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:

GRADUATE STUDENT POSITION IN MATHEMATICAL MODELLING AND SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING

An opening for a graduate student (Master's or doctoral level) is available 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 May 1 or September 1, 2012. Depending on his/her background, the student will be enrolled in the graduate program in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, or in McMaster's School of Computational Engineering and Science.
