J. Watson Research Center 1997-1998 IBM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center invites applications for its 1997-1998 Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in mathematical and computer sciences. This fellowship provides scientists of outstanding ability an opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident department members at the Research Center. The department provides an atmosphere in which basic research is combined with experience on technical problems arising in industry. The program of the Mathematical Sciences Department is organized for research in pure and applied mathematics, and in theoretical and exploratory computer science. On-going research in the department includes work on sequential and parallel algorithms, computational complexity, coding theory, cryptography, numerical analysis, differential equations, mathematical optimization, high-performance computation, logic design, computer algebra, statistics, dynamical systems, continuous complexity, computational linguistics, computer music, user interface technology, and knowledge-based systems. Close interaction with permanent department members is expected, but fellows will be free to pursue their own research interests. Each candidate must have a doctorate and not more than five years of postdoctoral professional experience when the fellowship commences. The fellowship has a period of one year, and may be extended by another year on mutual agreement. The stipend will be generally in the range of $67,000 to $70,000 per year, depending on experience. In addition, there will be an allowance for moving expenses. The Research Center is located in Westchester County, approximately forty miles north of New York City.

It concerns Functional Languages in Numerical Analysis; a testcase and is a joint project between prof. O. Axelsson (Numerical Mathematics) and profs H. Barendregt and M.J. Plasmeijer (Informatics). The major purpose of the project is to provide evidence that parallel codes for large scale problems as arising in scientific computing can be efficiently implemented using functional languages. Specifically, when solving very large scale systems of equations such as occur for the Helmholtz equation in 2D and 3D for several frequencies of the irradiating waves used in ultrasound tomography, for instance, there is a need to develop new and faster algorithms, which can give an accurate answer in real time during the examination of the object (such as a human body). To this end parallel computing must be used with scalable algorithms. A new class of additive preconditioning multilevel iteration methods will be developed and compared with previous multiplicative type of methods. To simplify the programming and to optimize the code for a parallel environment, existing functional languages will be further developed and used in an interactive way with program transformation techniques for the iteration solution code. Such a mode of working requires intensive collaboration from teams from both mathematics and computer science. For this, the required supervising personnel as well as hardware, is available locally. For this position we are searching for a candidate who has finished or will finish shortly his/her university studies in numerical mathematics or in informatics and who is at most 26 years of age. The project requires someone who has extensive knowledge of numerical mathematics, who has excellent university marks (''cum laude'') and who has a documented interest for computer science and parallel algorithms. Appointment will be in temporary service with NWO, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, for at most four years. Salary will be Dfl. 2.144 in the first year, rising to Dfl. 3.775 in the fourth year. Women and candidates coming from one of the member states of the European Union are particularly asked to apply. Anyone interested in this position who fulfills the above requirements is requested to apply, preferably via e-mail, to Owe Axelsson before November 11, 1996. email: axelsson@sci.kun.nl Adress: O. Axelsson, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, Toernooiveld 1, 6525 ED, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. ------------------------------ From: Mayer Humi Date: Mon, 21 Oct 1996 15:11:50 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Position at Worcester Polytechnic Institute MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT HEAD Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is an innovative technological university in engineering, science, management, humanities, arts and social sciences with an enrollment of 2,500 undergraduate and 400 full-time graduate students, located in central Massachusetts.
