Canada: Postdoc in Applied and Industrial Mathematics (Vancouver)

Postdoctoral Position in Applied and Industrial Mathematics, Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Vancouver, Canada)

Applications are invited for up to two postdoctoral positions in Applied and Industrial Mathematics beginning July 1, 2006 (the start date is negotiable). The positions will be held within the "Mathematical Modeling and Scientific Computing (MMSC)" project, which is funded through the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS) Network of Centres of Excellence.
Information about the project can be found at the MMSC website: http://www.math.ubc.ca/~wetton/mmsc

 The salary is $45,000 Canadian, plus benefits.

The successful candidates will have opportunities for collaboration with researchers at both Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia in nearby Vancouver. No teaching is required for this position, although limited teaching duties can be arranged (with stipend) if desired. The candidate will work half-time on industrial problems from the group's sponsor, Ballard Power Systems, a world leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology.

This position is for one year with expected renewal for an additional year, and is subject to the availability of funds. Candidates must possess a recent Ph.D. in Mathematics or a related discipline, and have proven ability, or potential, for excellent research. Experience in scientific computing and industrial mathematical modeling are definite assets.

Applications should include:

• a cover letter, curriculum vitae
• 2 or 3 selected preprints/reprints
• names and contact information for three references.

All application materials should be sent to:
