Postdoctoral Position in Mathematical Modeling & Numerical Simulation

Research field - Mathematics
Sub Research Field - Computational mathematics

The SIMUMAT group is seeking to hire postdocs in the general area of Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation. Positions would start on or before October 1, 2006.

SIMUMAT is a newly created research group in Applied Mathematics, funded by the Regional Government of Madrid, and including researchers from several research and higher education institutions.

SIMUMAT seeks a new integrative approach of mathematics and simulation, in order to address fundamental and applied questions in a variety of fields through the integration of mathematical analysis, advanced computing and empirical data. Active research areas include fluid mechanics, aircraft design, geometrical mechanics, control, optimization, complex systems in biology, sociology and economics, and computational mathematics.

The successful candidate will work with one or more members of the SIMUMAT team and function in a multidisciplinary environment, working with mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists. Additional information about the team can be found at http://www.simumat.es

REQUIRED SKILLS

- Extensive experience in mathematical, computational, and theoretical modeling.
- Experience working effectively in a team effort.
- Excellent written skills as demonstrated by publication record.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate and communicate with researchers with diverse scientific backgrounds.
- Familiarity or experience with high-performance computing.
- Good oral presentation skills.
- Due to administrative issues, applications from EU nationals are strongly preferable. Outstanding candidates from other countries can be also considered, but their applications can be delayed for six months in the average (expected delay time to obtain the required work and residence permits.)

EDUCATION

Ph.D. must demonstrate a strong foundation in modeling. Suitable backgrounds include mathematics, physics, and engineering.

SALARY

The net stipend will be around 24.000 Euros per annum, plus medical insurance (social security). A limited budget will also be available for traveling.

The post is within any of the Institutions participating in SIMUMAT (Instituto de matemáticas y Física Fundamental, CSIC, Madrid; Departamento de Matemáticas, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid; Departamento de Matemáticas, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid; Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aerospacial (INTA), Madrid).

Please submit a resume, publications list, a cover letter outlining current research interests and at least 1 letter of recomendation by e-mail to (empleo@madrimasd.org) indicating "SIMUMAT" in the subject.
