This project is part of a close collaboration with Physics groups at TU Delft, TU Eindhoven and UTwente, aimed at experimental and computational analysis of ultimate regimes in turbulent flows. The PhD student will work under the guidance of Prof. Bernard Geurts (thesis promotor) and Dr. Mike Botchev. The applicants are expected to have - MSc (or comparable) degree in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical, Chemical or Civil Engineering - strong background in Numerical Mathematics and Computational Science, high motivation in doing research in the field of Numerical Methods - excellent programming skills in Fortran 95/2003, experience with MPI. Applications including your CV, list of grades, and a half-page page motivation why you want to work on this project, can be submitted by following the link http://www.utwente.nl/vacatures/??VacatureID=586362 We will not consider incomplete or mass-mailed applications. The application deadline is September 15, 2013. If you have questions concerning the vacancy, please contact Prof. Bernard Geurts (b.j.geurts@utwente.nl) or Dr. Mike Botchev (m.a.botchev@utwente.nl). ------ Subject: PhD Position, Algorithms for Nano-Scale Atomistic Simulations From: Per Christian Hansen Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 03:57:31 -0400 A PhD position is available at DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark, starting September 1, 2013 or later. It is funded by a grant from the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation, and the collaborators are QuantumWise A/S, DTU Compute, and DTU Nanotech. The overall goal of the collaboration is to develop an atomic-scale device simulator that can compute the electrical characterization of a nano-scale device with 100,000 atoms, using large-scale algorithms and including heating/heat-transport in the simulations. This PhD position is entitled "Large-Scale Algorithms for Nano-Scale Atomistic Simulations". The PhD project aims at developing new high-performance algorithms which will improve the capacity of the simulation tool beyond current state-of-the-art. The focus is on making the Green\222s function calculations faster through a reduction of the complexity, e.g., by means of using scattering states as an alternative, or by using ideas from sparse approximations. Candidates must have an MSc degree in applied mathematics or physics, or equivalent academic qualifications, and must have a strong background in large- scale numerical computations. All applications must be submitted in electronic form via DTU\222s home page: http://www.dtu.dk/english/career/5e17d0ca-8ede-49a3-9df4-6126e2ca81ed.aspx For more information see the above link, or contact Prof. Per Christian Hansen (www.imm.dtu.dk/~pch, pcha@dtu.dk) and CEO Kurt Stokbro (www.quantumwise.com, kurt.stokbro@quantumwise.com, tel +45 69901888. ------ Subject: Tenure Track Position in Applied and Computational Mathematics From: Daan Crommelin Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:31:42 -0400 Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam invites postdoctoral researchers to apply for a Tenure track position in Applied and Computational Mathematics within in the Computational Dynamics research group.
