The Department of Scientific Computing at Simula Research Laboratorydevelops numerical methods and software for the solution of partialdifferential equations (PDEs). Currently, we have three PhD positionsopen from April 1, 2006.

Computational Geosciences (two open positions)
The PhD projects will address two different topics:
  1. Coupled heat transfer, fluid flow, and deformation in porous media
  2. Simulation models for deposition of sediments

Contact: Professor Are Magnus Bruaset (arem@simula.no)

Cardiac Computations (one open position)
The topic of the PhD project will be modeling and simulation of
mechanical activity in the heart.

Contact: Research Director Joakim Sundnes (sundnes@simula.no)
