Postdoctoral Position Theoretical and Computational Physics Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal A postdoctoral position is immediately available to work on a project involving modelling of epidemic spread at the Centro de Fisica Teorica e Computacional da Universidade de Lisboa (see cftc.cii.fc.ul.pt/RESEARCH/projects.htm) The objective is to develop computational tools to study spatially extented models of epidemic spread, combining the techniques of non-linear partial differential equations, dynamical systems and statistical physics, that we are using on a variety of current projects, with emphasis on simulations of cellular automata and/or small-world networks. Applicants should have a PhD in physics, applied mathematics, chemistry or engineering, with experience in scientific computing, preferably non-linear dynamics or statistical physics simulations. Experience of parallel computing will be a plus. The salary is approximately 1500 euros per month. Reconduction for an additional year is possible.
