POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN MATHEMATICAL MODELLING AND SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
An opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow is available in the Department of
Mathematics & Statistics at McMaster University. The successful
candidate will work in the research group of Dr. Protas and the focus
of this industry-funded position will be research on mathematical and
computational modelling of nonequilibrium electrochemical and
thermodynamic processes occurring in vehicle batteries. This position
is intended for an applied mathematician interested in moving into a
new research area, or for a mathematically-minded chemist with a solid
background in theoretical and computational chemistry (knowledge of
electrochemistry, material chemistry and spectroscopy is also an
asset). This research project will involve close collaboration with
chemists and material scientists as well as research scientists with
our Industrial Partner.
The fellowship is open to candidates of any nationality and selection
will be based upon the candidate's research potential. The start date
of the position is September 1, 2012, or earlier. The duration of the
position will be initially one year with extension for the second year
contingent on satisfactory performance. The annual salary will be
$45,000 CAD. Candidates are required to apply for this fellowship by
using the MathJobs website; see our advertisement at
www.mathjobs.org. We will begin reviewing applications on April 1,
2012. Applications received after this date will be accepted until the
position is filled, and to ensure full consideration, applicants are
advised to submit all supporting materials by the deadline.
Applicants should provide at least three letters of
recommendation. Preferably these letters will be submitted through the
MathJobs website (see above); they may also be sent directly to:
