Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate position in
entropy stable methods for computational fluid dynamics, which is available in 
the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Old Dominion University (R1 
university in Norfolk, VA, USA). The selected candidate will receive a highly
competitive salary, health insurance, and travel funds for participation
in national and international scientific conferences and meetings.
The initial appointment is for a period of 1 year. The position is 
renewable annually for a period of up to 4 years subject to performance and 
funding availability. The position is available immediately, though a later 
start date is possible.

This position will provide a unique opportunity to work on a cutting-edge 
project in close collaboration with research scientists of NASA Langley Research 
Center. The focus of this project is on the development of new positivity-
preserving entropy stable spectral collocation schemes for simulation of 
compressible viscous flows on unstructured grids. Our group has a history of 
producing exceptionally successful, independent, and productive postdocs and PhD 
students. More information about our research can be found at: 
https://www.odu.edu/directory/people/n/nyamalee#profiletab=1 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated candidate with a Ph.D. 
degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering or a closely related field. 
A solid background in numerical methods for PDEs, strong hands-on experience 
with large codes written in Fortran 90 or C++ and programming in MPI, and 
effective communication skills (written/spoken English) are required.

Interested candidates should send a CV, a copy of undergraduate and graduate
transcripts, a summary of recent work and research interests, and arrange for 
at least two letters of recommendation. All applications should be submitted 
electronically as a single PDF file to nyamalee@odu.edu. Note that only those 
candidates who are selected for further consideration will be contacted. Review 
of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is 
filled.
