Subject: Algorithms for Macromolecular Modelling

Second International Symposium
Algorithms for Macromolecular Modelling
Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum Berlin
May 21 -- 24, 1997
an interdisciplinary symposium

Following the success of the first symposium held in Lawrence in 1994,
we like to announce the second (now international) symposium ``Algorithms
for Macromolecular Modelling'' at the Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum Berlin on
May 21 -- 24, 1997.

The symposium will bring together scientists from various branches of (applied)
mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology who have been working on
molecular dynamics and molecular modelling. The broad purposes of the
symposium are (i) to provide an international forum for communicating
stat-of-the-art developments in molecular modelling algorithms and (ii)
to improve the prospects for future international collaborations by
emphasizing the involvement of younger scientists from both sides of the
Atlantic.

The emphasis of the symposium is on the numerical and algorithmic
challenges to achieve dramatic gains in the performance and reliability
of algorithms for the simulations of proteins, nucleic acids and other
polymers. Topics appropriate to the symposium include: advanced time-stepping
in molecular dynamics, electrostatics, quantum-classical dynamics, structure
determination, and free energy and ensemble calculations.

The workshop will take place Tuesday--Saturday in the new building of the
Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum on the campus of the Freie Universit"at Berlin. The
format will include invited presentations, contributed presentations (25 min.),
and poster presentations. A partial list of speakers include H.J.C.
Berendsen (Groningen), J. Board (Duke), B.R. Brooks (NIH), H. Grubm"uller
(Munich), W.F. van Gunsteren (ETH), J. Hermans (UNC), M. Holst (Caltech),
M. Kuczera (KU), A. Mark (ETH), B. Leimkuhler (UK), S. Reich (ZIB),
T. Schlick (NYU), K. Schulten (UIUC), Ch. Sch"utte (ZIB), R.D. Skeel (UIUC).

The workshop is being organized by B.R. Brooks, W.F. van Gunsteren, J. Hermans,
A. Mark, B. Leimkuhler, and R.D. Skeel with P. Deuflhard and S. Reich
as the local organizing committee. Space is limited to about one hundred
participants. Some funds might be available to assist with expenses
(depending on our success in raising funds).

Postdoctoral Position
TICAM
U. Texas, Austin

An interdisciplinary project concerned with applications of
high-performance computing methods to analysis of composite materials
has a vacancy for a post-doctoral fellow. The appointment is initially
for one year.

An ideal candidate is expected to (soon) have completed a Ph.D. in a
related field, be proficient in numerical methods (multigrid, domain
decomposition, adaptive finite element strategies), parallel and C++
programming, and have a background in continuum mechanics or physics.

Good communication skills are essential.
