we plan to recruit an associated PhD student to work in the area which complements the background of the research fellow. The job will be based in Monash University, Melbourne, and would work with other consortium members Swinburne University, Arizona State University and IRPHE, Marseille. A successful candidate from a theoretical background would investigate different aspects of transition to turbulent flow in rotating systems using developments to an existing simulation and analysis package. A successful candidate from an experimental background would design and commission new equipment, utilising our funding for specialised new laser flow diagnostics. Data on transitions to turbulence will be obtained using the new apparatus in Melbourne and the existing apparatus at Marseille. The project provides funding to attend international conferences and also to travel to work with international project partners. The position will be funded for up to three years.
