PIRE Postdoctoral Fellowships
Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions at the Department of
Mathematical Sciences in Carnegie Mellon University, partly funded by
the NSF PIRE award "Science at the Triple Point Between Mathematics,
Mechanics and Materials Science"
(
http://www.math.cmu.edu/PIRE/index.html). The scientific scope is
directed to issues in applied mathematics and mechanics, including
partial differential equations, calculus of variations, and scientific
computation, which arise from the materials sciences. Four principal
areas are identified: Pattern formation from energy minimization,
challenges in atomistic to continuum modeling and computing, prediction
of hysteresis, and pattern dynamics and evolution of material
microstructure.
The appointment is for three years starting on September 1, 2013 with
two semesters spent at one or more of our international partner sites:
International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA, Trieste, Italy), Max
Planck Institute (Leipzig, Germany), University of Antwerp (Belgium),
University of Bonn (Germany), University of Oxford (United Kingdom) and
University of Warwick (United Kingdom)
Priority will be given to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
Candidates should apply directly through MathJobs.Org. Processing of
applications will begin on December 15, 2012.
