Subject: Workshop in Eindhoven on Complexity at the Molecular Level
Expressions of interest are now invited for the NETIAM workshop "Complexity
at the Molecular Level" being held in Eindhoven, Netherlands on 2nd & 3rd
December 2004.
This workshop will identify new and emerging areas in which
multidisciplinary approaches can provide understanding of the behaviour of
materials based on modelling at a molecular scale. Crystalline solids are
quite well understood at the atomistic level and there is much
well-developed molecular modelling of polymers, but the complexity of
proteins, and of interfaces, at the molecular level both present current
challenges.
Further details are available at
http://www.smithinst.ac.uk/Events/Eindhoven, including a registration page,
or you can email the organisers, Prof Bob Mattheij (r.m.m.mattheij@TUE.nl)
and Dr David Allwright (david@smithinst.co.uk) to express interest in
participating. Please include a short summary of your research interests and
related publications. This event is free to attend.
NETIAM (New and Emerging Themes in Industrial and Applied Mathematics) is a
series of workshops supported by the NEST (New and Emerging Science and
Technology) initiative of the European Commission's Framework Programme 6.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at CERMICS, ENPC, France
Applications are invited for a one-year postdoctoral position at the
CERMICS Laboratory of the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees near
Paris (http://cermics.enpc.fr) in the field of Numerical Hydraulics.
The position is offered in partnership with the French Technical Center
for River and Maritime Studies (CETMEF) which aims, among others, at
developping simulation tools to better understand and eventually predict
flood propagation, river flow dynamics and wave phenomena in harbours
and along coasts. The numerical modelling of such phenomena poses
serious difficulties related to spatial heterogeneities, wave
propagation and free boundary tracking. The goal of the postdoctoral
research is to investigate Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) space finite
element techniques with time-marching schemes to tackle wave propagation
problems relevant to hydraulics. Mathematical analysis and numerical
simulation are expected.
The candidate should have, or be about to receive, a PhD in the field of
applied mathematics with a background in finite element or finite
volume methods and a relevant experience in computer programming. Some
background in hydraulics or fluid mechanics is an important asset.
Working language can be French or English.
The position will be for twelve months starting in January 2005. The
postdoctoral fellowship is approximately 1800 euros/month net and
includes basic health insurance. The candidate will be hosted by the
Fluid Mechanics group (cermics.enpc.fr/equipes/mecflu.html) and will
interact with the Caiman project
(http://www.inria.fr/recherche/equipes/caiman.fr.html).
Candidates should submit by e-mail (pdf format preferred) or by post:
(i) a cover letter in support of the application, (ii) a curriculum
vitae with a list of publications, (iii) at least one publication, (iv)
the name and address of at least two references.
The material should be sent by November 30, 2004 to Prof. Alexandre Ern,
ern@cermics.enpc.fr. [Postal address: A. Ern, CERMICS, ENPC, 6 et 8,
