The results of the survey will be shared with the ISO Fortran standardisation committee, so your responses will help shape the future of the Fortran language. The survey will run until 31 Dec. 2018. The Fortran language has been steadily developing since its origins in 1957. Many people have been working on revising the Fortran specification, resulting in Fortran 77, 90, 95, 2003, 2008 and 2018 standards. This survey is designed to find out exactly what benefits newer Fortran standards bring to the community. We would like to know how newer Fortran standards have increased the quality of your code, cut development costs, increased portability or performance of your code, or whether you can attach any monetary value to the benefits enabled by modern Fortran standards. This questionnaire contains 4 sections. All questions are optional. It will take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

It is a dynamic subject in which techniques, theories and algorithms are drawn from many different areas, and it offers a diverse and stimulating environment for those whose work lies within it. This is a relatively new area that the IMA is pleased to support through a second event of its kind at the University of Derby. The conference will showcase theoretical and computational advances in the general field of discrete mathematics. It is open to researchers working with mathematical structures and abstract constructs, and to those involved in the theory and practise of discrete algorithmic computing. The purpose of this event is to highlight progress in the field through the development of novel theories, methodologies and applications accordingly, and to inspire future work. Such a meeting aims to assemble prominent and emerging researchers in discrete mathematics to present new findings, and to gain a broader snapshot of activity - we welcome the participation of graduate students and early career mathematicians, as well as more established academics. The conference seeks to bring together colleagues from the many different arenas where discrete mathematics is developed and applied, and it is hoped that personal collaborations will be both encouraged and fostered as a result. Plenary and contributed talks will be featured, as well as a poster presence. Invited speakers: Professor Martin Bohner (Missouri University of Science and Technology); Dr Sergey Kitaev (University of Strathclyde); Professor Preda Mihailescu (Georg-August-University, Goettingen); Professor Tom Ward (University of Leeds) Registration is open via https://my.ima.org.uk/ Conference webpage: https://ima.org.uk/7775/2nd-ima-conference-theoretical- computational-discrete-mathematics/ ------------------------------------------------------- From: Markus Bachmayr bachmayr@ins.uni-bonn.de Date: August 11, 2018 Subject: Postdoc Position, Numerical Analysis/UQ, JGU Mainz Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz in the new research group of Prof. Markus Bachmayr, with starting date as soon as possible. Candidates should have a background in the numerical analysis of PDEs and research interests in high-dimensional approximation, model order reduction, and/or uncertainty quantification. Proficiency in scientific programming is expected. The institute of mathematics at JGU offers a stimulating research environment with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations in the natural sciences. This is a full position remunerated according to TV-L E 13. It comes with the standard teaching load of 4 hours per week. As courses are to be taught primarily in German, sufficient knowledge of German is required. The initial appointment will be for a period of two years, with the possibility of an extension. The Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz aims at increasing the percentage of women in academic positions and strongly encourages women scientists to apply. The university is an equal opportunity employer and particularly welcomes applications from persons with disabilities. Applications including CV, list of publications, a research statement (approximately 2-3 pages), a concise summary of teaching experience, and contact details of at least two references should be submitted to bachmayr@ins.uni-bonn.de. Informal inquiries are welcome. The evaluation of applications will begin on August 31, 2018. Later applications will be considered until the position is filled. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Dr. Andreas Lintermann A.Lintermann@aia.rwth-aachen.de Date: August 07, 2018 Subject: PhD Position, Computational Fluid Dynamics / Machine Learning We are seeking a Ph.D. student for the research project "Data-Driven Analysis of Medical and Simulation Data for Improved Patient Treatment in Rhinology" The Institute of Aerodynamics and Chair of Fluid Mechanics (AIA) performs excellent research in fundamental and applied Fluid Mechanics and is internationally renowned for its cutting-edge research achievements. The Institute's experimental facilities enable to investigate turbulent, compressible, and incompressible flow in technical and biomedical applications. The numerics group advances research in various fields ranging from combustion processes to respiratory flows. The Julich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) operates one of the most powerful supercomputing infrastructures in Europe and makes it available to researchers at Forschungszentrum Julich (FZJ), in Germany, and throughout Europe. As part of this task JSC conducts various types of Research and Development, often in close collaboration with local, national and international partner institutions. The Julich Aachen Research Alliance - High Performance Computing (JARA-HPC) will together with other units from RWTH Aachen University and FZJ be merged to become the JARA Center for Simulation and Data Sciences (JARA-CSD), aiming at facilitating joint research, education, and industry projects between the participating institutions. Your profile: very good university degree (M.Sc. or equivalent degree) in one or more of the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, and/or Computer Science; experience in one/ideally in more than one of these fields: (Computational) Fluid Dynamics, Machine Learning, High-Performance Computing, Software Development, especially in C++ and Python; solution-oriented, social, and independent enthusiast with a strong interest for highly interdisciplinary research and good communication and team skills. Please send your application including a cover letter, a letter of motivation, your CV, and your certificates to Dr. Andreas Lintermann, Institute of Aerodynamics and Chair of Fluid Mechanics and JARA-HPC, RWTH Aachen University, Wullnerstr. 5a, 52062 Aachen, Germany. We also accept applications sent per email to A.Lintermann@aia.rwth- aachen.de or J.Jitsev@fz-juelich.de. In this case, please provide your application in PDF format.
