(EOE/AA/Minorities/Females/Vet/Disabled/Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity employer.) RTG-CI applicants must be a citizen, national or permanent resident of the United States or its territories and possessions. As an RTG instructor, they will have the enriching opportunity and responsibility to closely interact with and mentor both undergraduate and graduate students at Courant that are working in the area of modeling and simulation. Along with conducting research in the area of modeling & simulation, the specific roles in which RTG-CIs are expected to be actively involved include: 1. Attend, present in and engage in discussions during the informal RTG-related lunch time seminar together with other RTG graduate students and postdocs. 2. Supervise one or two projects in a graduate-level class on modeling and simulation offered biennially, in addition to their one course teaching. 3. Act as a coordinator of an RTG-funded undergraduate research program every other summer, along with a graduate student and faculty mentors. 4. Get involved as a presenter, instructor or mentor in outreach activities, such as Courant's cSplash day for middle and high school students. RTG-CIs will be guaranteed two months of summer support, in addition to the standard benefits given to all Courant Instructors. Ample travel funds will also be made available to RTG instructors. ------------------------------------------------------- From: RICAM office@ricam.oeaw.ac.at Date: October 17, 2018 Subject: Junior Group Leader Position, RICAM, Linz, Austria The Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences announces the opening of a JUNIOR GROUP LEADER POSITION (F/M) in the fields of Mathematical Data Sciences or Life Sciences for a fixed-term appointment of three years.

Within two new projects funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 initiative, we will advance models for seismic hazard assessment and earthquake-tsunami interaction by further developing the open-source simulation software packages ExaHyPE and SeisSol. SeisSol (cf. www.seissol.org) simulates seismic wave propagation and dynamic rupture in complex geometries based on unstructured adaptive tetrahedral meshes. ExaHyPE (cf. www.exahype.eu and www.exahype.org) is an engine for solving hyperbolic PDE systems, including the seismic wave equations. Both packages rely on the arbitrary high-order accurate derivative discontinuous Galerkin method (ADER-DG). Candidates should have a strong background in at least two of the following areas: - parallelisation of simulation software at extreme scales; experience with heterogeneous platforms is particularly welcome - performance engineering of simulation software - earthquake source physics and fracture mechanics - computational seismology and numerical methods The Geophysics section of LMU (www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de) and the scientific computing section at TUM's Department of Informatics (www5.in.tum.de) both offer excellent working conditions and host a multitude of projects related to HPC and computational geoscience. The starting date is flexible with the earliest opportunity in November 2018. Evaluation of applications starts immediately until positions are filled. Applications should be sent via email to Alice-Agnes Gabriel Michael Bader ------------------------------------------------------- End of Digest **************************
