Subject: Mathematical Poetry

It's been a while since I've written a mathematical poem, but NA
Digest readers might enjoy my latest one.  It's entitled
sum((0:10).^2)\11 : a Zero-based Least Squares Solution in 11 Fits:
a romantic-mathematical poem, wherein the kth Fit consists of k
vectors, each of length k.  In each Fit, vectors 1:k-1 rhyme with
k, and the final kth vector is terminated in k.

(IWASEP X) Dubrovnik, Croatia, June 2 - 5, 2014

Abstract Deadline: April 1, 2014.
Registration Deadline: April 1, 2014.

The original themes of this workshop arose in the intersection of two
fields, matrix eigenvalue/singular value computation, and, more
generally, fast and accurate matrix computation. Meanwhile, the scope
has expanded, and the organizers encourage submissions for
presentations or posters that relate to either of these two themes,
including large scale and nonlinear eigenvalue problems.  A prize will
be given for the best poster.

This is the tenth such workshop, whose purpose is to bring together
experts for four days of research presentations and discussions. This
workshop will be held in the Center for Advanced Academic Studies in
Dubrovnik.

Collaborative Workshop, organized by the Atlantic Association for
Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) Collaborative Research
Group in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, Aug. 17, 2014 -
Aug. 22, 2014, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's,
Newfoundland, Canada.

The aim of this workshop is to provide an introduction to the state of
the art in theory and practical applications of adaptivity in
PDEs. The program will begin with a two-day short course, "Adaptive
Methods for the Numerical Solution of PDEs", given by Dr.  Weizhang
Huang (University of Kansas). The middle component of the program will
focus on presentations by researchers whose work may benefit from the
use of adaptive techniques for PDEs arising as mathematical models in
practical applications. The final segment of the program will feature
a workshop format in which breakout teams, consisting of graduate
students and postdoctoral fellows led by experts on theoretical or
computational aspects of adaptive methods for PDEs, will investigate
the process of introducing adaptive techniques into the numerical
simulations that arise in the applications identified earlier.  The
segment will also include several talks by researchers working in
adaptivity for PDEs.

The organizers invite participation by researchers in adaptivity for
PDEs, researchers working in applied PDEs whose work may benefit from
the use of adaptive methods for PDEs, and associated graduate students
and post docs. The program will have room for 5 - 8 talks by
researchers in application domains. For researchers in adaptive
methods for PDEs, the primary form of participation will be through
the collaborative workshop teams but there will also be room for a
limited number of talks.

Registration will be required. Some funding for graduate students will
be available.  Further details will be available at

Subject: Research Associate Position, SimLab Highly Scalable Fluids & Solids Eng

In the "Simulation Laboratory (SimLab) Highly Scalable Fluids & Solids
Engineering", software tools have to be developed which ensure an
efficient use of such computers for highly parallel engineering
applications. The SimLab aims at supporting users of the engineering
sciences who have already developed parallel codes which, however, do
not scale to thousands of cores, yet. Examples are finite-volume,
finite-element, and finite-difference methods which are based on block
structured body fitted meshes and/or unstructured grids. These methods
developed at RWTH Aachen University are used to investigate problems
in aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, aeroelasticity, and combustion.

We are looking for employees with knowledge of codes for fluid and/or
structure simulation who are also familiar with the required software
engineering approaches for highly parallel computing. These comprise
e.g. knowledge of hybrid shared-memory/distributed-memory programming
in C++ and Fortran 90, know-how of effective communication paradigms,
and experience with program analysis tools such as Vampir or Scalasca.

We expect applicants to have a degree in engineering sciences,
computer sciences, or applied mathematics. The successful candidate
has the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree. The position is for a
fixed term of 2 years with a salary according to TVL/E-13.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Comp Modelling, Univ of Nottingham

Applications are invited for the above post to work with Dr Matthew
Hubbard on an EPSRC-funded project entitled “Improving Patient Outcome
by Integrating the Generic with the Personal”. The successful
applicant will also collaborate closely with academic partners on the
project at Cranfield University, Imperial College London, Queen's
University Belfast and the University of Stirling.

Cancer is one of the top two healthcare challenges and, increasingly,
the emphasis in cancer care is on treatment by combinations of
surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, no tools yet exist
for the planning and timing of combination therapies in a manner
analogous to clinical radiotherapy planning.  Computational and
mathematical modelling techniques are becoming well-established for
investigating individual components of cancer care, e.g. drug
delivery, radiation, tumour response, and the overall aim of this
multidisciplinary project is to develop a multiscale, mathematical and
computational, framework for predicting the effect of combination
therapy. The position will be based in the Scientific Computation
Group, which Dr Hubbard will shortly be joining, and the successful
applicant will develop fast, accurate and robust computational
algorithms for the simulation of drug delivery and tumour response to
therapeutic strategies. The underlying mathematical models will be
developed in collaboration with the other project sites, and
underpinned by bespoke experimental assays carried out at Imperial
College London.

This full-time position is available from 1 January 2014 and will be
offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 36 months.
