Subject: Short Courses on MATLAB Math
MATLAB Math Short Courses
We will be offering a series of one- and two-day short courses on
mathematically related MATLAB topics during the week of August 16-20.
The courses will be held at the MathWorks headquarters in Natick,
a few miles west of Boston, Massachusetts. On Monday, Aug. 16, my
colleague Bill Mueller will offer an "Advanced MATLAB" course.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 17 and 18, Mueller will offer one-day
versions of the Optimization and Statistics courses. On Thursday and
Friday, Aug. 19 and 20, I will be teaching a two-day course on
"Numerical Computing with MATLAB", based on my new MathWorks/SIAM book
with the same title.
For more information on these courses, and other short courses at other
locations, see: http://www.mathworks.com/services/training/schedule.html.

Numerical Analysis Computing Position at GlaxoSmithKline
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is a world leading research-based pharmaceutical
company with an opportunity available in our Upper Merion, PA facility
with the Scientific Computing and Mathematical Modeling group. This group
is responsible for solving difficult scientific problems mostly through
mathematical modeling approaches. This position will be responsible for
providing numerical analysis and scientific computing support for the
development of numerical mathematical models of physical and biological
systems for the purposes of advancing drug discovery and development
efforts. This will involve understanding the analytical and numerical
complexities of the model, the quality of the data available (e.g. noise
pattern, incompleteness, non-uniformity of sampling, etc.), the needs of
the modeling team involved, and formulating a robust numerical
computational approach. Those ideas will then be translated into
scalable, robust code. This role will require the ability to work with a
wide variety of different numerical analysis approaches. A secondary goal
of the position is provide the group with numerical analysis and
scientific computing expertise and the continuous introduction of newer,
better, more sophisticated approaches as they are developed.
The position requires experience and expertise in numerical analysis and
scientific computing and an excellent grounding in several of the
following: optimization, differential equations, function approximation,
dynamical systems, fractals and stochastic processes, modeling, and other
modern computational techniques. A good general physical or life sciences
or engineering experience (e.g. biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry,
electrical engineering, etc.) is a plus. An advanced degree (Ph.D.) as
well as strong, documented experience in the above credentials is
necessary. GlaxoSmithKline offers a competitive benefits and compensation

Subject: PhD Studentship at University of British Columbia
The Advanced Numerical Simulation Laboratory at the University of
British Columbia has an opening for a PhD student, effective as soon as
January 2005. The research project is in the area of high-order
accurate finite-volume methods, especially the relationship between
geometric mesh quality and solution accuracy. The goal of the project
is to determine what geometric mesh properties optimize solution
accuracy and develop mesh adaptation schemes to produce such meshes.
The ideal student for this position will have strong applied math
skills, good background in at least one potential physical application
area (such as fluid or solid mechanics, CEM, etc), and good programming
skills. Financial support is available.
The Advanced Numerical Simulation Laboratory is dedicated to the
development of algorithms and software tools for scientific computing,
with an emphasis on lowering the entry barrier for applications
scientists and engineers with little or no numerical analysis
background. Tools currently under development include an unstructured
mesh generation suite and a generic finite volume solver.
