The Computational Science research program at Purdue University is one of seven cooperative research areas within the School of Science that will lead the university forward to "Discover the Future". This will be accomplished through a partnership of multidisciplinary studies and core discipline research that builds on existing strengths in Science and Engineering, and the addition of 10 new distinctive faculty appointments within the next five years. Two hires per year are envisioned at all academic ranks, from Assistant Professor to Distinguished Full Professor. Targeted areas are Modeling of Geophysical Fluid Flow, which includes Porous Media, Mantle Dynamics, Numerical Weather Prediction, Stochastic Modeling, and Turbulence; and Advanced Computational Methods which will address Large Scale Scientific Computing, High Performance Computing, Applied Dynamical Systems, Multiscale Modeling and Computation, and Statistical Methodology. Ideal candidates in these specializations would have achieved (or demonstrated the potential of realizing) national and international stature as innovative researchers with the talent to work with a team that will focus on multi-scale phenomena arising in scientific and engineering applications. The envisioned partnership of scientific and computational methodology will be unprecedented in unraveling the complicated mysteries of fluid behavior. The participating departments in the School of Science are Mathematics, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Computer Science, and Statistics, as well as the Schools of Engineering. Screening of applications will begin on November 1, 2003, and the searches will continue until filled.
