Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods for Compressible Fluid Flows

Applications are invited for the above EU-funded post to develop reliable and efficient adaptive finite element algorithms for the numerical approximation of compressible fluid flows, based on employing non-conforming discontinuous Galerkin methods. This project is part of the EU sixth framework ADIGMA project, which aims to develop the next generation of advanced computational fluid dynamics algorithms for complex aerodynamical flows. More information
on ADIGMA is available at this page.

Candidates must hold, or be working towards, a PhD degree in computational applied mathematics/numerical analysis. Research experience in the theory and practical development of finite element methods is essential. This post will require the person appointed to be able to work independently and as part of a team, to be flexible and to have good communication and interpersonal skills.

Salary will be within the range £21,682 - £30,913 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience (salary can progress to £34,793 per annum, subject to performance) – (£23,692 maximum without PhD). This post is available from 1 October 2007 and will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 23 months.
