POSTDOCTORAL APPOINTMENT FEBRUARY 1999
A post-doctoral position in the Chemical Dynamics Group at
Argonne National Laboratory with Albert Wagner and Michael Davis is open.
The research involves the development of techniques for reducing the
dimensionality of complex chemical kinetics and the incorporation of
these reductions into computational fluid dynamics codes describing
reactive flows. Of particular interest is the application of low-dimensional
manifold techniques for this reduction, but other reduction approaches
may also be explored. The project as it has developed is interdiscplinary,
involving work in numerical analysis, applied mathematics (particularly
dynamical systems), theoretical chemistry, and kinetic modeling. The
successful candidate should have some experience in one of these areas.
The Chemical Dynamics Program at Argonne consists of ten
permanent staff members, five theoreticians and five experimentalists.
It offers a unique opportunity for the close interaction between theory
and experiment. The group has a leadership role in a network of groups
at Argonne that have a common interest in the simulation of combustion
systems. The postdoctoral appointment will carry out research in the
context of this network. In this regard, joint projects with
computational fluid dynamicists from other groups involved in direct
numerical simulation of combustion processes may arise during the course
of this appointment.
Argonne is a National Laboratory operated by the
University of Chicago for the Department of Energy, and is an equal
opportunity employer. The laboratory is located about 25 miles west of
Chicago.
The position is available immediately. Applicants must have received
their Ph.D. no later than three years before their starting date.
Please send a c.v. and have two letters of recommendation to
