Subject: Updating LA Software Survey
We are planning to update the survey of freely available software for
the solution of linear algebra problems. The “draft” version of the
survey can be found at:
http://www.netlib.org/utk/people/JackDongarra/la-sw.html
The aim is to put in “one place” links to the source code that is
freely available for solving problems in numerical linear algebra,
specifically dense, sparse direct and iterative systems and sparse
iterative eigenvalue problems. Please send dongarra@eecs.utk.edu
updates and corrections. We will post a note on the na-digest when the
new list is available.
Thanks,

Subject: Tenure Track Position, Scientific Computing, CWI, Amsterdam
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) invites postdoctoral researchers
to apply for a tenure track position in scientific computing within
the Multiscale Dynamics group. We particularly invite qualified women
to apply.
Job description
We are looking for an enthusiastic colleague, with an expertise in
scientific computing, specifically applied to physical, chemical or
engineering problems on a micro- to mesoscopic scale, with time
dependent partial differential equations and/or Monte Carlo
methods. You should bring a strong expertise in computational methods,
and be interested to contribute to research on sustainable energy
supply which is now one of the five strategic themes at CWI and a top
sector in Dutch science policy.
You will become member of the Multiscale Dynamics group
<http://www.cwi.nl/research-groups/Multiscale-Dynamics> that presently
mostly focuses on modelling plasmas in thunderstorm related discharges
as well as in high voltage engineering and applied nonequilibrium
plasma physics; some of these topics are relevant to energy
research. You will collaborate with the PhD students and the staff
members on computational issues, and you can either join our plasma
research or develop your own collaborations and application
fields. This will also depend on the funding that you (on your own or
together with colleagues) can find for attracting and supervising PhD
students.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering of ENSTA ParisTech is
inviting applications for a 12-month post-doctoral position in the
domain of computational fluid dynamics.
The successful candidate will participate to a project funded by the
French Government Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) on
"Full-Mach-number-range multiphase computational models for cavitating
flows". The mission of the post-doctoral researcher will be to study
and develop low Mach strategies for a two-phase liquid-vapor flow
numerical model that we have developed in the framework of this
research project.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Applied Mathematics or Fluid Mechanics
or Computational Science, have a strong background in numerical
analysis and computational fluid dynamics, good knowledge of upwind
finite volume schemes for hyperbolic systems, and skills in
programming (Fortran).

Subject: PhD Position, Retinal Hemodynamics, INRIA Paris, France
This research will be conducted under the supervision of Jean-Frederic
Gerbeau at INRIA Paris- Rocquencourt and Université Pierre et Marie
Curie Paris 6, France, and in the framework of a European- funded
four-year Marie Curie Initial Training Network Project REVAMMAD.
Topic: This PhD thesis will address the mathematical modeling and the
numerical simulation of various phenomenon taking place in the
retina. The work will be in particular motivated by the modeling of
diseases like the Retinopathy Of Prematurity (ROP), which is a common
cause of blindness in children, or the Age Related Macular
Degeneration (ARMD), which causes loss of central vision in the ageing
population. A multiscale mathematical model of the hemodynamics will
be proposed. Numerical simulations will be based on the data obtained
from retinal imaging modalities used in the REVAMMAD network. Data
assimilation techniques recently developed at INRIA will be used in
order to adapt the model to measurements. Two questions could be
considered during the project: modeling of the neovascularization
under the action of vascular endothelium growth factor and modeling of
the interaction between neural cells and microcirculation.
Prerequisite: The PhD candidate must have a strong background in
mathematical modeling and numerical methods for partial differential
equations. The numerical method will be based on the finite element
method and the software will be developped in C++.
Eligibility rules: PhD students can be nationals of any country but
must not have resided or carried out their main activity in France for
more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their
recruitment.
Salary: about 2800 euros/month if the PhD candidate is single, about
3150 euros/month if the PhD candidate comes in France with a family.
The official starting of the PhD can be anytime from now to April
2014. It is possible to start working as an intern or as a master
student.
Applications must be sent to Clare Desplats <clare.desplats@gmail.com>
and Jean-Frederic.Gerbeau <jean-frederic.gerbeau@inria.fr>, as soon as
possible and no later than the end of May 2013.
