Open positions: 3 postdoctoral positions
and 2 PhD scholarships
Centre of Mathematics for Applications (CMA) was on March 1, 2003,
funded as a 'Centre of Excellence' by the Research Council of Norway.
CMA is one of three such centres at the University of Oslo.
The departments of Informatics, Mathematics, Physics and the Institute
of Theoretical Astrophysics are involved, with collaboration from
SINTEF Applied Mathematics. There are also participants (centre
members) from the universities in Bergen and Trondheim. Read more
about CMA here.
We hereby invite applications
for 3 postdoc positions and 2 PhD scholarships
- All positions are available from July 1, 2009, but start
dates may be delayed if necessary.
- Applications with all necessary enclosures must be received
by May 29, 2009
- The postdoctoral position will be granted for a period of 2
years with a possible extension of one more year.
- The PhD scholarships will be granted for a period of 3 years.
The main vision of CMA is to create a national research centre
in mathematics where top class scientists from different areas can
work together with a joint perspective and common goals. The main
focus is on mathematics motivated from applications, with emphasis
on problems arising from modern scientific computing. The activity
in the centre is built upon 4 different research areas: geometry,
stochastic analysis, differential equations and applications in
the physical sciences (mainly within astrophysics and computational
quantum mechanics). The centre specifically focuses on research
activities on the boundaries and intersections of these areas.
Special requirements for the postdoctoral positions
For 2 of the positions applicants will be evaluated and ranked with respect to the full research plan of the centre. Whoever is employed must demonstrate their scientific competence within mathematics or a related applied area. Preference will be given to applicants with experience of computational problems within the relevant areas, or with experience in problems that combine aspects from two or more of the areas.
The full research plan can be found here
The third position is dedicated to a specific project funded by the Research Council of Norway. The intention is that the person hired for this position will work on further development of numerical methods for Maxwell's equations, in particular with inverse problems for such models. Here we seek a candidate with a broad background on implementation of numerical methods for partial differential equations.
For all positions, applications must include complete information about education, former positions, teaching and administrative experience (documented), and a list of publications. Applicants must hold a PhD or at least have submitted their PhD thesis. Women are especially encouraged to apply.
Special requirements for the PhD positions
For these positions, applicants
will be evaluated and ranked with respect to the research plan of
the centre. Whoever is employed must demonstrate their scientific
competence within mathematics or a related applied area. Preference
will be given to applicants with experience of computational problems
within the relevant areas, or with experience in problems that combine
aspects from two or more of the areas.
The full research plan can be found here
Applications must include complete information about education at both bachelor and master level, and documented scientific experience. All employees must satisfy the entrance requirements for the doctoral degree programme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Women are especially encouraged to apply.
