Description
general research area:
The
Oxford group and Warwick node are located
in two internationally leading mathematics
departments. The group focusses on the use
of nonlinear analysis and numerical methods
to illuminate problems of solid phase transformations,
in particular those of martensitic nucleation
and microstructure morphology, the passage
from atomistic to continuum models, interfacial
energy and micromagnetics.
|
Description
particular research topics for MULTIMAT:
In
the framework of the RTN project the focus
will be on crystalline solids and their
microstructure, on the theoretical interpretation
of data resulting from experiments on specific
materials, and on the development and use
of mathematical tools for modelling and
analyzing multi-scale problems in phase
transformations. |
Available
positions:
Early
Stage Researchers
Preference
is for those with a mathematics degree,
or with a degree in some related area (e.g.
physics, materials science) with a substantial
mathematical content. It is essential that
applicants have a genuine interest in the
interaction of theory with experiments.
The
preferred starting date is October 1, 2004
with an envisaged stay of 3 years leading
to a Ph.D.. Alternative (later) starting
dates are also possible.
Experienced
Researchers
Applicants
should have, or be about to obtain, a Ph.D.
in mathematics or a related area. It is
essential that applicants have a genuine
interest in the interaction of theory with
experiments.
The
preferred starting date is October 1, 2004
with an envisaged stay of 1 or 2 years,
but alternative suggestions will be considered.
