  Fixed Term Research Position (starting May 2009, three years renewable for two further years)

  Job Description

The fixed term position will be funded through the European Research Council Advanced Grant FroM-PDE (Frobenius Manifolds and Hamiltonian Partial Differential Equations http://frompde.sissa.it/). We seek experts in one or more of the following fields: integrable systems and Frobenius manifolds; Hamiltonian partial differential equations; Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problems and Deift-Zhou steepest descent method; monodromy preserving deformations of linear differential equations with rational coefficients and Painlevé equations; numerical methods for treating PDEs with highly oscillatory solutions and special solutions to Painlevé equations.

Three year post-doc fellowship starting in September 2009

Job Description

The post-doc position will be funded through the European Research Council Advanced Grant FroM-PDE (Frobenius Manifolds and Hamiltonian Partial Differential Equations). We seek experts in the following fields: numerical methods for treating PDEs with highly oscillatory solutions and special solutions to Painlevé equations. Experience in Matlab and C++ is welcome.

We offer a thriving interactive research atmosphere along with the possibility for independent and creative research at the interface between geometry, mathematical physics and scientific computing.
