2009 CAIMS*SCMAI Annual Meeting

The 2009 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Applied Mathematical and
Industrial Society will be hosted by the Department of Applied
Mathematics
at the University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario on June
10-14, 2009. The themes of this meeting are

Computational Biomaterials
Complex Fluids
Dynamical Systems
Mathematical Biology
Mathematical Finance
Scientific/Symbolic Computing
Theoretical Physics

There will be seven plenary lectures and numerous invited talks (30
minutes) on the above themes.
In addition to these, we also call for minisymposia on any topics in
applied mathematics. If you are
interested in organizing such a symposium, please submit your proposal
to us by the address given
below. There will also be several contributed sessions, as well as a
poster session for graduate students
to present their research results.

In the meeting, the annual CAIMS Research Prize and CAIMS Doctoral
Dissertation Award will be
presented to the receipients. In addition, student poster prizes will
also be selected and awarded.
The year 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of CAIMS which makes this
meeting more special and more
worth attending. Some activities are being planned, and this gives one
a unique opportunity to know the
history of this society. You are cordially invited to join us in London to celebrate the society’s healthy
growth and great achievements in the past 30 years.

expertise in bioinformatics,
numerical optimization or stochastic modelling are particularly
encouraged to apply, especially those with expertise in
high-performance computing applied to these
areas. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in Mathematics or a
related area, a strong academic background, and a record of excellence
in research.

The Faculty of Science offers an Honours Bachelor of Science degree
program in Applied and Industrial Mathematics; an Honours BSc program
in Bioinformatics
is under development. The Faculty also offers Honours Bachelor of
Science programs in Biological Science, Chemistry, Computing Science,
Forensic Science and
Physics, as well as Concurrent Education and Science programs in conjunction with UOIT’s Faculty of Education. MSc programs in Modelling and
Computational Science, Applied Bioscience, and Materials Science
commenced in 2007.

Applications will be accepted until December 15, 2008 or until a
suitable candidate is found. Applicants should submit in electronic
