The Mathematics of Planet Earth
Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 (MPE2013)
is a world-wide initiative that will highlight the contributions made
by mathematics in tackling global problems, including natural disasters
such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis; climate change;
sustainability; and pandemics. MPE2013 partners will sponsor workshops,
research conferences, public lectures, outreach events, and educational
opportunities for all ages. You can read more at Mathematics of Planet Earth.
The CRM will also organize the following activities during 2013:
The CRM, a collaborating institute, started the program with the organization, earlier this year, of the Research program on the Mathematics of Biodiversity, which took place from June 18 to July 20. The program included the Exploratory Conference on the Mathematics of Biodiversity, which took place from July 2 to 6.

Tenure Track Position in Scientific Computing
Job description
We are looking for a research scientist in scientific computing, with an expertise in modelling of physical, chemical or engineering problems on a micro- to mesoscopic scale, with time dependent partial differential equations and/or Monte Carlo methods. You should bring a strong expertise in computational methods, and be interested to contribute to research on sustainable energy supply which is now one of the five strategic themes at CWI and a top sector in Dutch science policy.
You will become member of the Multiscale Dynamics group who presently mostly focuses on modelling plasmas in thunderstorm related discharges as well as in high voltage engineering and applied nonequilibrium plasma physics, with some of these topics relevant to energy research. You will interact with the group on computational issues, and you can either join our plasma research or develop your own application field. This will also depend on the funding that can be found.
CWI presently has four research groups in the field of scientific computing, with a strong track record in atmospheric electricity and circulation, life sciences, plasma technology, fluid dynamics in the context of windmills and aviation, financial mathematics and image reconstruction.
