Applications are invited for a Research
Associate/Postdoctoral position in Numerical
Relativity at the University of Maryland, College
Park, contingent on funding, starting in the Fall of
2008 or as early as the Spring of 2008. The
successful candidate will be working with the Center
for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling
(CSCAMM) as well as the Maryland Gravitation Theory
group at the Physics Department. The applicant will
benefit from accessing and interacting with these
two groups under the supervision of Dr. Manuel Tiglio.
CSCAMM's primary goal is to foster research activity
that highlights the interplay between novel
computational algorithms and mathematical modeling.
CSCAMM sponsors an active visitors program through a
series of seminars, lectures and workshops. It
supports an educational program with a series of
tutorials and courses, and is actively involved with
the Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation
graduate program at UMD (http://www.amsc.umd.edu).
CSCAMM is equipped with an access grid node that can
be used for nationwide, multipoint real time video
collaborations. More at http://www.cscamm.umd.edu/.
The Maryland Gravitation Group has participated
since the 1960s in the exciting development of the
subject of General Relativity Theory. The discovery
of this theory by Einstein in 1915 involved far
reaching insights on the nature of gravity and the
dynamical structure of space and time. General
Relativity has come to play a central role in
understanding the most energetic astrophysical
processes in the universe, the history and dynamics
of the cosmos as a whole, and in the puzzles that
lie today at the frontiers of fundamental physics.
The research areas include Classical Gravity,
Gravitational Waves, Numerical Relativity, Quantum
Field Theory in Curved Spacetime, Early Universe
Cosmology, Black Hole Thermodynamics, Condensed
Matter Analogs and Quantum Gravity. More at http://www.physics.umd.edu/rgroups/grt.html.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a list
of publications, and a statement of research
interests, and also make arrangements to have three
letters of recommendation. All the material should
be sent by email to
The deadline for full consideration is December 1,
2007.

Successful applicants are expected to have a strong component of their research devoted to developing and studying mathematical models for biomedical problems. The various projects involve opportunities to collaborate with experimentalists and with medical doctors on contemporary problems in cancer, immunology, and cell motility. The preferred candidates should be highly motivated and independent. He/she should hold a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (or in a related discipline) and have experience in developing, analyzing, and simulating mathematical models for biomedical problems. The positions will be supervised by Prof. Doron Levy.
Appointments are for two years subject to an annual performance review. The incumbent is expected to be actively involved with the educational and research activities at CSCAMM and at the department of Mathematics. Annual salary is $50,000 with an additional $2,000/yr for support of the incumbent’s research. Qualified applicants must file their application electronically at the CSCAMM website: http://www.cscamm.umd.edu/postDoc_app, including their curriculum vitae and a research statement. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be mailed or e-mailed to:
BioMed Post-Doc CSCAMM 4146 CSIC (Building #406) University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742-3289
