Subject: Constrained Global Optimization Survey
I just completed an extensive survey on constrained global
optimization...
A. Neumaier,
Complete Search in Continuous Global Optimization and Constraint Satisfaction
http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/papers.html#glopt03
This survey covers the state of the art of techniques for solving
general purpose constrained global optimization problems and
continuous constraint satisfaction problems, with emphasis on
complete techniques that provably find all solutions (if there are
finitely many and rounding errors are ignored).
The core of the material is presented in sufficient detail that
the survey may serve as a text for teaching constrained global
optimization.
The survey will be published as part of
Acta Numerica 2004 (A. Iserles, ed.)
Cambridge University Press 2004.

IMA POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS provide an excellent opportunity for
mathematical scientists near the beginning of their career who have a
background in or an interest in learning about materials science and
its mathematical underpinnings. IMA postdoctoral fellowships run one
to two years, at the option of the holder, starting September 1, 2004.
In the second year of the appointment there are a variety of options to
enhance career development, including participation in the 2005-2006
academic year program on "Imaging", teaching, and working on an
industrial project. Postdoctoral members receive a salary of $45,000
annually, and a travel allowance. Documentation of completion of all
requirements for a doctoral degree in mathematics or a related area is
required by the start of the appointment and within the last three
years. (deadline January 15, 2004)
IMA INDUSTRIAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS are designed to prepare
mathematicians for research careers in industry or involving industrial
interaction. IMA industrial postdoctoral fellowships run two years
starting September 1, 2004. They are funded jointly by the IMA and an
industrial sponsor, and holders devote 50% effort to their own research
and the IMA program and 50% effort working with industrial scientists.
Industrial postdoctoral members receive a salary of $45,000 annually,
and a travel allowance. Documentation of completion of all requirements
for a doctoral degree in mathematics or a related area is required by
the start of the appointment and within the last three years.

Subject: Faculty Position at MIT
Faculty Position in Computational Engineering
MIT's School of Engineering has created a new junior tenure-track
faculty position in the general area of Computational Engineering.
The individual will reside in one of three engineering departments
(Aeronautics & Astronautics, Electrical Engineering & Computer
Science, or Mechanical Engineering). Applicants should have a
doctoral degree in a field such as engineering, computational
mathematics, or computer science, and research interests relevant to
one of the above departments.
Computational Engineering is being interpreted broadly, including
computation (theory and/or practice) associated with modeling,
simulation, design, optimization, control, and visualization of
engineering systems. It includes modeling and simulation of physical
phenomena and product behavior (Engineering Science); and modeling
and design of complex systems to achieve maximum operational
performance (Systems Optimization). The holder of this position
should be able to teach graduate level subjects in his or her field
of expertise and undergraduate subjects within his or her home
department, and will be expected to engage in multidisciplinary
research. This new faculty position, available September, 2004, is
designed to make a long-term investment in the important field of
Computational Engineering. We actively seek qualified minority and
women candidates because of our strong commitment to diversity in
engineering education, research, and practice.
Applications must include two copies of the following: a cover
letter, a statement of interest of at least two pages and a c.v. with
the names, addresses, and email addresses of three individuals who
will provide letters of recommendation. Send by December 1, 2003 to:
Chair, Computational Engineering Search Committee, School of
Engineering, Room 1-211, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA
02139-4307; or by electronic mail to cefs@mit.edu (PDF or plain

Subject: Assistant Program Officer Position at NSF
Dear Colleagues,
The Division of Mathematical Sciences at NSF is recruiting for a high level
staff position to assist the Division management and the scientific program
officers. Please circulate this announcement to potentially interested
individuals.
This is an opportunity for someone interested in scientific policy and the
management and funding of the scientific enterprise. One of the main duties
of the position would be in the production of reports and studies that drive
our funding decisions. Another would be to form a liaison with mathematical
scientists to help explain our current portfolio and how members of the
community can best benefit from it. The position would provide an
opportunity to work in the highly integrated environment of the foundation
and to gain a working knowledge of some of the practices and ideas driving
other scientific disciplines.
Excellent people skills and an ability to work with data in a programming
environment are essential.
A Ph.D. in Mathematics or Statistics would be ideal, but we would consider
an application from a candidate with a masters degree and additional
experience or a candidate with a higher degree in a mathematics-related
discipline.
The position is permanent and the starting point of the salary scale
($48,451 to $89,774) is commensurate with experience. Thus, for example, a
postdoc with some experience past the doctoral degree could benefit from
this flexibility.
