The Center for Nonlinear Science at Georgia Institute of Technology invites applications for the Joseph Ford Postdoctoral Fellowships.

The Fellows will become key players in the collaboration between Georgia Institute of Technology (Predrag Cvitanović, Roman Grigoriev and Mike Schatz), U New Hampshire (John F. Gibson), ISIT Austria (Björn Höf), Friedrich-Alexander U (Marc Avila), and U Sheffield (Ashley Willis); the Rayleigh-Benard experiment is a collaboration with Rutgers University (Konstantin Mischaikow) and Virginia Tech (Mark Paul). Additional information about the project and the Center for Nonlinear Science is available at ChaosBook.org/tutorials, Channelflow.org, and www.cns.gatech.edu.

Fellows will have access to the full range of university resources and receive a salary and benefits commensurate with qualifications and experience, as well as a Fellow research/travel account. Candidates with a Ph.D. in physics, applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, or a related field and background in nonlinear dynamics and experience with experimentation or computer simulations are encouraged to apply. The appointments are available immediately, with applications considered until the positions are filled. To apply, please upload curriculum vitae along with a brief statement of how your research interests are related to the position to mathjobs.org #4108, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation uploaded to this site. You can contact us at cns@gatech.edu.
