Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position in the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Old Dominion University 
(R1 university in Norfolk, VA, USA). No teaching is required for this position.
The selected candidate will receive a highly competitive salary, health 
insurance, and travel funds for participation in 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 3 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 and closely collaborate 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 3-D compressible viscous flows on unstructured grids. Our department has a 
history of producing exceptionally successful, independent, and productive 
postdocs and PhD students. 

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 MPI, and effective 
communication skills (written/spoken English) are required.

Interested candidates should e-mail a CV, a copy of undergraduate and graduate 
transcripts, a summary of recent work and research interests as a single PDF 
file (not exceeding 20 Mb) 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.
