Subject: Announcing QCDLAB 1.0, "Lattice QCD with MATLAB"
Dear all,
This is to anounce QCDLAB, a design and research tool for lattice QCD
algorithms. The tool, a collection of MATLAB/OCTAVE functions, is based on
a ``small-code'' and a ``minutes-run-time'' algorithmic design philosophy.
The present version simulates Schwinger model on the lattice, a great
simplification, which shares many features and algorithms with lattice
QCD. A typical computing project using QCDLAB is characterised by short
codes, short run times, and the ability to make substantial changes in a
few seconds. QCDLAB 1.0 can be downloaded from the QCDLAB project homepage
http://phys.fshn.edu.al/qcdlab.html.
Best Regards,
Artan Borici

we hope to publish papers in several areas, especially
nonlinear optimization and approximation theory.
All such submissions will be refereed in the usual way,
and should be received no later than 31 March, 2007.
Authors of papers that have already been submitted to
IMAJNA may request them to be considered for the special
issue. Authors interested in submitting a paper to the special
issue, or transferring a paper that has already been submitted,
should send an email, before 31 December 2006, expressing this intent to

Two postdoctorate positions in Algebra and Analysis at TU-Berlin
The Math Institute of Technische Universitaet Berlin invites applications
for two postdoctorate positions, in Algebra and in Analysis.
The successful applicants should have a PhD in pure or applied mathematics.
* The position with emphasis in algebra requires a strong background in
commutative algebra, combinatorics, linear and multilinear algebra.
* The position with emphasis in analysis requires a strong background in
real and complex analysis, functional analysis, approximation theory and
numerical analysis. The successful applicants for either position should
have excellent research records, interest in interdisciplinary work, and
ability to communicate with researchers in other fields. Programming skills
(MATLAB, symbolic algebra software, C, C++, Fortran, Java, etc.) are a plus.
The postdoctorate researchers will be working on the project "Direct and
inverse problems of numerical algebra and analysis" led by Prof. Olga Holtz

PhD Studentship in Numerical Analysis/Linear Algebra at TU-Berlin
The Math Institute of Technische Universitaet Berlin invites applications
for a PhD research position in numerical analysis/linear algebra.
The successful applicant should have a B.S. in pure or applied mathematics
with strong background in functional and numerical analysis, linear and
abstract algebra and combinatorics. Programming skills (MATLAB, C++, Java),
experience with (La)TeX, good knowledge of English and German are desirable.
The candidate will be working on the project "Direct and inverse problems
of numerical algebra and analysis" led by Prof. Olga Holtz and sponsored
by the Sofja Kovalevskaja Prize of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
The position will be open November 1, 2006 until filled. To apply, send a

Subject: PhD Studentship
Swansea University
School of Medicine
PhD studentship in Medical Physics/Engineering (new terms)
We seek an enthusiastic individual with an interest in scientific computing
and medical imaging to join a 3-year, EPSRC-funded project in magnetic
induction tomography. This is a technique that maps the internal electrical
conductivity of the body and is being developed as a new medical imaging
modality. Of particular interest in this project is the imaging of cerebral
stroke and the potential for a new means of rapid diagnosis that could enable
a more timely treatment.
The work will involve numerical modelling and practical laboratory imaging,
leading to clinical measurements. There will be opportunities to present
results at international conferences. Although based at Swansea University,
you will work as part of an established multi-centre research team involving
the Universities of Glamorgan and Manchester, as well as other industrial and
academic partners. You should have a First or Upper Second Class degree, or
equivalent, in Physics, Engineering, Mathematics or a related field.
The studentship is available from 1 November 2006 with a starting date no
later than 1 April 2007.
The stipend will be at the current EPSRC level, £12,300 per annum. Tuition
fees will be funded (including at overseas rate).
Further particulars are available from Professor H. Griffiths, tel: +44
(0)1792 285297, email: huw.griffiths@swansea-tr.wales.nhs.uk. To make a formal
application, please email your curriculum vitae to Professor Griffiths, with a
covering letter/message giving the names and contact details of two academic
referees. Interviews will be held in early November.
General information about Swansea University and the School of Medicine can be
found on the website www.swan.ac.uk
The closing date for applications is Friday, 3 November 2006.
