Applications are invited for a three-year, fixed-term position at Assistant Lecturer level, open to candidates with interests in probability, mathematical statistics, mathematics of operations research, or ergodic theory. The vacancy is in response to Dr Steve Brooks's appointment as an EPSRC Advanced Fellow. The successful applicant will be appointed from 1 October 2001 or before, and will contribute to the teaching and research programmes of the Laboratory. The current age-related scale of stipends is £17,755 to £23,256 a year.

Applications are invited for the position of Research Associate, to work with Professor A. P. Dowling on a fundamental study of acoustic absorbers to eliminate combustion oscillations. These self-excited oscillations arise due to the interaction between acoustic waves and unsteady combustion and currently, the performance of aeroengines and power stations is limited by the onset of these instabilities. The most practical means for control is to dissipate the sound energy. The project is to develop and model novel effective absorbers. Theoretical predictions will be verified by experiments. The project is funded by the European Union as part of the project, PRECCINSTA (PREdiction and Control of Combustion INStabilities in Tubular and Annular Gas Turbine Combustion Systems). The person appointed should have research experience in fluid mechanics and have, or expect to obtain, a Ph.D. Degree in mathematics, engineering, or physics. A background in acoustics would be an advantage.
The appointment will be for a period of one year starting on 1 February 2001, or as soon as possible thereafter. The salary is on the Research Associate scale, up to a maximum of £25,213 a year.
Further information may be obtained from Professor A. P. Dowling, Department of Engineering, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1PZ (tel. +44 (0)1223 332739, fax +44 (0)1223 330282, e-mail kag1000@eng.cam.ac.uk), to whom a letter of application and a curriculum vitae (including the names and addresses of two referees) should be sent so as to reach her not later than 5 January 2001.
This is an opportunity to join a newly-formed EPSRC-sponsored project on MEMS Technology for Silicon Opto-Hybrids, with R. Syms (Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London), and D. Uttamchandani (University of Strathclyde), in close collaboration with four companies in the industry.
The programme aim is to combine the most successful aspects of MEMS to lower the packaging costs of manufacturing opto-electronic hybrids. The overall programme will involve the design, simulation, fabrication, and assessment of a range of simple and also relatively complex mechanisms.
Applications are invited from engineers with a strong academic background and a Master's or a Ph.D. Degree. A strong research interest in miniature devices and thin film technology and its applications to packaging of MEMS and optical components is important. Experience in some of the necessary technologies of metal and insulator depositions, optical lithography, reactive ion etching, anisotropic wet chemical etching, and focused ion beam micro-machining would be desirable.
This appointment will be for a period of two or three years on the Research Associate scale (currently £16,775 to £25,213 a year) at a level determined by qualification, experience, and age. It will start on 1 February 2001 or on a mutually acceptable date soon thereafter.
