There is an opening for a postdoc position in the Applied Mathematics 
Department at the University of California, Merced, in Professor Noemi 
Petra's research group.  The postdoctoral researcher will work under an 
NSF-funded Collaborative Research (with UC Merced, UT Austin and MIT) 
entitled: "Integrating Data with Complex Predictive Models under 
Uncertainty: An Extensible Software Framework for Large-Scale Bayesian 
Inversion" (see https://hippylib.github.io for a general overview of the 
project).

The postdoctoral researcher will perform research in the field of 
large-scale Bayesian inverse problems, and work on the implementation of 
new features in hIPPYlib. The postdoc will contribute to the research 
dissemination and will also help build the user/developer community by 
attending and speaking at conferences, workshops and summer schools at 
local and international events.

The postdoc position comes with no teaching requirement and is available 
with a flexible start date. The initial appointment will be for one 
year, with the possibility of extension depending on performance and 
funding. Applications submitted before January 31, 2019 will receive 
full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position 
is filled.

Interested candidates should contact Noemi Petra at npetra at ucmerced.edu 
and/or apply at:
