The workshop “Dynamical Systems and Perturbations”, in occasion with Sergei Pilyugin 70th birthday, will take place at the Euler International Mathematical Institute, Saint-Petersburg, on 2-4 October 2017.

The following sessions are planned: - shadowing theory of approximate trajectories - hyperbolicity and structural stability - spaces of dynamical systems and generic dynamics - evolutionary equations - group actions - parameter identifiable systems - free topics.

Limited financial support is available on request.

Postdoctoral position in Dynamical Systems at the University of Exeter

This post is available from 01 November 2017 for 36 months to support the work of Mark Holland.

The University of Exeter is a Russell Group university that combines world-class research with very high levels of student satisfaction. Exeter has over 21,000 students from more than 130 different countries and is in the top 1% of universities in the world with 98% of its research rated as being of international quality. Our research focuses on some of the most fundamental issues facing humankind today.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position (BPD) in Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems within the project PTDC/MAT-CAL/3884/2014 funded by the FCT (Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation).

Applicants must hold a PhD in Mathematics or in a related field, preferably obtained less than 6 years ago and have research experience in at least one of the main research areas of the project.

The initial contract will be for 12 months, possibly extended to 15 months. The expected starting date is October 1, 2017 though some flexibility may be possible. The monthly salary is 1495 euros (tax free). There are no compulsory teaching duties associated with this position.

This year there have been some upgrades to the Italian laws ruling the recruitment in the universities. One of these upgrades concerns the documents required to apply for calls for the positions of “junior or senior RTD” (temporary assistant professor).

The main change is about the document proving the Ph.D. qualification. In particular, some universities (please don’t ask why not all of them) are now asking that participants to a call declare that they have obtained the nostrification of the Ph.D. qualification, or that they have at least sent the request for the nostrification to the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research.

The Ph.D. school in Information Engineering of the University of Florence has recently funded a scholarship in “Topological characterization of network dynamics”. The scholarship falls within the university program in multidisciplinary education, and therefore it is open to graduate students coming from various fields, such as Engineering, Physics and Mathematics. The scholarship lasts 3 years, and it is completely funded during this time. The winner has to attend the Ph.D. school during these years and will have to write a dissertation to earn the PhD degree.

Conference on Hamiltonian Systems, in tribute to the memory of John Mather (1942-2017).

The meeting will take place from 30th october to 3rd november 2017 in Ascona (Switzerland) and it will be generously supported by ETH-ITS Zurich and by “Centro Congressi Stefano Franscini” in Ascona.

The list of invited speakers and other relevant information can be retrieved from the following website: https://www.eth-its.ethz.ch/hamiltonian-systems-csf.html

We will be able to cover lodging/boarding expenses (from sunday evening to friday afternoon) to a number of participants, in the limit of the  maximal occupancy of the conference centre.

The Italian National Institute for Advanced Mathematics (INdAM) calls for 6 Research Projects to be submitted by “Young Researchers”.

The goal of the initiative is to foster the rise of new leaders in mathematical research, who will be able to compete for ERC Starting Grants and similar Research Funding Schemes.

The selected projects will have the duration of 1 year with no possibility of renewal and will be given funds for a postdoctoral position, which might be filled by the applicant him/herself. Each proposal must indicate an institution of reference, among those recognized by INdAM.
