Physics programmer position in Boston
The person in this position will be responsible for developing finite element-based soft tissue representations that supportreal-time interaction with surgical tools. The successful candidate should befamiliar with the extensive prior work in the field of surgical simulationincluding finite element formulations (both traditional nonlinear approaches aswell as various real-time approximations), real-time collision detection andresponse between rigid and deformable objects, multi-processor/coreimplementations, and integration with haptics devices. He or she must haveexperience with developing C/C++ code for their own finite elementimplementations or the C/C++ code of open source finite element implementations,with emphasis is on numerical programming and effective performanceoptimization. The successful candidate will work with a similarly skilled teamalready in place.
The position is based in Boston, and there will be little orno travel.

An observation and a query re. Paul Cashman' job posting
Dear Paul,
Normally, I would have begun by thanking you for posting a job ad. But, the circumstances I have been forced to live in are not normal; American companies *have* been *a* part of those who are responsible for creating the situation; you can't expect me to evade this, would you? (BTW, I don't understand why Americans habitually drop the article "a" before "part" in their English writing.)
I could write a novel-length book if I wanted to. (There is enogh of material.) But enough to say that I have noticed Americans' attempt to point out the combination of the words "Howard" and "Champion" together in front of my eye balls. Howard, as in the hero of Ayn Rand's novel "The Fountainhead."
Please leave the above paragraph alone if you don't understand it and please answer this simple question:
Would you consider a 45 year old Indian male without a green card or a valid US visa in his hand and with PhD (thesis submitted) for this job?
Thanks in advance for answering the question.
-- Ajit
PS: If you thought that Maharashtra's and India's IT ministers were also a part of those who are responsible (for the situation of unemployment that I find myself in), you would be right. Also, the Indian companies. But honestly, I also fail to understand how does the completeness in enumeration really matter towards willingness to actually give me a paying job. Anyway, forget this part as well. To reiterate, I would appreciate if you answer the above query.
