Dear Colleagues, A post-doctoral research associate position requiring extensive use of FE modelling on parallel machines is available at the School of Engineering at Durham University for 2 years from November 2003. Details below: Postdoctoral Research Associate Parametric studies of multiple tunnelling in soft ground 2 Year Fixed Term from 1st November 2003 (RA1A, £20,311) This two-year EPSRC funded post involves 3D finite element modelling of multiple tunnel construction in soft ground. The research will involve development of an existing Fortran FE code for parallel operation, training on the UK high performance computing (HPC) resources (at Manchester University) and analysis of output data. The Associate will work with Dr Charles Augarde at Durham and Dr Alison Ramage of the Department of Mathematics, Strathclyde University. Applicants should have a Doctorate in civil or mechanical engineering, applied mathematics or applied computer science (or equivalent research experience), possess expertise in one or more of the following areas: the development and use of finite element methods for the solution of PDEs; structural mechanics; numerical linear algebra; numerical methods in geotechnical engineering. Applicants must have experience of writing programs using Fortran 90 or later. Please send a full CV giving the names and addresses of two academic referees (and copies of any relevant publications) to Dr C.E. Augarde, School of Engineering, University of Durham, South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE. Alternatively you can apply online at http://www.dur.ac.uk/Personnel/vacancies/htapply.html. Further details are available from Dr Charles Augarde ([log in to unmask]) or Dr Alison Ramage ([log in to unmask]) and on the Web at http://www.dur.ac.uk/Personnel/vacancies/A2239.htm. Closing date 18 July 2003. Reference number A2239. ---- Dr Charles Augarde Phone: (+44/0) 191 334 2504 School of Engineering Fax: (+44/0) 191 334 2390 University of Durham Email: [log in to unmask] South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE,UK http://www.dur.ac.uk/charles.augarde
