Summer Program for Graduate Students and Post-docs.
Modern Applied Mathematics for the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
(MAMAOS)
July 14 - August 2, 2003
http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/mamaos2003/
MAMAOS is a three week summer-school designed to train graduate students
in the application of modern applied mathematics to important problems
in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences. The school will focus on three
themes at the interface between the disciplines: numerics, asymptotics
and stochastics, with one theme being covered per week of school. Each
week's theme will be presented by teams of five distinguished lecturers
drawn from leading institutions of atmospheric/oceanic sciences and
applied mathematics.
Summer Program for Undergraduates
IPAM Research in Industrial Projects for Students ("RIPS")-2003
June 22 - August 22, 2003
http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/rips2003/
The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics is sponsoring the 3rd
year of a special program, Research in Industrial Projects for Students
(RIPS), based on the successful Math Clinic concept that originated at
Harvey Mudd College in 1973 as well as the well established Research
Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program sponsored by the National
Science Foundation. In the RIPS program, teams of students, directed by
faculty advisors, work to solve industry-related problems. RIPS brings
together highly qualified undergraduates in mathematics or related
majors with sponsoring industry, government, and nonprofit organizations
to collaborate on projects. Each team of three to four advanced students
spends two summer months working on a problem posed by the sponsoring
organization under the leadership of a faculty advisor. At regular
intervals during the two-month period, oral and written presentations
reporting on the progress of the team are made. Company liaisons provide
regular contact between the team and the sponsor, monitoring and helping
to guide the work effort. Projects focus on problems of serious interest
to the sponsor and stimulating challenges to the students. Participation
in RIPS provides valuable real-world technical and managerial experience
for students and valuable R&D for the sponsor.
Please bring these programs to the attention of any students who may be
interested in participating.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Computational Scientist Postdoctoral Fellow
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a highly qualified
postdoctoral researcher to participate in a new project whose goal is to
develop optimal discrete models for simulating infinite-dimensional
Hamiltonian systems. The research will involve the development of
time-domain and eigenmode algorithms and solvers for these models. This
work is motivated in part by the great success of symplectic methods for
modeling for classical finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems; such
methods have become indispensable for studying long-term behavior
including the dynamics of charged particles in beams and plasmas, the
dynamics of stars in gravitational systems, and the dynamics of atoms
and molecules in materials. Under this project new methods will be
developed that can be applied to infinite-dimensional systems governed
by partial differential equations such as Maxwell's equations, the
Schrodinger equation, and the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The
ability to develop discrete models for classical and quantum dynamical
systems, and to solve these models with high accuracy and efficiency,
will help the Laboratory respond to the programmatic needs of the DOE
Office of Science, the National Science Foundation, and other federal
offices. This research will benefit from LBNL's existing core
competencies in mathematical modeling and advanced computing. This
position will have a joint appointment in the Accelerator and Fusion
Research Division (AFRD) and the Computational Research Division (CRD).
The qualifications for the position follow: Essential - Ph.D. or
equivalent experience in a discipline of the physical, mathematical, or
computational sciences. Substantial experience in developing algorithms
and computer models to simulate infinite-dimensional dynamical systems.
Demonstrated capability to collaborate with other researchers, including
physical scientists, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians.
Good oral and written communication skills. Marginal - Experience
developing and implementing software for large-scale simulations on
parallel computers.
Please note: This position is a 2-year appointment with the possibility
for renewal. Please submit via email (our preferred method) a
curriculum vitae, publication list, and at least three references to
afnsemployment@lbl.gov. Please reference job# AF/015413/JNAD.
