Post-Doctoral Research Officer
Engineering Systems Department - Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation Group
Reference number: R/ESD74

Fixed term contract for 1 year

You will be required to teach mathematics and statistics from very elementary level to advanced computational mathematics on our post-graduate courses. You will also be required to contribute to current short course programme. As a research officer you will be responsible to enhance the capabilities of Air3D, a compressible flow solver.

Some of the enhancements include algorithmic performance, development of graphical user interface and parallelization of the program. You will also be required to contribute and deliver lectures/tutorials on a range of topics including computational partial differential equations, programming in C, high performance and parallel computing.

The successful candidate will have:

• A PhD (or soon to be completed) in scientific computation or a related discipline.
• Experience in developing advanced numerical algorithms in the area of computational fluid dynamics.
• Excellent programming skills in Fortran, C/C++ and Matlab.
• Good working knowledge of computational linear algebra programs, and numerical software libraries.
• Experience of developing software on Unix/Linux platform, and familiarity with working on computational clusters.
• Good communication skills; ability to teach elementary mathematics and basic statistics to military audience.
• Potential to develop into a self-motivated researcher.

Further details
Engineering Systems department is looking for an enthusiastic post-doctoral research officer to support their activities in teaching and research. The teaching requirements of the group vary from very elementary level mathematics to serving military officers to advanced mathematics on post-graduate courses to experienced scientists and engineers. Your teaching responsibilities include contribution to teaching material on Mathemetics for Ammunition Technician Officers, ICSC(L), Battlefield Technology Course, Scientific Programming in F95, Programming and Software development in C, Computational Partial Differential Equations, High Performance and Parallel Computing and short courses on Fortran and Matlab. Your research responsibilities will include enhancing the capabilities of Air3D (a compressible flow solver) software. Some of these enhancements will include, algorithmic performance, parallelization of the program and development of a graphical user interface.

The post is ideally suited for a recent PhD in Applied Mathematics with a specific focus on implementation of advanced numerical algorithms. You will have sound experience of developing numerically intensive software in Unix/Linux environment using Fortran, C/C++, and a good knowledge of analytical methods for the solution of Ordinary Differential and Partial Differential Equations. You will also have a good knowledge of numerical software libraries, and demonstrable of experience of using MPI libraries. Knowledge of formulating mathematical models of physical processes is an additional advantage.

It is anticipated that you will spend approximately 40% of your time enhancing Air3D software, 40% on supporting our teaching activities and the remaining 20% on personal research. Further extension of the post will strongly depend upon external support for research consultancy in the area of computational fluid dynamics.
