Subject: Watson Sparse Matrix Package, iterative and out-of-core solvers added
Watson Sparse Matrix Package (WSMP) is a collection of algorithms for
efficiently solving large sparse systems of linear equations. The
software can be used in a shared-memory environment with
multithreading, or as a scalable parallel solver in a message-passing
environment, where each process can be either serial or multithreaded.
While WSMP has traditionally been known for its in-core direct
solvers, recent releases of the multithreaded library include an
out-of-core direct solver for symmetric systems, and Krlylov subspace
solvers with robust preconditioning based on incomplete factorization
for both SPD and general sparse systems.

Date: August 08, 2014
Subject: Postdoc Position, Complex Interfacial Flows
Salary £33,410 to £42,380 per annum*
South Kensington Campus
Fixed term appointment for up to 18 months.
Applications are invited by highly talented researchers for an 18
month Research Associate position funded by the EPSRC Grant “Complex
Interfacial Flows with Heat Transfer: Analysis, Direct Numerical
Simulations and Experiments,†under the supervision of Professor
Serafim Kalliadasis.
The project concerns the theoretical investigation of free-surface
thin-film flows in the presence of complexities such as heat transfer
and microstructured substrates. It is in collaboration with the
experimental group of Dr Christos Markides (Chemical Engineering,
Imperial) and the computational group of Dr Berend Van Wachem
(Mechanical Engineering, Imperial).
The successful candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) in
Mathematics, Engineering, Science, or other related area and a strong
foundation on general mathematical modelling and mathematical
techniques (analytical and numerical). A good knowledge of interfacial
fluid mechanics is highly desirable.
You will join a highly interdisciplinary team working on a wide
variety of exciting projects at the interface between applied
mathematics and engineering science fundamentals.
If you would like to discuss the project, please contact Professor
Serafim Kalliadasis at S.Kalliadasis@imperial.ac.uk, Telephone:
+44-(0)-20-7594-1373.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Dynamic Density Functional Theory
Salary £33,410 to £42,380 per annum*
South Kensington Campus
Fixed term appointment until 31 March 2016
Applications are invited by highly talented researchers for an 18
month Research Associate position funded by the ERC Advanced Grant
“Complex Interfacial Flows: From the Nano- to the Macro- Scale†under
the supervision of Professor Serafim Kalliadasis.
The project concerns the theoretical formalism of dynamic density
functional theory of non-uniform fluids. Of particular interest are
liquid-gas interfaces in contact with a solid substrate. The ultimate
aim is the development of a rigorous microscopic approach based on
first principles for the description of such interfaces in classes of
problems in order of increasing complexity.
The successful candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) in Applied
Mathematics, Engineering, Science, or other related area and a strong
foundation on general mathematical modelling, mathematical techniques
(analytical and numerical), thermodynamics and statistical
mechanics. A good knowledge of density functional theory is highly
desirable.
You will join a highly interdisciplinary team working on a wide
variety of exciting projects at the interface between applied
mathematics and engineering science fundamentals.

*Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be
appointed as Research Assistant within the salary range £29,350 -
£32,520 per annum.
