More specifically, the student will design and test algorithms and numerical methods using the C programming language, and design and test user interface enhancements using the Delphi programming language. The student will also identify mathematical descriptions of proposed reaction mechanisms for the case studies, to be assembled from the existing research literature. This position is full-time (40 hrs. per week), with an estimated start date of January 2004 and continuing through the end of December 2004. The principal duty station is at the NHSRC in Cincinnati, OH. The successful candidate must undergo a background and fingerprint check.
