It is normal to appoint at the first point of the salary scale. Closing date for applications: 21 August 2014 Expected start: 1 September 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter We seek to hire a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Fellow within our research group on a fixed term 3 years full time position starting September 2014. This is a highly desirable position supported by the Leverhulme Trust research project grant (RPG-2014-149: Unravelling new mathematics for 3D cell migration) to undertake cutting-edge research on the development, analysis and simulations of bulk-surface partial differential equations for cell motility. Modelling 3D cell motility is an emerging open-frontier research problem spanning several disciplines such as mathematics, numerical analysis, scientific computing, image analysis, cell biology, plant biology, developmental biology and biophysics. Hence the aim of this fellowship is to unravel new 3D whole-cell mathematical and computational models for cell migration through coupling of internal cell dynamics (in the bulk) to cell-surface dynamics as well as modelling how cells interact with their environment. Key to this development is the understanding of the geometric quantities describing 3D cell shape and movement as well as the molecular biology underpinning cell movement and deformation. Prospective candidates should hold a PhD in Numerical Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Computational Biology and/or other related disciplines. Candidates should include with their application the following: 1) Academic CV; 2) Official academic transcripts; 3) Contact details for two suitable referees; 4) A personal statement (500 words maximum) outlining their suitability for the position and research experience to date relevant to the project; 5) Application form Enquiries: All enquiries should be directed to Dr Anotida Madzvamuse (a.madzvamuse@sussex.ac.uk), Dr Vanessa Styles (v.styles@sussex.ac.uk) Further details can be found at the website: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/aboutus/jobs/737 ------ Subject: Postdoc Position, Num Model & HPC for Heart Functioning From: Luca Dede' Date: July 28, 2014 A postdoctoral position in the field of modeling and scientific computing for the study of the human heart functioning is available at the CMCS Chair of Prof. Quarteroni, MATHICSE, EPF Lausanne ( http://cmcs.epfl.ch ).

The candidate will contribute to the research in progress in the Chair in the field of heart modeling. This includes mathematical and numerical modeling, numerical approximation of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), and code development for High Performance Computing, including multicore programming techniques. The position includes teaching activities and duties in compliance with the regulations of EPFL and the Mathematics Section for scientific collaborators. Prerequisites include a PhD degree in Applied Mathematics, Computational Sciences, Computational Mechanics, or related areas, and experience in the fields of mathematical and numerical modeling for PDEs, programming, numerical simulation, and High Performance Computing. Candidates should send a motivation letter and a resume (CV) with the list of publications and details on the experience according to the prerequisites to Dr. Luca Dede' ( luca.dede AT epfl.ch ); the names and contacts of at least three referees must be indicated (reference letters are not required at this stage). Applications should be sent before August 17th, 2014, but will be considered until the position is filled. ------ Subject: Contents, Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series S 8:1 From: Susan Cummins Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:56:28 -0500 Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series S (DCDS-S) Volume: 8, Number: 1 February 2015 http://aimsciences.org/journals/contentsListnew.jsp?pubID=698 1.
