We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate to be part of a new Brown-MIT collaborative effort in the development and analysis of certified reduced basis methods. These techniques
allow the formulation of fast reduced order models with rigorous a posteriori bounds and have numerous important applications in control, optimization, and compression of general problems
in acoustics, electromagnetics, and heat conduction.

The ideal candidate will be a recent PhD in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics with an emphasis on applied and numerical analysis for PDE’s, ideally wave problems. Experience with finite element methods and the implementation of complex algorithms in C/C++ is strongly preferred.

The starting date is negotiable but not later than Sept 1, 2007 and earlier is strongly preferred. The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of extending it to three years. Salery and benefits are competitive. Teaching is encouraged but not required.

Please send application material (CV, AMS coversheet, statement of research interests) and arrange to have 3 letters of recommendation send to:
