CPSE has a substantial research activity in the area of numerical and symbolic techniques for the solution of large process simulation and optimisation problems, currently involving about ten members of the academic staff and more than 20 other researchers. The work includes the development of both fundamental algorithms and general-purpose computer codes based on these algorithms. For more than a decade, the Centre has been pioneering techniques in diverse areas including the solution of mixed systems of differential and algebraic equations, the optimisation of transient systems, global optimisation and stochastic optimisation. Much of the Centre's work has been embedded in commercial software that is already used widely in industrial practice. The Mathematical Solution Algorithms and Codes Co-ordinator will report to Professor C.C. Pantelides who is in charge of the Process Modelling and Numerical Methods activity within the CPSE. His/her main duties will include: * Advice on algorithm design and numerical software architecture * Research and Research Supervision * Numerical Software Standardisation In addition, he/she will represent the Centre in collaborative initiatives (such as the Global CAPE-OPEN project) aiming at the definition of international standards for numerical software Qualifications -------------- He/she will be expected to hold a PhD degree in numerical mathematics, engineering, or physics and possess substantial first-hand experience over several years in three or more of the following areas: * Numerical algorithms and codes for solution of systems of equations (linear/ nonlinear, algebraic, ordinary or partial differential) * Numerical algorithms and codes for optimisation * Object-oriented programming methodologies using C++ and/or Java * Use of middleware such as CORBA and COM/DCOM * Development of parallel numerical algorithms and their implementation on distributed computers * Definition of software standards for numerical methods. Appointment ----------- This is a senior position at ALC3 or RAII level (Salary scales 22579 - 33593 UKP/annum + 2134 UKP/annum London allowance). The appointment will be for a period of up to three years in the first instance, with an initial probation period of 6 months. Please send a curriculum vitae, a list of publications if appropriate, and the names and addresses of two referees to: Professor C.C. Pantelides, Tel: 020 7594 6622, Fax: 020 7594 6606, e-mail: c.pantelides@ic.ac.uk. Closing date: 15 July 2000 The College is striving towards Equal Opportunities
