About the role
Applications are invited for two 3-year full-time Research Associate positions to work with Prof Euan Spence as part of the ERC Synergy Grant "Phase-space-inspired numerical methods for high-frequency wave scattering: from semiclassical analysis through numerical analysis to implementation" (www.psinumscat.com).
These positions will involve the numerical analysis - a mixture of theory and computations - of acoustic and electromagnetic problems, modelled in the frequency domain by the Helmholtz equation and the time-harmonic Maxwell equations.
The successful candidates will have, or be nearing completion of, a PhD in the Numerical Analysis of wave problems.
The post carries no teaching or administrative duties.
Generous funds are available under the project for attending conferences and conducting research visits.
