PhD in Computational and Applied Mathematics                

RICAM, the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (Austrian Academy of Sciences), is looking for a doctoral student in applied and computational mathematics interested in pursuing research in computational harmonic analysis and partial differential equations for advanced image processing. We emphasize the interdisciplinary approach which will involve both a variety of mathematical tools and applications in art restoration. The student will be a member of the WWTF project "Five Senses - Call 2006", Mathematical Methods for Image Analysis and Processing in Visual Arts research project at RICAM, Linz, Austria.

Deadline for applications: May 31, 2007

Starting date of the PhD: November 1

The salary is determined according to the rules of the Austrian Research Fund FWF http://www.fwf.ac.at/de/projects/personalkostensaetze_2007.html , i.e., 30.860,00 €/year before tax.

Work location: RICAM, Linz, Austria.

Applications should be addressed to:
Dr. Massimo Fornasier
EMail: massimo.fornasier@oeaw.ac.at
by an email with title "Ph.D. position" and they should consist of:

a presentation letter
curriculum vitae et studiorum (including grades for each exam)
diploma thesis, if already finished, title and abstract otherwise
up to two letters of recommendation (to be scanned and included in the email)
The ideal candidate has a good background in functional and numerical analysis.

We attach further information about the project and the institute.

Ph.D. position at RICAM

In the framework of a three-year research project on "Algebraic Multigrid and Multilevel Methods for Vector-Field Problems", funded by the Austrian Science Foundation, a Ph.D. position is available at the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) starting with July 1, 2007.

For this challenging position we seek a highly motivated candidate.
A strong background in applied mathematics, in particular, in numerical methods for partial differential equations and in numerical linear algebra, and excellent programming skills are required.
Familiarity with finite element methods and (algebraic) multigrid methods is desirable. Some knowledge of electromagnetics would be advantageous.

Informal enquiries can be made to Dr. Johannes Kraus at: johannes.kraus@oeaw.ac.at

A complete application including academic records (copies of relevant documents, a statement about scientific interest and achievements related to the master thesis) should be sent to

Dr. Johannes K. Kraus
Johann Radon Institute
Austrian Academy of Sciences
Altenbergerstraße 69
A-4040 Linz Austria
Austria

Alternatively, the application material can be sent by email to mailto:johannes.kraus@oeaw.ac.at

Closing date for applications is May 27, 2007.
