Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux (Université Bordeaux 1)
Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (Ecole Normale de Lyon)

Postdoctoral Reasearch Position
Project BLAN07-3_187245
Hamilton-Jacobi and Weak KAM Theory

The appointment
The postdoctoral position for this project is funded by the french
Agence Nationale de la Recherche , ANR, under the program BLAN07-3_187245.
Appointments will be made initially for one year, beginning 1 september
2008 with the possibility of an extension for a second year. The permanent
location during the first year is at the University Bordeaux 1 and at the
Ecole Normale de Lyon during the second year. The candidate is encouraged
to work with the members of the team of this project. Research expenses
for travel and accommodation may be given to the candidate to meet the other
members of the project.

The project
The aim of this project is to bring together mathematicians coming from
different horizons : Hamilton-Jacobi equations, Optimal control,
Monge-Kantorovitch Transport problem, dynamical systems, weak KAM theory,
Aubry-Mather theory, ergodic optimisation, Lagrangian dynamics, Celestial
Mechanics. The candidat is intended to work on some of the following
problems :
-regularity of viscosity solutions Hamilton-Jacobi Equations
- convergence of the Lax-Oleinik semi-group
- Eikonal equations
- Monge-Kantorovitch optimal transport
- Lyapunov functions and control theory
- stochastic homogenization
- non convex Hamiltonians
- ergodic optimisation, Frenkel Kontorova, quasicristals
- generic Lagrangian dynamics
- Mather's beta function and homogenized Hamiltonian
- Celestian Mechanics

Selection criteria
Successful appointees must demonstrate, through their research achievements,
background and availability; the ability to significantly contribute to
developing connections between applied or theoretic PDE in weak KAM theory,
and dynamical systems. A scientific committee will selection the best 
suitable
candidate on the basis of international standards.
Terms and conditions
- Salary: the salary is estimated at 1800 euros net per month for a 12 
months
year.
- Holidays: 6 weeks per year plus public holidays
- Duration: one year and a possibility of one year extension

Applications
Application should include:
- Curriculum Vitae
- list of publications
- Research project (one page)
- Letter of recommendation (to be sent separately by the applicant's
supervisor )
- names, email and postal addresses of two referees

Application should be sent to
