NA Digest Sunday, July 3, 1988 Volume 88 : Issue 26 Today's Editor: Cleve Moler Today's Topics: NSF Program Director in Advanced Scientific Computing Two Positions at University of New South Wales SVD Code in C Wanted ------------------------------------------------------- From: Melvyn Ciment <mciment@note.nsf.gov> Date: Mon, 27 Jun 88 14:44:49 -0400 Subject: NSF Program Director in Advanced Scientific Computing The NSF Division of Advanced Scientific Computing manages the five national supercomputer centers and research programs in New Technologies and Computational Science and Engineering. The latter research programs are currently being administered by Dr. Richard Hirsh who intends to resume his position at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory on October 1, 1988. The Division of Advanced Scientific Computing (DASC) is currently led by Dr. Melvyn Ciment, Acting Director and Deputy Director and he reports to Dr. William Wulf, Assistant Director, Computer Information Sciences and Engineering Directorate. DASC is seeking a program director to manage the two programs in New Technologies and Computational Science & Engineering (NT/CSE). The program currently is being directed to interface with general NSF-wide programs in Computational Science & Engineering. The DASC NT/CSE Programs will focus on supporting interdisciplinary research teams addressing issues that arise in high performance computing in scientific and engineering applications including, but not limited to: novel computational strategies, parallel computation, visualization & graphics, software algorithms and tools, performance evaluation, networking & communication systems and advanced computational technologies. The Division of Advanced Scientific Computing is interested in identifying suitable candidates who might serve either as a rotator or as a permanent program director for this developing program. Persons interested in serving in such a position must have specialization and extensive experience in a multi-disciplinary computational science research environment. Please respond with your inquiries and recommendations to Dr. Melvyn Ciment Acting Director, Div. Advanced Scientific Computing Room 417 1800 G Street , N.W. Washington ,D.C. 20550 Tel. 202-357-7558 Electronic Mail Address: mciment@note.nsf.gov ------------------------------ From: Ian Sloan <sloan@napier.maths.unsw.oz> Date: Thu, 30 Jun 88 09:23:24 EST Subject: Two Positions at University of New South Wales Two Numerical Analysis Positions at University of New South Wales Two positions in numerical analysis at the University of New South Wales, in sunny Sydney, are currently being advertised. (See below.) One is a regular academic position, tenurable after a probationary period, or tenured immediately, depending on the circumstances. The other is a post-doc. position, in my own area. Enqiuries about either position can be directed to me: Ian Sloan Head, School of Mathematics University of New south Wales Kensington, N.S.W.2033 Australia Tel. (02) 697 2957 e-mail: sloan@napier.maths.unsw.oz ************************************************************************ The University of New South Wales Lecturer, Applied Mathematics (position 1043) (Tenured or tenurable appointment) Applicants should have a PhD or eqivalent qualification, and active research interests in numerical analysis or computational mathematics. Situated within the School of Mathematics, the Department of Applied Mathematics has active research groups in optimization, optimal control, systems theory, numerical analysis, computational mathematics, nonlinear dynamics, wave theory, fluid dynamics and physical oceanography. The Department encourages interaction with other disciplines,and research activity involving applications. In addition, the School of Mathematics is currently building up strength in the area of mathematical computer science. The successful applicant will be expected to supervise graduate students in suitable areas of specialisation, and to participate in the general teaching activities of the School. The position will be available from February 1989, and appointment will be either with tenure, or on the basis of a contract with provision for conversion to tenure. Applications close August 31 Salary: $A28694 range $A37435 Commencing salary according to qualifications and experience. Applicants should forward two copies of their applications, including curriculum vitae, to the Academic Staff Office, Kensington NSW2033 ************************************************************************ UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES RESEARCH FELLOW/ RESEARCH ASSOCIATE The appointee will be part of a team led by Professor I.H.Sloan, working on the numerical solution of integral equations, two-point boundary problems and p.d.e.'s, the numerical evaluation of high dimensional integrals and other problems of numerical analysis, and supported by a long-term Australian Research Council program grant. A PhD or equivalent qualification is required, together with demonstrable mathematical achievement and flair, and an enthusiasm to work on problems such as those above. The appointment will be for a maximum of two years, or in the case of appointment at the Research Fellow level, for a maximum of three years.
