Subject: Seeking Solvers for Heat Equation with Moving Boundaries
I appreciate any references to public or commercial solvers
for nonlinear heat equation with moving interior boundaries
(as in phase-shift interfaces) in 2 and 3D.
Does anyone have any experience with using MATLAB pdetool
with problems which contain moving boundaries?

Subject: Hankel Transform
I'm searching for software routines in C or C++ that perform the
Hankel Integral tranform.
The Hankel transform, a Fourier transform for a Bessel function
expansion, represents a limiting case of a Fourier-Bessel series. It
occurs in potential problems in cylindrical coordinates.
In converting the Fourier Transform from cartesian coords. to
cylindircal we end up with a Hankel transform. I'm wanting to perform
the Hankel and inverse Hankel operations.
Does anyone know where I can get a software routine or any related
material that will help me out?

Subject: Research Position at University of Amsterdam
University of Amsterdam
Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Astronomy (WINS)
Within the framework of the Computational Science Center Amsterdam,
the Korteweg-de Vries Institute (the research institute of the mathematics
department at the faculty WINS) has a vacancy for a four-year PhD research
project in `Scientific Computing' - more especially in multi-grid methods
for numerical fluid problems;
see "http://www.beta.uva.nl/beta/institutes/csa/english/vacancies/"
under CSA 3, or "http://turing.wins.uva.nl/~thk/links/aioen.html" .
The `Scientific Computing' group is conducting theoretical research on
numerical methods and produces their practical implementations on modern
computers.
The present research concerns numerical methods for fluid flow with boundary
layers in complex geometries. In particular the use of special grids
(sparse and/or adaptive grids etc.) and multilevel methods are studied
for the Navier-Stokes equations.
The research is done in part in cooperation with research groups at CWI, MARIN
and the Delft University of Technology, and it is meant to result in a PhD
thesis.

in numerical analysis. Candidates with a master's degree in mathematics,
physics or technical sciences with a strong interest in numerical and
computational methods will be given equal consideration.
Willingness to participate actively in teaching.
CONDITIONS:
Appointment as a PhD student for a maximum of four years. The salary
ranges from Dfl.2,151 in the first year to Dfl.3,841 in the fourth year.

Subject: Five-year Fellowships at the University of Durham
I would like to encourage young numerical analysts to apply for the
Fellowships advertised below. Do not be discouraged by the phrase
``will probably be working in the Life Sciences.'' In the past
Fellowships have been awarded to people working in other areas,
including Mathematics. The University is keen to appoint very able people,
whatever their speciality, and it would not be too difficult to argue that
numerical analysis can ``enable man to make better use of his life here on
earth.''=20
Please note that the closing date for applications is June 5th.
John Coleman.
Addison Wheeler Fellowship
Two Addison Wheeler Fellowships are available for up to five years from 1
October 1998. The Fellowships, which are open to young men and women of
outstanding promise, were established to encourage "efforts for increased
knowledge of Man and his physical make-up so as to enable him to make better
use of his life here on earth". Successful candidates will probably be
working in the Life Sciences, but applicants from other fields who feel that
their research meets the aims of the Wheeler Fellowship are encouraged. In
certain other fields it will be possible to offer direct progression,
subject to satisfactory progress, from the Fellowship to a Lectureship.
Candidates should be under 28 years of age on taking up the Fellowship. The
salary will be within the range =A315,159 to =A322,785 on the Grade 1A scale
for Research and Analogous Staff.
Further details and an application form may be obtained from the Director of
Personnel Services, Old Shire Hall, Durham, DH1 3HP. (Tel: (0191) 374 7258
or Fax: (0191) 374 7253 to whom applications should be returned not later
than 5 June 1998. Please quote reference A781C .

--- located in a newly converted textile mill.
The project on "Robust and Efficient Discrete l_1 and l_inf Approximation",
is in co-operation with Professor M G Cox of the National Physical
Laboratory and involves the use of reliable numerical methods in
linear algebra and optimization to solve large approximation problems
in the field of engineering measurement. It will have a high
mathematical and numerical content and some contact with industry.
Applicants should have or expect a 2(i) honours degree or better
in a numerate discipline. Other relevant (eg. MSc) experience
would be welcome.
CASE students are normally fully funded only for UK residents,
but EC students may be funded on a "fees only" basis.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at University of Manchester
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council are funding a
Research Assistantship for a project titled
``Parallel Computation of Matrix Functions''
This is a three-year post, starting August 1st 1998,
or as soon as possible thereafter.
The aim of the project is to develop new algorithms, theory and
analysis for parallel computation of some matrix functions arising in
important application areas. The functions chosen correspond to major
computational tasks arising in science and engineering problems that
currently occupy large amounts of high-performance computing time.
Since we are concerned with accuracy and stability as well as
computing time, we also aim to derive parallel techniques for
estimating condition numbers, thereby providing error bounds for the
computed quantities.
The grant is held jointly by Professor N. J. Higham in the
Department of Mathematics and Dr T. L. Freeman and Professor J. Gurd
in the Centre for Novel Computing.
The Centre for Novel Computing (CNC) (see http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/cnc/)
is an inter-disciplinary research group with a focus on (parallel)
High Performance Computing (HPC). It has HPC research tracks in
applications and algorithms (both numeric and non-numeric),
compilation, and run-time/operating systems.
Applicants should hold, or expect to complete before the start date,
a Ph.D., and should have a strong background in some or all of
numerical analysis, linear algebra, and parallel programming.
The appointment will be made at the RA 1A level, with a current
starting salary of 16,927 pounds sterling per annum.
