POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT 

Applications are invited for the post of postdoctoral research assistant
commencing 1st October 2004, or at a mutually convenient date thereafter, to
work in the teams coordinated by Professor J M Ball at the Mathematical
Institute, Oxford or Dr Petr Plechac at the Mathematics Institute,
University of Warwick.  The appointed candidate will be located according to
the needs of the network.  The Marie Curie Research Training Networks
provide training and research experience for researchers of any age or
nationality by giving them the opportunity to spend between three months to
three years in another country as part of an international high-quality
research project. The networks contribute to the transfer of knowledge
through the promotion of multidisciplinary research. The schemes also
support the interaction and exchange of all research staff working on the
project.

The group focuses 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.  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.

The successful candidate should have, or be about to obtain, a PhD in
mathematics or a related area.  It is essential that applicants have a
genuine interest in the interaction of theory with experiments.  The
appointment will be made for up to two years at a salary of £26,270 as
determined by the European Union Guidelines.   Additional travel mobility
and career exploratory allowances are also available.  Candidates must
satisfy EU eligibility criteria, which can be found at:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/action/training_en
.html 

Applications including a full curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and
the names and addresses of a minimum of two referees should be sent to
Brenda Willoughby, Administrative Assistant, Mathematical Institute, 24-29
St. Giles', Oxford, OX1 3LB [email brenda at maths.ox.ac.uk], from whom further
particulars are available.   Referees should be asked to write directly to
the above address so that references arrive by the closing date of 4 June
2004.  Please quote reference BK/04/007.

POSTGRADUATE STUDENTSHIP 

Applications are invited for a postgraduate studentship commencing 1st
October 2004, to work in the teams coordinated by Professor J M Ball at the
Mathematical Institute, Oxford or Dr Petr Plechac at the Mathematics
Institute, University of Warwick.  The appointed candidate will be located
according to the needs of the network.  The Marie Curie Research Training

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.

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.
