ENGL" Subject: for digest Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 Software Competence Center Hagenberg, Austria Call for Applications of Area Manager and other Personnel in Industrial Mathematics The Software Competence Center Hagenberg invites applications for several positions (software engineers, project managers, area managers). The positions require at least a master's degree (Dipl.-Ing. in Austrian terminology) in applied mathematics, software engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or a closely related area. Software development experience in at least one of the areas mentioned below is expected. The Software Competence Center Hagenberg (SCCH) is a competence center in the sense of the Kplus program of the Austrian Federal Government with an annual budget of around 4million US$. The SCCH is a cooperation of five institutes of the Johannes Kepler University in Linz (among them the Industrial Mathematics Institute), two branches of the Polytechnic University (FHS) in Hagenberg, and 15 companies working in various areas of software. The SCCH has started its work at the beginning of July 1999. It is located at Hagenberg (near Linz) in a lovely area of Upper Austria. The goal of the SCCH is to pool competence in the areas - software technology - data base technology - symbolic computation - numerical computation - knowledge based technology by performing industrial and strategic research projects. The work in each of these areas is coordinated and controlled by an area manager under the guidance of a "key researcher". This advertisement is specifically geared at recruiting personnel in the industrial-mathematics-branch of the SCCH; for these positions, experience in mathematical modelling and broad knowledge of numerical mathematics are required. For the position of area manager, a PhD would be expected. Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications. Applications, including a curriculum vitae and a statement detailing experiences and research interests should be sent to: Dr. Klaus Pirklbauer Software Competence Center Hagenberg Hauptstrasse 99 A-4232 Hagenberg Austria Informal enquiries may also be directed to the "key researcher" of the industrial mathematics branch, Prof.Heinz W. Engl, EMail: engl@indmath.uni-linz.ac.at Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Prof.Dr.Heinz W.

ENGL" Subject: for digest Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 The 'Industrial Mathematics Competence Center' is a young and growing institution with the aim of developing mathematical methods and tools for the application in industry and business. It is located at the 'Institute for Industrial Mathematics' at the University of Linz (Austria). For the Systems Identification Branch, we are looking for graduates in mathematics or a closely related field to be included in our scientific staff as soon as possible. Your activities will consist of the development and application of time-series- and system-identification- methods for the analysis and prediction of business data. The methods are developed for specific applications but should be applicable also in a more general context. The fields of application range from logistics to marketing. You will have to deal with a great variety of different problems and will have to show a high sense of responsibility, while working in our young team. In case you have not attained a PhD and do want to achieve this degree in a subject related to the work, this will be a good occasion. We expect your ability to work in a scientific context, excellent skills corresponding to communication and team-work, and of course commitment and dedication to the job. Please submit your application including an indication of your idea of an appropriate salary and the earliest possible date of employment to: Prof. Dr. Manfred Deistler, Institute f. Econometrics, Operations Research and System Theory, TU Wien, Argentinierstr. 8, A-1040 Wien, Austria. Prof.Dr.Heinz W.
