<br />Subject: Blaze 2.6 Released

<br /><br />Release 2.6 represents a major step in the history of the Blaze
<br />library.  Within the last four and a half month we have implemented
<br />and brought to perfection several major features that have been on the
<br />wishlist of many Blaze users. Among these features are the
<br />LAPACK-based LU, Cholesky, QR, RQ, QL, and LQ decomposition of dense
<br />matrices as well as the inversion of dense matrices. Along with these
<br />come a large number of LAPACK wrapper functions that considerably
<br />simplify the use of LAPACK.  Furthermore, the introduction of
<br />CustomVector and CustomMatrix now enables custom memory management for
<br />both dense vector and matrices and allows to represent manually
<br />acquired memory as native Blaze data structure.
<br />
<br />Blaze 2.6 is now available for download at
<br />http://bitbucket.org/blaze-lib/blaze

<br /><br />The 118th European Study Group with Industry (ESGI) workshop will be
<br />hosted by the University College Dublin, Ireland, 4-8 July 2016. The
<br />online registration is open on the workshop website:
<br />http://mathsci.ucd.ie/esgi118/
<br />
<br />ESGI are week-long problem-solving workshops, which provide a unique
<br />opportunity for interaction between mathematicians, statisticians,
<br />applied and computational scientists and industry. They bring together
<br />leading scientists from a wide range of backgrounds to work
<br />intensively on real world problems. We expect to be able to
<br />accommodate 4-8 industry problems, which will be tackled by 60-80
<br />academics ranging from PhD students to professors. Originating in
<br />Oxford in 1968, ESGI have since been held several times a year across
<br />Europe.
<br />
<br />The format of the workshop is as follows:
<br />Day 1: Industry representatives present their problems to the
<br />    academics and students.
<br />Days 1 - 4: Academics and students work with industry representatives
<br />    to solve the problems.
<br />Day 5: Academics present their final results.
<br />
<br />Company representatives, academics and students interested in
<br />participating or receiving further information are invited to visit our
<br />ESGI-118 web page: http://mathsci.ucd.ie/esgi118/

<br /><br />The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is accepting
<br />applications for its Participating Institution (PI) Summer Graduate
<br />Student Program. The program, located at one of the PI campuses, will
<br />take place at the University of Kansas on the topic of mathematics and
<br />climate.
<br />
<br />The purpose of this summer program is to introduce graduate students
<br />to interactions between mathematics and climate science and build
<br />toward current research problems. The program will focus on both
<br />models and data and culminates in using data to parameterize models
<br />using data assimilation techniques. The program will last three weeks
<br />with both lectures and project and will have an interdisciplinary
<br />focus.
<br />
<br />The program is primarily for graduate students of IMA PIs, but there
<br />is some funding available for graduate students of non-PIs.
<br />
<br />More information and the online application are available at

<br />Subject: Computational Mathematics and Inverse Problems, USA, Aug 2016

<br /><br />The International Conference on Computational Mathematics and Inverse
<br />Problems intends to bring leading researchers to discuss the recent
<br />developments on numerical analysis, scientific computing, and inverse
<br />problems. The topics of the conference include, but not limited to,
<br />finite element methods for eigenvalue problems, finite element methods
<br />for Maxwell's equation, computational inverse problems, inverse
<br />scattering problems.
<br />
<br />The conference is dedicated to Prof. Peter Monk, who received the B.A.
<br />degree from Cambridge University, U.K., in 1978 and the Ph.D. degree
<br />from Rutgers University, USA in 1983. Since 1982 he has been on the
<br />faculty of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University
<br />of Delaware in the USA. He was appointed Unidel Professor in 2000.
<br />His research interests include applications of finite element methods
<br />for Maxwell's equations and inverse electromagnetic scattering. He is
<br />the author of roughly 130 papers and a book on "Finite Element
<br />Methods for Maxwell's Equations".
<br />
<br />The conference will be held Aug. 15-19, 2016 at Michigan Technological
<br />University. The university is located in Houghton, Michigan, on the
<br />Keweenaw Peninsula, which has a history as rich as its native copper
<br />deposit, the largest in the world. Houghton's summer climate tends to
<br />be especially pleasant, as hot temperatures are often moderated by the
<br />cool waters of the nearby Lake Superior.

<br />
<br />http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AMW646/experimental-officer-scientific-programmer/
<br />
<br />The primary aim for the successful candidate is to translate research
<br />quality codes into working prototypes suitable for use by end-users in
<br />healthcare (e.g. GPs, Clinicians and industry). In this regard, there
<br />is the need to communicate with both technical researchers and
<br />non-technical end-users, and to develop back-end HPC codes, as well as
<br />user-centric front-end GUIs. The successful applicant will have
<br />significant opportunities to identify the precise areas for
<br />exploration and development as the role evolves, with initial projects
<br />focussing on the development of a prototype decision support tool for
<br />use by neurologists seeking to diagnose epilepsy, and the design of a
<br />dynamic infusion pump, where hormone secretion is determined by the
<br />output of a mathematical model. The successful applicant will be
<br />expected to work both independently and with other members of the
<br />Centre, under the guidance of Professors John Terry and Peter
<br />Challenor. The role is available from 01 July 2016 until 31 December
<br />2019 in the first instance.

<br />Postdoctoral Research Associate in Optimisation
<br />Grade 7: Salary £30,738 - £37,768 p.a.
<br />
<br />We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate, funded
<br />by Emirates under the agreement for the Oxford-Emirates Data Science
<br />Lab, to work with Professors Raphael Hauser, Coralia Cartis and Jared
<br />Tanner at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford.  This is a
<br />three-year fixed term position and is available from 11th March 2016
<br />(or as soon as possible thereafter).
<br />
<br />The appointee will spend approximately 50% of their time working on
<br />Emirates-focused revenue management research, while the remaining 50%
<br />will be spent on personal research in collaboration with the above
<br />named faculty members. There is also a requirement to teach up to four
<br />sets of undergraduate or graduate classes per year, determined by the
<br />demand for classes in specific areas. The Emirates driven part of the
<br />research will focus on time-dependent seat pricing problems initially,
<br />and more general inference, forecasting, and optimisation challenges
<br />relevant to the commercial aviation sector.  The remaining 50% of the
<br />appointee's time will be focused on collaborative research within the
<br />Numerical Analysis Group of the Oxford Mathematical Institute, where
<br />the post is based. While there is some flexibility in the choice of
<br />research topic, it is expected that it aligns with the research
<br />interests of Professors Hauser, Cartis and Tanner, in particular on
<br />optimisation methods for big data problems. The focus will be on the
<br />theoretical analysis and computational implementation of algorithms
<br />rather than on the design of heuristics. Applicants should have a PhD
<br />in mathematics, operations research, statistics or a related area,
<br />awarded or submitted at the time of taking up the position, a strong
<br />record in research and publications commensurate with their career
<br />stage, as well as an excellent background in more than one area
<br />relevant to the project focus. Please direct informal enquiries to
<br />cartis, hauser, tanner@maths.ox.ac.uk . Applicants should read the job
<br />description before writing their application.  You will be required to
<br />upload a letter setting out how you meet the selection criteria, a
<br />curriculum vitae including full list of publications, a statement of
<br />research interests and the contact details of two referees as part of
<br />your online application.  (NOTE: Applicants are responsible for
<br />contacting their referees and making sure that their letters are
