Eduard Čech Institute for Algebra, Geometry and Physics

The Eduard Čech center had been established in 2005 and, since 2012, it continues as a national research center focusing its attention to the interaction between algebra, geometry, and mathematical physics. The participating institutions are the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University in Brno, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague, the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Mathematics Institute of the Silesian University in Opava (see eci.math.muni.cz).

The National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUI Maynooth) is the fastest growing university in Ireland with over 8,500 students and outstanding research and scholarship in the sciences, humanities and social sciences. The university is now entering a new and exciting phase of its development, with a new strategic plan centred on further enhancing our academic programmes, providing a distinctive student experience of the highest quality, focusing our research activities on a small number of priority themes, and further internationalising the university.

The American University of the Middle East (AUM) – Kuwait, in affiliation with Purdue University, is an emerging University, dedicated to developing students’ critical thinking, identities and helping to build their characters, in order to become successful individuals, well-rounded professionals and entrepreneurs, through a unique, learner centered methodology. AUM is committed to creating a value proposition through the integration of multicultural faculty, learning facilities and outreach centers.

We encourage innovative teaching methodologies, academic research and publications.

We are seeking applicants for a project which aim is to estimate the extent and structure of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in some crop species. The applicant will conduct innovative analyses and develop novel approaches working with teams from the French National Institute for Agricultural Research.

A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Adelaide from July 2013. The studentship is associated with the recent grant of an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award to Dr Edward Green. Potential topics include:
- mathematical modelling of the mechanics of complex biological materials, with applications in tissue engineering and the mechanics of the intervertebral disc
- mathematical modelling of the role of cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions in tissue development

The Institute of Scientific Computing is seeking a PhD candidate and PostDoc to extend the research activities on parallel adaptive finite element methods and parallel solver techniques. The candidate should have a Diploma or Master degree in applied mathematics, scientific computing or compter science (respectively a PhD), excellent skills in object oriented programming in C++ and enthusiasm to work on exciting problems in applied mathematics, which are related to biology and materials science and require high performance computing. The positions are offered for 4 year.

Two-year (one renewable to two) Post-doctoral position in the university of Rome ``La Sapienza''.

The post-doctoral position will preferably be on one of the following subjects: Lie algebras and superalgebras, quantum groups, hyperplane arrangements, reflection groups, root systems, moduli spaces, vertex algebras and W-algebras, applications to integrable systems.

The gross salary is Eur 23.800 per year.

KTH School of Engineering Sciences seeks a PhD student in Lightweight Structures

KTH in Stockholm is the largest and oldest technical university in Sweden. No less than one-third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level is provided by KTH. Education and research spans from natural sciences to all branches of engineering and includes architecture, industrial management and urban planning. There are a total of just over 14,000 first and second level students and more than 1,700 doctoral students. KTH has almost 4,600 employees.

The Chair of Scientific Computing at the University of Wuerzburg, Germany
would like to announce a W2-professorship (Associate Professor) on Inverse
Problems.

This is a permanent position for a Scholar of distinction in the area of
scientific computing and inverse problems who complements the existing
research profile of mathematics in Wuerzburg and actively participates to
collaborative research projects with natural and engineering sciences and
medicine.

A detailled description can be found under the following link:

The PhD topic concerns the mathematical characterization of textures. "Texture" is one of the main elements in modeling and synthesizing images. In the last two decades, several mathematical definitions of this phenomenon have been proposed from different formalisms. Among these formalisms, stochastic modeling has proven relevancy for texture analysis and synthesis and this justifies our interest for this approach [2], [4].

The Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics is large, dynamic and a leading research centre in mathematical sciences in the country. We play a central role in the Faculty of Science and offer a broad range of courses in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, including courses for other faculties. The Department has over thirty faculty members, ten administrative staff members and more than 50 postgraduate students.

Applications are invited for appointment as a Lecturer Fixed Term in Mathematics at NUI Galway for the period 1st September 2013 to 31st August 2015.

We are looking for someone with interests in some area of algebra, geometry or topology.
