This workshop will include mathematicians and computer scientists who work on algorithm design, implementation, and analysis, together with disciplinary scientists and engineers who use the algorithms in applications and have a working knowledge of their capabilities, weaknesses, and limitations. The major topics of the workshop will be acceleration methods, in particular Anderson acceleration; methods for nonlinear problems that have significant stochastic aspects; methods for nonsmooth problems; and various techniques for improving robustness, such as nonlinear preconditioning. For more details about the workshop, including a list of confirmed speakers to date, please see the workshop web page: http://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw15-5-nmlnp/ If you would like to participate in the workshop, you are encouraged to apply through the link provided on the workshop web page. All approved applicants will be invited to present posters on their work. Some funds are available to support participant travel. Those needing travel support can request it on the application form. ------ Subject: PhD Scholarships, Mathematics for a Sustainable Society From: Kristoffer Van Der Zee Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2015 15:48:48 +0000 Dear colleagues, Applications are invited for Leverhulme Trust Doctoral (PhD) Scholarships in Mathematics for A Sustainable Society (MASS), an interdisciplinary doctoral training centre at the University of Nottingham that aims to tackle the ongoing global problems of food shortages, water scarcity and insufficient clean energy.

Our focus is on compressible, turbulent particle laden flows and their aeroacoustics. We use Direct Numerical Simulation of the forward and adjoint equations as well as model order reduction to understand and control these flows, We are particularily interested in jets and boundary layers. Requirements: University degree in the area of numerical fluid dynamics (Diploma, Master or equivalent degree); excellent skills in mathematics, fluid dynamics / continuum mechanics and numerical simulation. Experiences with Turbulence, adjoint-based methods for optimization and Unix / Fortran / Matlab are an advantage, but can be aquired on the job. Duration: Five-year contract. Pay group E13 TV-L, with possibility to pursue a doctorate. Deadline for application is March 8, 2015. Please send your application as a PDF-File to office@tnt.tu-berlin.de. ------ Subject: Postdoc Position, Dynamics of Moving Contact Lines From: Serafim Kalliadasis Date: February 23, 2015 Imperial College London Department of Chemical Engineering Research Associate in Dynamics of Moving Contact Lines Salary: GBP33,410 to GBP42,380 per annum Fixed term appointment until 31 March 2016 Applications are invited by highly talented researchers for a 13 month Postdoctoral Research Associate position funded by the ERC Advanced Grant "Complex Interfacial Flows: From the Nano- to the Macro-Scale" under the supervision of Prof. Serafim Kalliadasis. The project concerns the theoretical analysis of the dynamics of moving contact lines. The ultimate aim is the development of a rigorous methodology for the treatment of moving contact lines based on first principles.
