It is organized as a multidisciplinary event with topics ranging from theoretical and numerical mathematics up to physics and applications. The emphasize will be on models related to topics originating in environmental, biomedical and industrial applications. The summer course is prepared for graduate students, young scientists, and other interested specialists. Besides of the course lectures, the program will include a one day workshop (on Wednesday, August 27) dedicated to short, more advanced lectures given by attending scientists. ERCOFTAC grants are available to support young scientists in order to help them to attend this event. Moreover, special 25% discount for all types of registration fees is available for participants from ERCOFTAC member institutions. ------ Subject: Faculty Positions, Applied Mathematics, Univ of Manchester From: Nick Higham Date: May 23, 2014 University of Manchester, School of Mathematics Two Lectureships in Applied Mathematics Salary: Starting from GBP 33,562 - GBP 46,400 per annum Closing Date: August 29, 2014 Applications are welcome from researchers whose interests complement and extend existing activity within the School, particularly in the areas of dynamical and/or stochastic systems, data-driven applications, or interdisciplinary applications (for example in industry, biology or geophysics).

The focus of these positions will be fundamental investigations of extreme behavior, such as potential singularity formation, in fluid flow models using a combination of mathematical analysis and large-scale computations (the post-doctoral position may also involve some teaching). Required background involves (ideally, a combination of) theoretical fluid mechanics, large-scale scientific computing (including numerical optimization) and PDE analysis. Details concerning student positions are available at the web address http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/index.php/graduate-studies/application-procedure.html whereas information about the post-doctoral opening will be posted at http://ms.mcmaster.ca/bprotas/news.shtml Interested candidates should contact Dr. Bartosz Protas Department of Mathematics & Statistics McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, CANADA L8S 4K1 Email: bprotas@mcmaster.ca URL: http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/bprotas for more information and application procedures. ------ Subject: PhD/Postdoc Positions, Reservoir Modelling From: Stefan Lemvig Glimberg Date: May 26, 2014 The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is offering two PhD and three Post Doc positions in relation to the project "Optimizing Oil Production by Novel Technology Integration - OPTION", supported by the Danish National Foundation for Advanced Technologies. The project will be carried out in collaboration with DTU, Lloyd??s Register Consulting, and Welltec A/S. The objective of the OPTION project is to bring technology to the next level by providing numerical tools for predicting and performing optimal control of the oil and gas flow between wells and the reservoir. To achieve this goal, this project aims at realizing the integration of the four different models: reservoir modelling, reservoir simulation, well flow control, and numerical optimization methods. Candidates must have a background in mathematical modelling, physics, computational science and engineering, or equivalent academic qualifications. The positions require highly motivated individuals who are able to work within a cross-disciplinary team and with proficient scientific programming experience. Results, when appropriate, are to be implemented into modules of an existing framework used by the industry partners for advanced reservoir simulations. The candidates are expected to join activities within CEnter of Energy Resources (CERE) at DTU. A good command of the English language is essential.
