Germany - University of Bonn PhD Position in Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Chemical Process

Research field:
Numerical modeling of atmospheric chemical processes

Position:
A PhD position is available at the Meteorological Institute of the University of Bonn.
Together with another Postdoc student, the applicant will work within a common research project of the Meteorological Institutes of the Universities of Bonn and Mainz and the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry in Mainz.

Contract:
The research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It is limited to a three year period with a salary TVL 13/2.

Proposed research of the project:
Numerical modeling of chemical processes in the atmosphere is essential to increase our understanding of atmospheric composition and its changes induced by human activity. In recent years, global-scale atmospheric models have been developed that calculate the concentration and processing of atmospheric trace constituents. However, for key problems, auch as local air quality and long-range transport from local sources, the development of high-resolution models is essential.

Denmark - Risoe National Laboratory PhD Positions in Numerical Analysis of X-Ray Data

Four Ph.D. and post doc positions are available at the Centre of Excellency: “Metal Structures in four Dimensions” at Risoe National Laboratory in Denmark. The center has been the pioneer behind a new x-ray imaging technique for in situ 3D visualisation of materials, known as 3DXRD. This technique is based on tomographic reconstruction principles and very large data sets, emerging from 3D detectors. We have a close collaboration with groups in applied mathematics, e,g. CUNY.

The candidates will be part of an international network aiming at the design and implementation of new algorithms for 3DXRD. We seek candidates with a strong background in scientific computing. An interest in tomographic reconstruction or image analysis or the implementation of large sets of linear equations would be favourable.

Japan - Post doctoral Opportunity in Continuous Optimization at Tokyo Institute of Technology

We are looking for a promising and highly motivated candidate for a year post-doctoral position in continuous optimization at Tokyo Institute of Technology, one of the leading university of science and technology in Japan. This program is financed by the grant “Front-Runner Nurturing Program” of Global Edge Institute

The candidates must hold or expected to hold a PhD degree in Optimization, Applied Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, Computer Science, or Computational Chemistry by the time of employment. Also, he/she must have a background in continuous optimization or computational chemistry. A research experience focused on theoretical or computational optimization is welcome. However, there will be given priority for candidates who have some experience or interest in optimization problems related to Semidefinite Programming as well as its applications. If possible, the candidate is expected to help the development or the applications of the software SDPA/SDPARA maintained by our group. It will be excellent if the candidate has further knowledge of computational quantum chemistry and/or parallel computing.
