CNA Post-Doctoral Positions, Carnegie Mellon University. As part of our National Science Foundation supported Research Training Group (RTG) Program, the Center for Nonlinear Analysis anticipates making Post-Doctoral appointments beginning September 2011 in applied analysis in general areas of partial differential equations, calculus of variations, and their applications including materials science, systems biology, and fluid flow. These will be two-year joint appointments by the Center and the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Recipients will teach two courses per year. Participants of this program are required to be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States, and we especially encourage applications from women and minorities. Applicants should submit all materials electronically at www.mathjobs.org . This includes the AMS Standard Cover Sheet, a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement describing current and planned research, and three letters of recommendation. Recommenders who are unable to submit their letters electronically may mail them to the committee. Priority will be given to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Processing of applications will begin on December 15, 2011. All communications should be addressed to: Post-Doctoral Appointments Committee, Center for Nonlinear Analysis, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213.

Numerica Corporation seeks Ph.D. and M.S. graduates to work on its research and development programs in information science and software development. Numerica, a small business located in Loveland, Colorado with a development office in Dayton, Ohio, is a leading provider of data fusion, tracking, surveillance, sensor and communications resource management, situation assessment, distributed systems, and other information science systems and solutions to the US Government and industry. Numerica offers a rich working environment for highly talented, motivated individuals who wish to apply their scientific and technical background to the development of innovative solutions of challenging scientific problems in a team atmosphere. Numerica develops both algorithms and software for a variety of problems in information systems and science and related fields. Areas of Work include, but are not limited to, probability theory, statistics, random processes, controls, dynamical systems, estimation theory, signal processing, combinatorial and continuous optimization, Bayesian networks, multiple target tracking, data fusion, sensor and communications resource management, distributed algorithms and systems, GIS, chemical detection, numerical algorithms and their analysis, scientific computing, computer science, and software design and development using object oriented principles. At Numerica, employees participate on small teams that conduct basic and applied research and development for both the US Government and commercial customers. Successful applicants should have a demonstrated ability, interest, and desire to learn new areas and to work on new challenging scientific and engineering problems. Numerica strives to hire talented M.S. or Ph.D. graduates with a solid and broad background as opposed to specific subject training or experience. We encourage exceptionally strong applicants regardless of their specific background. COMPUTATIONAL SCIENTIST AT NUMERICA Computational scientists at Numerica work in the spectrum of numerical algorithms, their efficient and robust implementation, and software design and development. This is an indispensable position in support of delivering software solutions to the U.S. Government and commercial markets. Essential duties and responsibilities may include the following tasks: • Develop state-of-the-art software algorithms, designs, and prototypes; • Implement algorithms using object oriented design principles; • Develop, optimize, test, and deliver computationally rigorous (industrial-strength) scientific software; • Evaluate and document algorithm and software design and performance; • Prepare technical reports and publish papers describing algorithms and software designs. Successful applicants generally have the following backgrounds and experiences: • M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational or Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, or closely related field with a focus on computational science/ engineering or on software engineering; • Significant experience in C++ programming in a technical or scientific environment using the Linux operating system as evidenced by technical publications, released software, and/or work with large scale scientific computations; • Course work in or demonstrated in-depth working knowledge of efficient implementations, software engineering, object oriented design principles, and one of linear algebra, numerical analysis or optimization, or probability and statistics with a record of academic excellence; • Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly communicate technical and programmatic details to both colleagues and customers. U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS Because of the nature of the work performed by Numerica, all applicants must be capable of obtaining a US Security Clearance. At a minimum, this requires that a candidate be a US citizen and have a background such that sufficient trustworthiness can be established (e.g., clean criminal record, reasonable credit, no use of illegal drugs, etc).
