Subject: Chebfun2 Release, 4th of March
We are pleased to announce the first release of Chebfun2 which will be
available here http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/chebfun/chebfun2 from the 4th
of March at 9am (GMT). Chebfun2 is an extension of Chebfun Version 4.2
to scalar and vector valued functions of two variables defined on
rectangles. This marks an important step for the Chebfun project as it
moves from 1D computations to multi-dimensional functionality. We are
particularly proud of Chebfun2's capabilities for bivariate
rootfinding and vector valued functions.
For an overview of what Chebfun2 can do, take a look at
the collection of Chebfun2 Examples or browse the guide, posted
at http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/chebfun/chebfun2 .

Subject: W2 Professorship Position, Biomedical Computing/Modeling
The Faculty for Mathematics and Computer Science of the Westfälische
Wilhelms-Universität, Muenster, Germany, invites applicants for a
W2-Professorship (f/m) for Biomedical Computing and/or Biomedical
Modeling
at the Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics to be
filled for a period of 5 years.
The open position is for the newly established Cluster of Excellence
”Cells in Motion-CiM” ( http://www.uni-muenster.de/CiMIC) with
interdisciplinary contributions from medicine, physics, mathematics,
computer science, chemistry, pharmacy and biology. The applicant
benefits as a principal investigator from the full infrastructure of
the center.
The participant should be a renown expert in a topical research field
of computational and applied mathematics, for example in mathematical
modeling, numerical simulation or mathematical image processing. It is
expected that the applicant contributes to the extension of the
existing close collaboration between the Institute for Computational
and Applied Mathematics and the life sciences in Münster, particularly
in the context of CiM. Common research interests with the mathematical
research priorities of the Insitute for Compuational and Applied
Mathematics are desirable and it is expected that the candidate
contributes actively in interdisciplinary projects in CiM as well as
in interdisciplinary teaching. Moreover, it is expected that the
applicant participates in the general teaching duties in applied
mathematics.
Prerequisite for the application are academic achievements made as a
Junior professor (assistant professor), by a Habilitation
(postdoctoral qualification), as a member of the academic staff of a
university or non-university research institute, or in a research
position in business, industry, administration or other relevant
fields in Germany or abroad.
We actively encourage applications from suitably qualified
women. Female candidates with equivalent qualifications and academic
achievements will be preferentially considered. We also welcome
applications from candidates with severe disabilities. Disabled
candidates with equivalent qualifications will be preferentially
considered.
Applications with the usual documents (CV, certificates, list of
publications, list of taught lectures and courses, scientific
background, research plan) should be sent electronically in ONE
pdf-file until the March 31, 2013 to mathedek@uni-muenster.de

Subject: Postdoc Position, Comp Sci Eng / Comp Biology
At the Research Center Juelich, we are seeking a highly motivated and
creative postdoc with sound expertise in computational science and
some background in biotechnology. This project is a collaboration
between the Biotechnology Institute (IBG-1) and the Juelich
Supercomputing Center (JSC). The position is available immediately
and offered for 2 years. Juelich is Germany’s largest research center
with more than 5000 employees and hosts Europe’s largest supercomputer
JUQUEEN. The Biotechnology Institute has a long tradition in
industrial biotechnology and, in particular, biochemical network
modeling.
In the project, a multi-scale modeling approach will be applied for
bridging time and length scales between molecular mechanisms and
process outputs. A major task will be to evaluate and couple
simulation codes for Brownian dynamics (BD), cellular automata (CA)
and partial differential equations (PDE). Improving the scalability on
our supercomputers will also be an issue, in order to compute
realistically sized examples. The methods will then be used for
studying the impact of in-vivo diffusion and channeling of
macromolecules, geometry related effects at membrane surfaces and in
micro- channels, and related multi-scale phenomena.
Candidates should have a PhD degree in computational science and
engineering (CSE) or a related field, with sound programming
experience in C/C++. The ideal candidate would also have a decent
publication record, parallel programming skills, and some background
in statistical thermodynamics and/or computational
biology/biotechnology. Applications, containing the candidate's CV
with recent publications, a statement of current and future career
goals, and names of 3 referees should be sent by email to
Dr. Eric von Lieres (e.von.lieres@fz-juelich.de)
