PhD Studentship in Astronomy or Space and Plasma Physics, Sweden

/ February 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

To be eligible for a PhD student position you should have a basic university degree (at least BSc) and fulfil the entry requirements for the PhD programme (see details below). Important considerations in filling a PhD student position are the scientific capability of the student, as well as the ability of the department to offer adequate supervision for the elected research project.

The department offers four PhD programmes in Astronomy and Space and Plasma Physics:
* Astronomy
* Astronomy with specialization in Astrophysics
* Physics with specialization in Astrophysics, and
* Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics

Scholarship Application Deadline: 25 March, 2011

Postdoctoral or Post-Master’s Research Associates,USA: Computer Science Research group

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites applications for postdoctoral and post-master’s term appointments in the Computer Science Research Group of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division. Opportunities are anticipated in several of the group’s projects, in both research and software development roles, and more than one appointment may be considered.
The Group’s research covers a broad spectrum of areas associated with high-performance parallel and distributed computing and interacts strongly with large-scale applications in several scientific fields, including computational biology, plasma physics, computational chemistry, and climate modeling. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Operating systems
-Compilers
-Computer architectures
-Component middleware for HPC
-Software testing infrastructures
-Deployment and maintenance of distributed/grid software environments
-Interface contracts, design by contract methodologies
-Fault tolerance for systems- and application-level software, and algorithms
-Virtualization techniques, hypervisors, and virtual environments
-Reliability, availability, and serviceability of HPC systems; monitoring and modeling
-Accelerators (e.g. FPGA, GPGPU) for scientific applications (especially computational biology)
-HPC I/O architectures
-Parallel programming models and languages

Successful candidates will have a proven track record in one or more of the areas of interest, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work as part of a team.  Experience in high-performance computing would be valuable, and is required for some projects. Demonstrated experience with the development of large, complex software systems would also be beneficial. Applicants should clearly state relevant experience and skills, including level of proficiency, and indicate whether they are seeking a research-oriented or software development position.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.

PhD Positions at CIMNE/UPC, Barcelona: Computational Mechanics/Physics

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) is seeking candidates for PhD studies.
Students will belong to the newly created Computational Mathematics and Physics department, which will be focused on the development of computational methods for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations (PDEs).
The creation of this group is funded by the Starting Grant COMFUS,recently awarded to Dr. Santiago Badia by the European Research Council
(ERC). COMFUS is a five-year project that aims to advance in the field of numerical methods for fusion reactors technology. It involves the numerical approximation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), electromagnetics and plasma physics.
We are looking for motivated engineers, mathematicians and physicists with background on finite element methods, numerical analysis and/or parallel computing.
Some of the active lines of research of the group are: finite element formulations for thermally coupled MHD, MHD turbulence modeling, Vlasov-Maxwell solvers, fluid-structure interaction, linear solvers for sparse saddle-point matrices and parallel computing.

Send your application, providing CV, to:comfus-at-cimne.upc.edu

Scholarship Application Deadline: Apply before the end of January 2011
