In collaboration with the Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of Geneva and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, the Group of Applied Physics at the University of Geneva invites applications for a PhD studentship as part of an exciting new research project entitled:

NET4TIP: Network Approaches to Climate Tipping Mechanisms

Deadline for application: January 4th, 2026

Duration: 4 years

Location: Geneva, Switzerland

To submit an application, please see the announcement at the following link: https://www.unige.ch/gap/nonlinear/news/new-phd-position

The Mathematics Department at Oregon State University invites applications for one full-time 12-month Postdoctoral Scholar position in Dynamical Systems beginning September 16, 2026 and ending September 15, 2027. Renewal for up to two additional years is available pending satisfactory completion of assigned duties. Renewals are also subject to the budgetary and/or operational conditions of the Department and University. The position carries a teaching load of four to five (4-5) quarter courses per year and is supported by a formal faculty mentoring program. Applicants should have a PhD in Mathematics or a related field by the anticipated starting date and received no earlier than September 15, 2021.

This is to advertise a PhD position at University of Exeter under the supervision of Tanja Schindler and Mark Holland with a start in September 2026.

Details of the project “Properties of dynamical systems with an infinite invariant measure and an unbounded observable” can be found here: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/v8media/recruitmentsites/documents/studentshipprojects/Properties_of_dynamical_systems_with_an_infinite_invariant_measure_and_an_unbounded_observable_-_Schindler_-_Mathematics_and_Statistics-1.pdf

and here are details of the application process : https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/award/?id=5741

Deadline for the application: 12 January 2026, midday, UK time

Please note that while UK students are given priority for the advertised studentships, they are open to any student meeting the academic criteria. It is recommended (but not a requirement) that prospective applicants get in contact with Tanja Schindler before applying.

Following up on our previous post, we are happy to announce that the Sixth DAI Day, taking place on December 19, 2025 in Padova, now has a web page and the full program is ready.

The scientific program will begin at 9:30am to end at 3:15pm. Afterwards, there will be the official assembly of the UMI Group DinAmicI from 3:30pm until 4:30pm.

If you are interested in joining the meeting, please reach out to one of the organizers: Olga Bernardi, Claudio Bonanno, Simone Paleari

This is the announcement of the conference “Dynamics, Number theory and Probability” that will be held at the University of Exeter (UK), from February 11 to 12th, 2026.

The conference is a two day event showing new directions combining ergodic theory and dynamical systems with number theory and probability theory. In order to make the talks more accessible for younger researchers (in particular last year undergraduate students and PhD students) there will be some introductory talks before the start of the conference.

This is the announcement of the two related conferences “Stability of Hamiltonian systems and beyond” and “FassòFest" that will be held at the Department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita” of the University of Padova (Italy), from January 26 to 31st, 2026.

The two conferences will focus on the most important theoretical aspects in the study of Hamiltonian systems and their stability properties, specifically motivated by the quest for extending this analysis and the available tools beyond the current range of applicability, including to certain types of non Hamiltonian systems. The conference FassòFest will be a celebration of our colleague and friend Francesco Fassò on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

The 2026 General Meeting of European Women in Mathematics will take place from 31 August to 4 September 2026 at the University of Warwick (UK). Save the date!

In addition to colloquium-style plenary talks and other activities, the programme will also include parallel sessions of more specialized minisymposia. This announcement is also a call for mini-symposia. Minisymposia should consist of six talks of twenty minutes each. To propose a minisymposium, send a brief (1-2 pages) pdf with a brief discussion of the area, and your proposed speakers to EWM2026GeneralMeeting@europeanwomeninmaths.org. A majority of your speakers and organisers should identify as women.

This is to advertise a postdoc (initially 2 years, extendable to 3+ years) in dynamical systems as part of a small centre.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research within a five-year Laureate Fellow project funded by the Australian Research Council and UNSW Sydney. The project seeks to advance the analysis of dynamical systems through the development of novel techniques in functional analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, differential geometry, and/or data science. Specific topics of focus include, but are not limited to, linear response, random and nonautonomous dynamical systems, spectral analysis, machine learning, data-driven dynamics, stability/perturbation theory/rigorous numerics. Possible applications of the new theory include the analysis of spatiotemporal data arising from weather and climate observations/models and from models of social dynamics. Motivating aims include the discovery and analysis of hidden large-scale patterns in data/models, elucidating mechanisms underlying the emergence of these large-scale phenomena and their response to perturbations, and devising reliable automatic schemes for predicting this emergence and quantifying their response.

We are happy to announce that the Sixth DAI Day will take place on December 19, 2025 in Padova.

As is tradition by now, there will be seminars and the official assembly of the UMI Group DinAmicI.

The scientific program will begin at 9:30am and end at 3:30pm, approximately. The speakers will be Stefano Baranzini (Università di Torino), Maura Brunetti (Université de Genève), Roberto Castorrini (Università della Tuscia), and Alessandra Nardi (Università degli Studi di Padova).

As a follow up to the first announcement, it’s a pleasure to communicate that the registrations for the CIME summer school on “New Challenges in Celestial Mechanics” which will take place on June 6-10, 2026 at Hotel San Michele, Cetraro (Italy), are now open with deadline on April 15th, 2026.

The school will consist of four mini-courses: Alain Albouy, “The changes of time in classical and celestial mechanics, from the examples”; Kostantin Batygin, “Orbital Dynamics of the Trans-Neptunian Solar System”; Alessandra Celletti, “Perturbative methods in Celestial Mechanics”; Marian Gidea, “Arnold Diffusion in Celestial Mechanics”.
