Postdoctoral Position in High-order Methods for Computation of Shocked Particle Laden Flows, San Diego State University and Hong Kong Baptist University, USA

We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate to be part of a collaborative effort between San Diego State University and Hong Kong Baptist University in the development of high-order methods for computation of shocked particle laden flows. High-order methods allow for the fast and accurate computation of this type of flows with a large range of scales and find application in high-speed combustion and explosion.

The ideal candidate will be a recent PhD with a background in Applied Mathematics or Computational Engineering with an emphasis on scientific computing and numerical analysis of PDEs, ideally compressible flow problems. Experience with high-order methods (WENO finite difference/finite volume with structured and unstructured mesh and/or spectral methods) and the implementation of complex parallel algorithms in Fortran 95 is strongly preferred.

The starting date is negotiable but not later than Jan. 1, 2010, earlier is strongly preferred. The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of extending it to two years. Salary and benefits are competitive.

Please send application materials (CV, AMS coversheet, statement of research interests) and arrange to have three letters of recommendation send to:
