Non-tenured Lecturer position at ESPCI PARIS for the 2017-2018 academic year
———————————————————————————————————

ESPCI, Paris is urgently recruiting a non-tenured Lecturer for the 2017-2018 academic year. The profile includes teaching and research activities. Teaching can be performed in English.

* Teaching activity: Supervision of practical work in C programming (first year of engineering studies), programming with Matlab (2nd year of engineering studies).
The teaching is often structured as a research project involving molecular dynamics or acoustics applications. It is taught in small groups with highly motivated students. Teaching duties are very concentrated in the year and can often be performed within a six week window, leaving the rest of the year free for research. It is pretty light (130h) and does not require much preparation for someone with computer science skills.

* Research can be associated with the Gulliver or Langevin laboratory in the fields of statistical mechanics, hydrodynamics, active matter, elasticity, biophysics, waves.
The laboratory has active theoretical and experimental groups. http://www.gulliver.espci.fr/

Applicants should hold a PhD in physics. A statistical physics background in out of equilibrium physics and/or condensed matter physics is welcome. A good knowledge of programming is a must.

Postdoc in Experimental Fluid Mechanics (Univ. Manchester)

A two-year post-doctoral position in Experimental Fluid Mechanics focused on the transition to disordered front propagation is available in the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Manchester with a starting date of 1st January 2018 and an application deadline of 19/08/2017.

Enquiries to anne.juel@manchester.ac.uk. Full details and applications on
https://www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/displayjob.aspx?jobid=13735

A postdoctoral Research Associate position is available to conduct experimental research on the instabilities of fluid interfaces in narrow gaps. The research project, Transition to disordered front propagation, is funded by EPSRC. The overall aim is to extend the modern dynamical systems approach, as recently used to develop understanding of the transition to turbulence in shear flows, to help explain the transition to disorder in an entirely different flow: Saffman-Taylor fingering in a Hele-Shaw channel. In shear flow turbulence, a key theoretical concept is the interpretation of localised turbulent puffs as edge states, weakly unstable states with a stable manifold that determines the basin boundary separating initial conditions decaying to laminar flow from those growing to turbulence. The fundamental hypothesis to be investigated in this project is that (known) unstable solutions of the Saffman-Taylor flow are edge states that underlie both the transition from the steadily propagating Saffman-Taylor finger to the experimentally observed complex patterns, and the dynamics of the patterns themselves. The quasi-two-dimensional Saffman-Taylor fingering problem is particularly amenable to experimental investigation because in further contrast to turbulence, the flow is at very low Reynolds number so that nonlinearities only occur at the interface.

You should have, or be working towards, a PhD or equivalent in a relevant area of Physics, Applied Mathematics or Engineering. Expertise in fluid mechanics and stability theory are essential, as well as having demonstrated creative experimental skills in fluids or soft matter research. Knowledge of free surface flows and modern theories of transition to turbulence in shear flows is also desirable. You should be capable of working under your own initiative and leading a small research team, so excellent communication and organisational skills are required.

The University of Manchester values a diverse workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

poste : Fluid dyn

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Brasília invites
applications for a permanent position (tenure track, full time faculty
position) in Applied Mathematics, in the sub-areas of fluid dynamics and
numerical analysis. We particularly encourage applicants with a background
in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics who are willing to interact
with the researchers, post-docs and PhD students in fluid dynamics at the
Universidade de Brasília. All candidates must have a PhD degree in either
Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or any related field
with research in fluid dynamics or numerical analysis.
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Brasília is one of the
best mathematics departments in Brazil and in Latin America, with a graduate
programme considered to be among the best in Brazil. It is widely recognised

Meeting on rheology of multiphase geological materials – 18/19 Dec 2017, Bristol

This year’s British Society of Rheology Midwinter meeting will be held on 18/19th December in Bristol. 
 
The theme of the meeting is « Rheology and flow of multiphase geological materials » and the goal is to open a dialogue between the geo-rheo community and the broader rheology community – hopefully to the benefit of both. 
 
We will be focussing particularly on the rheology of multiphase magma, and the rheology of granular flows. 
 
You can read more about the meeting here:

http://www.bristol.ac.uk/earthsciences/events/2017/earth-sciences—bsr-meeting.html

We hope that you will be interested in attending the meeting and look forward to welcoming you in Bristol.
