Therefore, the organizers intend to bring together researches including Ph.D. students to open up the opportunity to present and discuss their current and upcoming results on noncommutative algebras, may it be an analytic or numerical result, or an application to other fields. But we will not exclude such commutative R^4 - structures like tessarines, Segre's bicomplex numbers and split-complex numbers as well as corresponding structures in higher dimensions (e.g. Cayley-Dickson algebras). Topics on noncommutative algebras: 1. Linear algebra topics 2. Analytic topics 3. Applications to other fields than mathematics More details and a possibility for registration can be found in http://ncaa.vscht.cz/ The deadline for registration is April 15, 2015. However an information whether one considers participation would be welcome by February 15, 2015. The conference will take place in the Haus am Steinberg in Goslar, in the North of the Harz Mountains. http://www.lernen-im-gruenen.de/bildungszentren/standorte/haus-am-steinberg.html For questions, please, contact one of the organizers. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Marc Alexander Schweitzer [log in to unmask] Date: January 02, 2015 Subject: Professor Position, Numerical Analysis The Institute for Numerical Simulation of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Bonn invites applications for a tenured position of W2-Professorship in Numerical Analysis with focus to the numerical solution of partial differential equations starting in the winter term 2015/2016. Participation in the Cluster of Excellence (Hausdorff Center for Mathematics) is offered and ex-pected. Formal requirements are regulated by § 36 HG (NRW). The University of Bonn is an equal opportunities employer. Preference will be given to suitably qualified women or handicapped people, all other considerations being equal. Applicants for the academic position are expected to send a CV in-cluding teaching experience, research interests and a list of publica-tions. The deadline for applications is January 31, 2015.

This is a non-tenure-track, benefits-eligible, year-to-year appointment, renewable annually for up to three academic years contingent upon satisfactory performance, availability of resources, and the needs of the unit. Applicants are required to have a Ph.D. or equivalent by the time of appointment in the mathematical sciences, engineering, or a closely related field; and the potential for excellent teaching and research. Desired qualifications include knowledge of radar technologies, such as synthetic aperture radar; and a solid background in signal processing, in particular Fourier Analysis. Knowledge of frames, regularization techniques, and numerical analysis is also desirable. Teaching load is at the discretion of the director, but is typically two courses per year. Applications must be submitted online through mathjobs at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/6901 and must include the following: 1) A cover letter 2) A curriculum vitae 3) A personal statement addressing the candidate’s research program 4) A statement of teaching experience and philosophy 5) At least three letters of recommendation that must be submitted at the mathjobs site, including one that addresses teaching. Initial review of applications will begin on February 6th, 2015; if not filled, every week thereafter until the search is closed. A background check is required for employment. Arizona State University is a VEVRAA Federal Contractor and an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other basis protected by law. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Heiko Gimperlein [log in to unmask] Date: January 02, 2015 Subject: PhD Position, NA or Civil Engineering, Heriot-Watt The Department of Mathematics and the Institute for Infrastructure and the Environment at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, are looking for a highly skilled Ph.D. candidate for a fully funded, prestigious IIE scholarship at the interface of numerical analysis and computational engineering. The proposed project will investigate generalized space-time and spectral stochastic finite element methods for the wave equation in the presence of uncertainties, such as an unknown wave speed. Engineering applications include the environmental impact of ground vibrations caused by high-speed trains or vibration-based subsurface imaging to detect oil reservoirs. Depending on interests of the applicant, the emphasis could be either on the numerical analysis of finite element methods, computational aspects or on applications. To be eligible, applicants should have a first-class honours degree in a relevant subject or a 2.1 honours degree plus Masters (or equivalent). Scholarships will be awarded by competitive merit.
