Subject: PhD position, Computational PDEs, Nottingham, UK
From: Kristoffer Van Der Zee <Kg.Vanderzee@nottingham.ac.uk>
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 23:17:03 +0100

The School of Mathematical Sciences at The University of Nottingham
invites applications for a PhD Scholarship in Scientific Computation,
in the field of Computational PDEs. The project is on theoretical
foundations of adaptive FEM (finite element methods) for nonlinear
PDEs, and will include a study of a posteriori error estimation,
nonlinear functional analysis, and optimal approximation theory.

Student profile: 1st class degree in Mathematics or other relevant
subject, exceptional writing skills, and strong interest in
computer-code development. A candidate with a solid background in the
mathematical and numerical analysis of PDEs will have an advantage.

The studentship covers UK/EU tuition fees. It is due to commence in
October 2014, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position will
remain open until filled.

For more information about the project and on how to apply, see:

Subject: PhD Position, CFD, City College of New York
From: Hansong Tang htang@ccny.cuny.edu
Date: August 21, 2014

A PhD student is sought in computational fluid dynamics/computational
engineering, starting in January, 2015 at the City College of New York
(CCNY) of the City University of New York (CUNY). Funded by NSF and
other sources, the successful candidate will develop new and enhance
existing numerical models for problems of coastal ocean flows. It is
expected that the candidates are highly motivated and goal oriented,
and have

1. MS degree in oceanography, applied math, civil engineering,
   or other related disciplines
2. Solid knowledge in mathematics and physics

Preference will be given to those who have experience in computer
programming and flow modeling algorithm development. Background in
both math and engineering is especially welcome. People with
citizenship of U.S. and its territory will have priority.

The CUNY is the US's leading urban public university serving more than
400,000 students at 23 colleges in New York City. CCNY, the flagship
campus of the university, is located in Manhattan and draws students
from around the world. CCNY is ranked among the top US universities
for producing engineers, business executives, and scientists
(including 9 Nobel Prize winners, 1 Fields medallist).

If interested, please apply at
http://www.ccny.cuny.edu/engineering/phd.cfm

as soon as possible, although search may continue until the position
is filled. You are also welcome to send a CV (including TOFEL and GRE
scores for international applicants, those with no such scores won't
be considered), transcripts, list of publications (if any) for a
pre-review with "PhD student" in the subject title in your email to:
htang@ccny.cuny.edu (only those with good match will be replied).
