The main idea is to develop algorithms for (discrete-)continuous optimization that control the overall accuracy of the optimization model by exploiting tailored error estimates. The successful applicant will thus work at the interesting interface between optimization and numerics. The developed algorithms will be analyzed theoretically and need to be implemented in a programming language like C++ or Python. We seek excellent open-minded and team-spirited PhD candidates that should have completed their studies at master level in a program with strong mathematical background in optimization. Please send your complete application documents (motivation letter, CV, certificates, and a list of MSc courses with grades) as soon as possible as one PDF to martin.schmidt@uni-trier.de. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Yanping Ma yma@lmu.edu Date: November 18, 2018 Subject: Special Issue, Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering We would like to invite you to contribute a paper for the special issue on the topic of " Understanding biology through mathematics and simulations", which will be published in Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering (MBE) in 2019. All submitted papers will go through a peer- review process, and published papers are available online in open access. Biomathematics and biophysics are critical to the understanding a wide range of problems in life science, such as how to form patterns, how complex systems in human bodies work, how different parts of a cell move and function, and how molecules of life are made. Mathematicians and Physicists are continually melding and transforming biology studies with their perspectives, especially with increased support from computational tools. This special issue seeks to highlight recent advances in biomathematics and biophysics, including but not limited to the development of new models and computational methods, and applications of existing models/methods to new biological problems. We welcome contributions from both journal articles and reviews. Would appreciate if you could distribute this letter within your organization and professional network to your colleagues/students who might be interested in this publishing opportunity.
