Postdoctoral Research Associate in
Computational Photonics
The Computer Science and Electrical Engineering department of the
University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) is seeking a
Postdoctoral Research Associate in the area of Computational Photonics.
The successful candidate will develop and validate computational
models of opto-electronic oscillators, short-pulse, modelocked
lasers, and possibly photonics crystal fibers. The research will
involve close collaboration with experimentalists. More information
about research in Computational Photonics at UMBC can be found at
http://www.photonics.umbc.edu/
This position is available immediately. The initial appointment is
for one year, with the possibility of renewal for additional years.
A Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, or Electrical
Engineering is required. Preference will be given to candidates
with experience in computational methods for solving partial and
ordinary differential equations, a strong background in physics and
mathematics, and a strong interest in mentoring PhD students.
Experience in the modeling of optical systems is useful but not required.
Interested applicants should email a CV and the names and contact
information of three professional references to both Curtis Menyuk
(menyuk@umbc.edu) and John Zweck (zweck@umbc.edu). For best
consideration, applications should be received by June 15th, 2009.
However, applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
