<br />computational problems and pure mathematical questions. We especially
<br />encourage participation of students and early career researchers.
<br />
<br />We would now like to invite you to formally register for this event.

<br />Subject: Singularly Perturbed DEs, Canada, Jul 2016

<br /><br />Registration is now open for a short course and workshop on the
<br />numerical analysis of singularly perturbed differential equations,
<br />organized by the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical
<br />Sciences Collaborative Research Group in Numerical Analysis and
<br />Scientific Computing, from July 25th-29th, 2016 in Halifax, NS,
<br />Canada.
<br />
<br />The meeting will consist of a 2-day short course on Numerical Analysis
<br />of Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations taught by leading
<br />expert Dr.  Niall Madden (National University of Ireland, Galway),
<br />research level talks by experts in the field, and talks by academic
<br />and industrial researchers with applied problems who have an interest
<br />in applying these techniques.  The final part of the workshop will be
<br />interactive, linking the applied researchers with numerical analysis
<br />experts to investigate the process of introducing parameter-robust
<br />techniques to their simulations.
<br />
<br />Confirmed speakers include Andrew Bernoff (Harvey Mudd College),
<br />Adriana Dawes (Ohio State University), Natalia Kopteva (University of
<br />Limerick), Torsten Linß (University of Hagen), and Martin Stynes

<br />Subject: FEM for Eigenvalue Problems, USA, Aug 2016

<br /><br />Aug. 10-14, 2016 Michigan Technological University
<br />http://www.math.mtu.edu/~jiguangs/IMAPIConf/Welcome.html
<br />
<br />Eigenvalue problems arise in many scientific and engineering
<br />applications.  Finite element methods (FEM) have successfully been
<br />applied to eigenvalues of partial differential equations across
<br />disparate fields, due to their ability to handle complex structures
<br />and rigorous underlying theoretical framework.  The program aims to
<br />mix leading researchers and local faculty in computational mathematics
<br />together to infuse graduate students with the fundamentals of finite
<br />element methods and cutting-edge PDE and matrix eigenvalue
<br />problems. The students will be trained to set up and solve classical
<br />PDE eigenvalue problems, to understand convergence theory, and to
<br />grasp modern techniques for large sparse non-Hermitian matrix
<br />eigenvalue problems. The lectures are arranged so that students will
<br />obtain a complete picture of how finite element methods can be used to
<br />solve eigenvalue problems: from the theory to implementation, from
<br />classical results to active research topics.
<br />
<br />Aug. 10: Fundamentals on FEM for Eigenvalue Problems; Laplace
<br />Eigenvalue Problems; Implementation
<br />Dr. Mark Gockenbach, Michigan Technological University
<br />
<br />Aug. 11-12: Large Scale Matrix Eigenvalue Problems, Non-Hermitian
<br />Eigenvalue Solvers, Arnoldi Method
<br />Dr. Rich Lehoucq, Sandia National Laboratories
<br />
<br />Aug. 13-14: Maxwell's Eigenvalue Pproblems; Mixed Finite Element
<br />Methods for Eigenvalue Problems; Advanced Topics for Eigenvalue
<br />Problems

<br />Subject: Faculty Positions, Mathematics, Univ Otago

<br /><br />The department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of
<br />Otago invites applications for two positions in Mathematics. The
<br />appointments are expected to be made at the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer
<br />level. The U.S. equivalent level of appointment is Assistant Professor
<br />(Lecturer) and Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer). We welcome
<br />applications from candidates with research expertise in any area of
<br />Mathematics. Research areas of current Mathematics staff include
<br />algebra, complex analysis, fractional calculus with applications,
<br />functional analysis, graph theory, mathematical biology, mathematical
<br />physics, operator algebra, polar-marine physics, ring theory and
<br />stochastic PDE. Our expectation is that one position will be offered
<br />in pure mathematics and the other in applied mathematics. Otago has
<br />consistently been among the top-ranked research universities in New
<br />Zealand, with Pure and Applied Mathematics research at Otago topping
<br />the most recent national ranking assessment. The University values
<br />research and research-informed teaching, and teaching assignments and
<br />loads are structured accordingly. The University is located in the
<br />vibrant southern city of Dunedin, which is a gateway to the beautiful
<br />Otago region of New Zealand. We encourage academics to establish and
<br />maintain international research connections, and we support this with
<br />generous research/sabbatical and conference leave.
<br />
<br />Candidates for this position should have a PhD in Mathematics or
<br />equivalent, a demonstrated commitment to ongoing mathematical research
<br />with a potential to develop a research program of international
<br />repute, and demonstrated success and/or aptitude in teaching
<br />Mathematics. The successful applicant will be capable of teaching the
<br />full range of our Mathematics courses at the undergraduate level, from
<br />first-year to Honours courses, and will supervise postgraduate
<br />research students. The position is full time and permanent subject to
<br />the satisfactory completion of the confirmation-path objectives for
<br />new appointees.  The confirmation-path process is similar to the
<br />process of gaining tenure but is entirely internal with predetermined
<br />objectives. We welcome international candidates and provide financial
<br />assistance for relocation and visa applications. There is a wealth of
<br />practical information available for migrants considering a move to New
<br />Zealand and Dunedin.
<br />
<br />Specific enquiries about this position may be directed to the Head
<br />of Department Professor Robert Aldred. Applications quoting
<br />reference number 1600643 will close on Friday, 20 May 2016.
