<br />Subject: Jim Douglas, Jr.

<br /><br />Jim Douglas, Jr., Professor of Mathematics at Purdue University, was
<br />88 years old when he passed away on April 27, 2016.
<br />
<br />Jim received his Ph.D. from Rice University in 1952 and spent five
<br />years working in the oil industry before returning to Rice to teach,
<br />moving to the University of Chicago, and completing his career at
<br />Purdue. Jim made important contributions in the area of numerical
<br />solutions of partial differential equations, and was one of the most
<br />influential mathematicians in developing methods for the simulation of
<br />multiphase flows in petroleum reservoirs.
<br />
<br />Data from the Mathematics Genealogy Project show his importance to the
<br />area of computational and applied mathematics. He advised 42 students
<br />to the completion of their Ph.D. degrees, and today has 361 degree
<br />descendants. Moreover, when the Texas Institute for Computational and
<br />Applied Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin organized a
<br />conference in 2002 to honor Jim on the occasion of his 75th birthday,
<br />it was determined that he then had 54 postdoctoral associates.
<br />
<br />It is a great loss not to have Jim with us anymore. He will be long
<br />remembered.

<br /><br />The 22nd Industrial Mathematical & Statistical Modeling (IMSM)
<br />Workshop for Graduate Students will take place at North Carolina State
<br />University, 17-27 July 2016.  The workshop is sponsored by the
<br />Statistical and Applied Mathematical Science Institute (SAMSI)
<br />together with the Center for Research in Scientific Computation (CRSC)
<br />and the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University.
<br />
<br />The IMSM workshop exposes graduate students in mathematics,
<br />engineering, and statistics to exciting real-world problems from
<br />industry and government. Projects will be provided by: US Army Corps
<br />of Engineers; Sandia National Laboratories; US Environmental
<br />Protection Agency; Pfizer; and Rho, Inc. The workshop also provides
<br />students with experience in a research team environment and exposure
<br />to possible career opportunities. On the first day, a Software
<br />Carpentry bootcamp will bring students up-to-date on their programming
<br />skills in Python/Matlab and R, and introduce them to version control
<br />systems and software repositories.
<br />
<br />Local expenses and travel expenses will be covered for students at US
<br />institutions. The application deadline is 15 May 2016.  Information is
<br />available at http://www.samsi.info/IMSM16 and questions can be

<br />Subject: Postdoc Position, Math Modelling and Scientific Computing, McMaster

<br /><br />Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship position in the
<br />Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. This
<br />fellowship provides an opportunity to engage in research in close
<br />collaboration with Dr. Protas and his group (more information
<br />available at http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/bprotas ) with a limited
<br />amount of teaching. The focus of this industry-cofunded position will
<br />be research on mathematical and computational modelling of
<br />nonequilibrium electrochemical and thermodynamic processes occurring
<br />in Li-ion batteries. This position is intended for an applied
<br />mathematician interested in exploring a rapidly developing application
<br />area, or for a mathematically-minded chemist with a solid background
<br />in theoretical and computational chemistry. In either case, knowledge
<br />of multiscale modelling (especially homogenization), electrochemistry,
<br />PDEs and scientific computing will be an asset. This research project
<br />also involves close collaboration with chemists and material
<br />scientists as well as research scientists with our Industrial
<br />Partner. The duration of the position will be initially one year with
<br />extension for the second year contingent on satisfactory performance
<br />and availability of funding.
<br />
<br />The fellowship is open to candidates of any nationality and selection
<br />will be based on the candidate's research potential and fit with
<br />Dr. Protas' research group. The fellowship starts on September 1, 2016
<br />or earlier, and provides an annual stipend salary of $42,000
<br />CAD. Candidates are required to apply for this fellowship by using the
<br />MathJobs website (see our advertisement with ID McMaster-PDFMMSC
<br />[#8225] at www.mathjobs.org). We will begin reviewing applications on
<br />May 18, 2016. Applications received after this date will be accepted
<br />until the position is filled, but to ensure full consideration
<br />applicants are advised to submit all supporting materials by the above
<br />deadline.

<br />Title: Effects of structural changes on the function of complex
<br />networks; Supervisor: Tiago Pereira
<br />Job description/Requirements: The main goal of this project is to
<br />understand how changes in the coupling structure of a network can
<br />affect the overall function. Using synchronization as a paradigm of
<br />network function, we aim at understanding how spontaneous collective
<br />behaviour can be destroyed or enhanced by such structural
<br />modifications. Recent results suggest that certain modifications can
<br />lead to synchronization loss despite the fact that they enhance
<br />topological properties of the network. This project develops a
<br />mathematical theory for this phenomenon, and it is divided into two
<br />objectives of increasing difficulty i) Classification of structures
<br />and links leading to synchronization loss, and ii) Effects of
<br />time-delays in the coupling structure. We will apply our theoretical
<br />results to experiments involving networks of electrical circuits and
<br />time-delayed lasers.  The successful applicant will participate of a
<br />collaborative effort being developed by the Brazilian team headed by
<br />Dr. Tiago Pereira and a British team headed by Prof. Jeroen Lamb. A
<br />doctoral degree in Applied Mathematics, Engineering or a related area
<br />is required, together with strong background on Dynamical Systems in
<br />particular stability theory and synchronization. Candidates with
<br />proven skills in performing independent scientific research and in
<br />programming for high performance computing environments will be
<br />preferred.  Interested candidates should send e-mail to
<br />tiago@icmc.usp.br, a CV and two letters of recommendation from
<br />university professors until May, 20th, 2016.
