The ideal candidate will be a recent PhD with a background in Applied Mathematics or Computational Engineering with an emphasis on scientific computing and numerical analysis of PDEs, ideally compressible flow problems. Experience with high-order methods (WENO finite difference/finite volume with structured and unstructured mesh and/or spectral methods) and the implementation of complex parallel algorithms in Fortran 95 is strongly preferred.

The starting date is negotiable but not later than Jan. 1, 2010, earlier is strongly preferred. The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of extending it to two years. Salary and benefits are competitive.
