Post Doctoral Opportunity at Clarkson University in Dynamical Systems. The Post Doc will work closely with Professors Bollt and Skufca in fundamental theoretical and applied problems in dynamical systems. Opportunities to work with others in the group. Opportunities to teach if there is interest. In the group, we have developed an important advancement relating modeling and dynamical systems called defect measure and mostly conjugacy.

See: Joseph D Skufca, Erik M Bollt, "Relaxing Conjugacy To Fit Modelling in Dynamical Systems," Physical Review E, 76 026220 (2007).

Joseph D. Skufca, Erik M. Bollt, "A Concept of Homeomorphic Defect for Defining Mostly Conjugate Dynamical Systems," Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 18 013118 (2008).

This is an ongoing development with many open directions in which the post doc will participate, as well as the general activities of the group. This position requires knowledge or development of skills in dynamical systems, analysis and measure theory, as well as analytical and numerical methods. It is suitable for candidates whose interest is more in mathematical modeling than in the specific application. Candidates with appropriate backgrounds from applied mathematics, engineering, or physics are encouraged to apply. This position is initially posted for one year, permitting a second year upon mutual agreement. There is also possibility of some teaching assignment if this is desirable to the candidate for career development.
