The main aim of the Conference is to combine presentations in the theory and applications of inverse problems from groups all over the world. Our forum will bring together all classical and new inverse problems from international scientific schools. The focus will be on new challenges of inverse problems in current interdisciplinary science and future directions. Continuing the traditions of the previous three international conferences "Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation", this Conference will also be held under the auspices of the leading international journals "Inverse Problems", "Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems" and "Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering". The organizers of the Conference, in particular the Oludeniz Municipality, will work to put together an excellent scientific program with social programs consisting of tours to historic places and boat rides. We welcome you to the Fourth International Conference "Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation". CHAIRS: H. T.

Depending on the expertise and research interests of the successful candidate, the work could involve, for example, dynamic tomography, region-of-interest tomography (truncated projections), sampling theory in tomography, or other theoretical aspects of classical or cone-beam tomography. Minimum requirements: * a PhD in a related field * an understanding of the principles of image reconstruction * good oral communication skills in English or French * excellent written communication skills in English French is not required for the position (but some facility in the language would obviously be helpful, and would anyway be acquired to cope with everyday living in France).
