News
It is with great sadness that we pass on the news that Leonid Pavlovich
Shilnikov, the pioneer of homoclinic bifurcation theory, died
on 26 Dec 2011 at the age of 77. He was surrounded by his family.
Jobs
-
Two PhD studentships are available in the Department of Mathematics at
the University of Auckland to work on a project in dynamical systems
and mathematical physiology, looking at techniques for analysis of
mathematical models with multiple timescales with particular
application to models of intracellular calcium dynamics and of
neurons. This work is part of a larger project looking at techniques
for rigorous construction and analysis of reduced models of
physiological systems and involving the researchers James Sneyd, Hinke
Osinga, and Vivien Kirk at the University of Auckland, and Martin
Wechselberger at the University of Sydney.
A good background in dynamical systems and scientific programming is desirable.
Stipend is NZ$25,000 pa (tax free) for three years plus tuition fees.
Interested candidates should send an email expressing their interest,
along with a CV and academic record, to Dr Vivien Kirk at
v.kirk@auckland.ac.nz
Closing date: 9 Jan 2012

A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mathematics at the
University of Auckland to work on a project in mathematical modelling
and behavioural ecology, to develop a mathematical model of animal
navigation. As well as model development, the project will include
analysis of previously collected tracking data of homing pigeons with
respect to local magnetic field data. This work is part of a larger
interdisciplinary project between the Mathematics and Biology
departments, focussed on using mathematical models to understand animal
behaviour. The project will be supervised by Dr Claire Postlethwaite
(Mathematics) and Prof Michael Walker (Biology).
A good background in mathematical modelling and scientific programming
is desirable. Previous knowledge of biological systems is not required
but may be an advantage.
Stipend is NZ$25,000 pa (tax free) for three years plus tuition fees.
Interested candidates should send an email expressing their interest,
along with a CV and academic record, to Dr Claire Postlethwaite at
