The School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Sydney advertises a postdoctoral position in dynamical systems within a five-year Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship project led by Gary Froyland.

The project aims to develop new methods for the analysis of dynamical systems, drawing on functional analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, differential geometry, data science, and machine learning. Possible research topics include linear response, statistical limit laws, random and nonautonomous dynamical systems, spectral analysis, data-driven dynamics, stability and perturbation theory, and rigorous numerics.

The conference Holomorphic Dynamics: Recent Advances and Perspectives (HoloDyn:RAP) will take place on April 26–30, 2027, at Hotel S’Agaró on the Costa Brava, Catalunya (Spain).

The meeting will celebrate Núria Fagella’s 60th birthday and the 25th anniversary of the Barcelona HoloDyn group. It will bring together researchers from across complex dynamics, with particular encouragement for PhD students and early-career researchers to participate.

Because accommodation at the hotel is limited, prospective participants are asked to complete the non-binding pre-registration form available on the conference website.

The fifth edition of the Barcelona Mathematical Days (BMD 2026) will take place at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans in Barcelona from October 7 to 9, 2026.

BMD is the triennial international research conference of the Catalan Mathematical Society and covers a broad range of current topics in mathematics.

The plenary speakers will be:

• Marco Abate (University of Pisa)
• Ruth Charney (Brandeis University)
• Dan Crisan (Imperial College London)
• Xavier Ros-Oton (University of Barcelona)

The program will also include eight thematic sessions, covering combinatorics, dynamical systems, group theory, analysis and PDEs, mathematical modeling, arithmetic geometry, stochastic analysis, and topological data analysis. A special session connected with MOSS, the Mathematics Online Seminar Series of the EMS Young Academy, will also be held.

The 2026 edition of the online Zoom lecture series Computational Methods in Dynamical Systems will take place from August 31 to September 4, 2026, as part of the Hokkaido Summer Institute program at Hokkaido University.

The aim of the lecture series is to introduce software libraries and the underlying theory that provide tools for computer-assisted proofs, rigorous computation, and nonrigorous numerical investigation of problems in dynamical systems.

The program will include:

We are happy to announce the ninth edition of our workshop DinAmicI IX!

This is the biennial workshop of DinAmicI, the Italian (and not) network of researchers in dynamical systems.

After the previous workshop overseas, at IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, we are back in Italy. DinAmicI IX will take place at the Centro De Giorgi, Pisa over the period October 19-22, 2026.

All information is available at the website: https://indico.sns.it/event/146/

Deadline for registration: August 25, 2026.

The Mathematics Institute of the University of Vienna advertises a a PhD position starting November 1st 2026 (or first available date after that) supervised by Professor Henk Bruin on a project involving billiard dynamics.

This position is for 3 years, with extension of up to one year subject to financial conditions in 2029-2030, and should lead to obtaining the degree of PhD.

Salary level: Salary is paid in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement (B1, 30h/week). In Vienna a PhD position is standard for 30 hours per week, and the rest is meant to follow courses for at least 25 ECTS for the duration of the position (i.e., up to the thesis defense).

The selection committee of the Michael Brin Dynamical Systems Prize for Young Mathematicians is seeking nominations of outstanding candidates for the 2026 prize (the 6th edition) which will be awarded this Fall.

The prize was established by Anatole Katok in the fall of 2015 to recognize outstanding contributions to dynamical systems made by researchers within a few years of their Ph.D. The eligibility for the prize is limited to researchers within 4 years of their Ph.D. at the beginning of the prize calendar year. Work not yet accepted for publication in refereed journals can be considered for the award. However, complete proofs must be available as preprints.

The Long Run–Topics in Ergodic Theory is a new international online seminar organized by Ilia Binder, Jacopo De Simoi, Zhiqiang Li, Federico Rodriguez-Hertz, and Mariusz Urbański. The seminar focuses on ergodic theory and runs on the second Tuesday of each month, featuring two speakers each time.

The organizers invite anyone interested to participate and to volunteer talks.

To get notified of upcoming seminars, send an email to subscribethelongrun@hotmail.com with the subject “Subscribe”.

The conference Recent Trends in Ergodic Theory, Symbolic Dynamics, and Connections to Combinatorics will take place on August 31 - September 4, 2026 at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, USA, in celebration of Bryna Kra’s 60th birthday.
