Numerical methods and simulation: Methods for long time processes; Simulations of fluid-structure interaction and related free boundary problems; Handling complex wall models; Methods for processes with large deformations; Report and discussion of simulations results and their medical implications The Symposium will take place at a small meeting center close to the river Elbe in Magdeburg. The program of the Symposium will provide enough time for discussion and co-operation. Therefore the number and the time for lectures will be limited. There will be invited lectures and lectures selected from the offers of interested participants. Expected participants are experts and students from Mathematical Modeling, Analysis, Numerics and Medicine. ------ Subject: Postdoc Position, Univ of Queensland From: Dietmar Oelz Date: July 18, 2018 We are recruiting a full-time postdoctoral fellow to work on an Australian Research Council funded project that will involve the development, derivation and simulation of particle-based and continuum models for actomyosin dynamics.
