Applications are invited for a 18 month post-doctoral position at INRIA Sophia Antipolis to carry out theoretical and computational research in the framework of the development of a high-order, parallel, discontinuous Galerkin particle-in-cell solver on unstructured tetrahedral meshes for the simulation of the transport of charged particles in 3D.

Applicants should have (or hope to have soon) a PhD in applied mathematics or scientific computing and have experience with study and solution of partial differential equations. A qualification in computational electromagnetics is desirable, a first experience in the

study of the coupled Vlasov/Maxwell equations will be an asset. A good programming experience (Fortran) is required, as is the ability to manipulate computer codes in a Linux/Unix environment.
