Subject: New Phone Number for NASA Ames Research Center
Effective January 15, 1990, The NASA Ames Research Center telephone
exchanged has changed has changed from prefix "694" to "604".
Main NASA number is: (415) 604-5000. To reach individual extension
dial (415) 604-xxxx.
There is a recording on the old numbers of (415) 694-xxxx, referring
you to the new prefix.

Subject: Research Fellowship at Cambridge
AMOCO RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
(1990--1993)
DAMTP, University of Cambridge, England
This Fellowship is an appointment for up to 3 years in the Numerical
Analysis Group of the Department of Applied Mathematics and
Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, England, endowed by the
Amoco Production Company. Its purpose is to allow the appointee to
pursue research in numerical analysis, there being no restrictions on
the fields of study within this subject.
Applications are invited for the Fellowship. They should include a
curriculum vitae, at most 50 pages of written work of the candidate
that has been published or submitted for publication, a statement of
current research, an indication of future work, and the names of three
referees. This material should arrive in Cambridge not later than
March 16th, 1990. Further, the candidate should arrange for letters
from the referees to be received not later than March 30th. Please
address all correspondence to Professor M.J.D. Powell, DAMTP, Silver
Street, Cambridge CB3 9EW.
At present there are two permanent staff in the NA Group
(M.J.D. Powell and A. Iserles), one research fellow (M.D. Buhmann) and
two Ph.D. students. Their fields of research include multivariable
approximation, optimization algorithms, differential equations of
evolution, iterative methods and orthogonal polynomials. The appointee
will be welcome to collaborate and to initiate new work. Computing
facilities include SUN workstations and access to the university mainframe.
The stipend of the Fellowship is determined by the university scale
for Unestablished Research Workers. At present it is 11736 pounds at
age 26 and 14169 pounds at age 30, for example. The appointment can
begin on any date in the interval June 1st-December 31st, 1990.
Please contact M.J.D. Powell if you require further information by
letter, telephone (0223-337889), e-mail (mjdp%camnum@atm.amtp.cam.ac.uk)
or fax (0223-337918).
