http://www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/

The “Scientific computing - Optimization and Optimal Control Group” issearching a PostDoc with a strong background in partial differentialequations or variational problems. The research focus will be adjustedaccording to the interests of the successful candidate. Possiblespecializations include all areas of continuous optimization, optimi-zation in the context of mathematical finance, life sciences, andmaterial sciences.

A doctorate in mathematics or a closely related field is required. Theworking language is English. The initial contract can be for up to threeyears, a renewal for three more years is possible depending onachievements.

For more information contact Prof. K. Kunisch at:karl.kunisch@uni-graz.at.

RICAM is a research institute which went into operation on January 1,2003, and is building up to a total of 30 PostDoc positions in six areas:Computational Methods for Direct Field Problems, Inverse Problems,Optimization and Optimal Control, Symbolic Computing,Analysis of Partial Differential Equations, Mathematical Finance.

The institute is housed on the campus of the Johannes Kepler Universityin Linz, a town of about 240.000 on the Danube, very close to theAustrian Alps, and half-way between Vienna and Salzburg. Furtherinformation is available under: http://www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/.
