Interested Graduate students may also apply. Some information on the grant may be obtained via my webpage: http://math.georgiasouthern.edu/~damelin/ contact email: steve.damelin@gmail.com ----------------------------- Subject: job advertisement to IP-NET digest From: Ville Kolehmainen Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2010 EARLY STAGE RESEARCHER POSITIONS IN SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING University of Eastern Finland Department of Physics and Mathematics (Kuopio campus) The University of Joensuu and the University of Kuopio merged to constitute the University of Eastern Finland, which began its operations on 1 January 2010. The University of Eastern Finland seeks to be an internationally recognised research and teaching university, which is among the top three most significant universities in Finland and among the leading 200 universities in the world. The Inverse Problems Group (IPG) at the University of Eastern Finland is affiliated with the Center of Excellence in Inverse Problems Research (Academy of Finland). The IPG is led by Prof. Jari P. Kaipio, and it currently consists of 10 senior and postdoc researchers and 8 PhD students. The group will hire new doctoral students in 2011. All PhD projects are related to scientific computing, either to the stable forward, or the unstable inverse problems. With all projects, part of the work is to be carried out while visiting one or several of the international partners. The salary will be placed on levels 1-4 of the job demands level chart for teaching and research personnel in the Salary System for Finnish Universities. The duration of the position can be up to four years, beginning on 1 January 2011. However, with most projects, the starting times are negotiable, and the style and contribution can be adjusted somewhat to match the students' strengths. We invite prospective candidates (persons with a relevant MSc degree or students graduating in the near future) to apply for one or several of the following projects 1) Stochastic boundary models for inverse problems induced by PDEs 2) Development of advanced modelling for diffuse optical tomography 3) Electrical capacitance tomography imaging of concrete 4) Optimal control in geophysical tomographic problems 5) Electrical impedance tomography for non-invasive measurement of occupational voice loading The application with the following documents should be sent or delivered to the Registry Office of the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio Campus, P.O.B. 1627, 70211 Kuopio, Finland (street address: Yliopistonranta 1 E, Snellmania) or Joensuu Campus, P.O.B. 111, 80101 Joensuu, Finland (street address: Yliopistokatu 2, Aurora). The deadline for applications is October 29, 2010 (at 3.00 pm). 1) Cover letter indicating which project(s) are addressed, 2) Short CV, 3) Scanned copies of relevant diplomas and transcripts of academic records. The diplomas and transcripts should be in English or Finnish and the grading system should be described 4) Names and contact information of two referees For more information, see http://physics.uku.fi/research/IP/Announcement2010.pdf All enquiries related to the PhD projects: Ville.Kolehmainen@uef.fi Submitted by: Ville Kolehmainen, Ph.D., Docent, Academy Research Fellow Department of Physics and Mathematics, University of Eastern Finland P.O.Box 1627, 70211 Kuopio, Finland ----------------------------- Subject: Special Issue: Inverse Problems, in Honour of Biswa Datta From: Eric Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2010 NLAA Special Issue in Inverse Problems in Science and Industry, In Honour of Biswa Datta Call for Papers: Special Issue in Inverse Problems in Science and Industry, dedicated to Biswa Datta We are pleased to announce a special issue of Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications in Inverse Problems in Science and Industry, dedicated to Biswa Datta.
