Subject: Global Optimization Workshop (GOW12), Brazil, Jun 2012
Global Optimization Workshop 2012 (GOW12)
Natal, Brazil, 26-29th June, 2012.
Global Optimization (GO) is a discipline aimed at finding global
optima for hard nonconvex optimization problems. The workshop will
bring together researchers dealing with this topic. We shall have at
most two parallel streams. Accordingly, only a limited number of
contributions will be accepted. A special issue of the Journal Of
Global Optimization will contain (fully refereed) papers derived from
works presented at the workshop.
GOW12 will take place in Natal, northeast of Brazil. The =93City of the
Sun=94, as it is well-known, has a typical tropical climate, around
29=B0C, with the sun shining almost all the year. Bordered by the
Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by dunes, Natal has the perfect
combination of beautiful beaches, warm waters, lush nature and a
welcoming people, receiving more than two million Brazilian and
foreign tourists every year.
Submit a 4-page extended abstract formatted using the LaTeX style

Subject: PhD Position, Seminar for Applied Mathematics, ETH Zurich
The Seminar for Applied Mathematics at ETH Zurich is currently
offering a full time PhD position.
The successful candidate will work on the development, implementation
and theoretical analysis of novel numerical discretization methods for
parametric linear transport equations equations, a class of hyperbolic
PDEs stated on a 5-7 dimensional phase space. Their scope of
applicability ranges from nuclear physics to heat transfer, climate
modeling, geodesy and biology. Due to the high dimensionality, as well
as for other reasons, their efficient numerical solution is extremely
challenging.
The successful candidate will receive a competitive salary according
to the standards of ETH Zurich as well as the opportunity to work in a
stimulating environment at the Seminar for Applied Mathematics. The
project is embedded in international activities and international
collaborations are possible and encouraged. The projected duration
will be approximately 3 years. The position is financed by the funds
allocated to the group of Dr. Philipp Grohs, Assistant Professor at
ETH Zurich, starting in October 2011.
Willingness to participate in teaching is expected. Prerequisites are
a familiarity with (or willingness to learn) FE- and wavelet methods
for PDEs and Applied Harmonic Analysis, as well as proficiency with
MATLAB and C++. Formally required are a MSc degree in Applied
Mathematics (or similar degree) and the eligibility to work in
Switzerland.
Please submit your CV, together with a motivation letter, a
description of research interests and letter(s) of recommendation
electronically to pgrohs@math.ethz.ch.

multiscale domain decomposition algorithms, and will be a part of a
joint collaboration between the Uni-Research (University of Bergen -
UiB) and Bergen University College, funded by the Research Council of
Norway.
The successful candidate should have a strong background in and
interests for computational and applied mathematics with particular
interests in the numerical solution of partial differential
equations. He or she will work closely with the research group in
Bergen (UiB and HiB), investigating new multiscale algorithms in the
framework of domain decomposition, and is expected to interact with
leading research groups internationally.

Subject: PhD Position, Data Assimilation, Univ of Reading
A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mathematics and
Statistics, University of Reading, U.K. to work on the project
"Understanding the sensitivity of the variational data assimilation
problem".
Variational data assimilation is a method for combining numerical
models of a dynamical system with observed measurements in order to
ensure that the system trajectory remains close to reality. It is a
highly ill-posed optimization problem that is difficult to solve
computationally, especially for the very large chaotic systems that
arise in practice. Recently we have made advances in understanding
and improving the sensitivity of the problem to perturbations in the
system, leading to more rapid and accurate solution procedures. Data
assimilation systems are now being extended to allow for the fact that
numerical models are not an exact representation of reality, in what
is known as weak constraint assimilation. In this project you will
analyse the sensitivity of the weak constraint optimization problem
and use this knowledge to propose new mathematical techniques for
solving the problem for large systems.
Candidates should have a good honours degree in a subject with strong
mathematical content. Further details are available from Dr Amos
Lawless (a.s.lawless@reading.ac.uk) or Prof Nancy Nichols
(n.k.nichols@reading.ac.uk).
For an application form please contact
Mrs S. Davis, Department of Mathematics and Statistics,
The University of Reading, PO Box 220, Reading, RG6 6AX.
Tel 0118 931 8991, email: s.davis@reading.ac.uk
This award is available to UK and EU students only (tuition fees only
for EU applicants). Full eligibility rules are available at
