\section*{The project} 

The issue to be addressed in this project is the creation of accurate, 
useful and complete mathematical models describing the behaviour of 
the flow of shallow water in an estuary, river or flood, and the 
creeping flow of thin viscous fluids such as paint.  In these examples 
there is potentially an enormous wealth of detail in a full physical 
simulation.  Such a level of detail makes it impossible to simulate in 
full, and thus tractable simple approximations are needed.  
Traditional methods may lead to error.  However, the recent 
development of centre manifold theory and associated techniques can 
put these simpler dynamical models on a firm basis and thereby create 
new and quantitatively accurate models.  The complete project proposal 
is available at 
\begin{center}
\texttt{http://www.sci.usq.edu.au/staff/robertsa/Mech/mech.html}
\end{center}

Candidates must possess a PhD, or have the equivalent experience.  
Their expertise must lie in both areas of modern dynamical systems 
theory and in fluid mechanics, preferably with experience in 
free-surface hydrodynamics.

\section*{The position}

The project is funded by a research grant from the Australian Research 
Council.  The appointment is to commence ASAP and will be offered for 
a limited term of up to three years, depending upon level and 
conditions.

The appointment will be made at Academic Level~A or Level~B depending 
upon expertise,  currently a {\em salary range\/} of 
A\$36,694--A\$43,042 per annum.

A selection will be made according to the following criteria:
\begin{itemize}
   \item  PhD, or equivalent, in a relevant area with a commitment to 
   high quality research;

   \item  expertise in both fluid mechanics and dynamical 
   systems, particularly free-surface hydrodynamics and centre manifolds;

   \item  communication skills;

   \item  energy and initiative;

\end{itemize}
although there will be a preference for Australian residents.  
Applicants should document, in their application, their demonstrated 
ability in the above categories.

Applicants should forward their application by {\bf 20~January, 1997} 
to Prof Tony Roberts (address given above).




\section*{Further information}

The department forms a vital part of a developing regional university 
and offers courses in Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Computer 
Science.  It has a large base of networked {\sc pc}s, teaching 
laboratories with both {\sc dos} and {\sc linux}, an undergraduate 
laboratory of \textsc{dec} alphas, a post-graduate workstation 
laboratory, and has access to supercomputers around Australia.
