The "Mathematical Finance Group" is looking for a PostDoc with a strong interest and research experience in the "Applications of stochastic processes in finance". This position is expected to be available from March 1, 2004. Further information can be obtained from one of the group leaders Prof. Gerhard Larcher <gerhard.larcher(a)jku.at> Prof. Walter Schachermayer <wschach(a)fam.tuwien.ac.at> The "Scientific computing - Optimization and Control Group" is searching two PostDocs with a strong background in applications to partial differential equations or variational problems. For information contact Prof.K. Kunisch at: karl.kunisch(a)uni-graz.at PostDocs interested to work in one of the other research areas are encouraged to inquire with the director, Prof. Heinz W. Engl at, heinz.engl(a)oeaw.ac.at For all positions a doctorate in mathematics or a closely related field is required. The working language is English. The positions are initially for up to three years, one renewal for three more years is possible depending on achievements. Two sets of applications with personal and scientific data, copies of relevant documents and a statement about scientific interests and achievements should be sent to Prof. Heinz W. Engl Johann Radon Institute Austrian Academy of Sciences A-4040 Linz Austria
