Post-doctoral research fellow sought to work for three years on an EPSRC-funded project entitled Acoustic Localisation of Coronary Artery Stenosis. This project is concerned with mathematical modelling and development of novel software for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. It is a joint effort with biomedical engineers at Queen Mary University of London and Barts & The Royal London NHS Trust (Whitechapel), and with mathematicians at North Carolina State University.
Your main duty will be the development and implementation of time domain finite element methods in a multi-core high performance computing environment. Essential requirements for this post are:
o A PhD in an area involving the finite element approximation of time dependent partial differential equations.
o Practical and theoretical expertise in the implementation of three dimensional finite element approximations (and use of mesh generation software) in a high performance computing environment.
In addition, it will be a considerable advantage if you can demonstrate:
o An ability and willingness to work as part of an international, interdisciplinary and multi-site team involving experimental scientists as well as other mathematicians.
o An enthusiasm for matching theoretical results with experimental ones in an applied and results-driven project.
o Excellent written and oral communication skills.
