We hope to see a lot of people from the world. Best Regards, Yasuhiro Takeuchi Announcement (free to distribute): International Symposium on Dynamical Systems Theory and Its Applications to Biology and Environmental Sciences March 14-17, 2004 in Hamamatsu city campus of Shizuoka University Symposium Objectives The purpose of "The International Symposium on Dynamical Systems Theory and Its Applications to Biology and Environmental Sciences" is to discuss many interests on the rich properties of dynamical systems appeared in biology and environmental sciences. The symposium constitutes of the lectures by about 30 eminent mathematical biologists and contributed oral or poster sessions. Asian contributors are especially welcome to the symposium. http://yoake.sys.eng.shizuoka.ac.jp/~symposium/ Collections of papers based on the presentations made during the symposium may appear as special issues of international journals and as a book from Springer-Verlag. We already have agreements with Ecological Modeling and J. Comput. Appl. Math and Mathematical Biosciences. Scientific Committee Chair: K. Sigmund (University of Vienna) Co-chair: Y.

The minimum qualifications require an earned Ph.D., significant record of accomplishments in research and evidence of a strong commitment to teaching. Candidates with research emphasis in stochastic analysis and partial differential equations related to fluid dynamics, electromagnetic and acoustic fields in random media, and geophysical phenomena will be given preference. Ability and interest to supervise masters and doctoral students, to collaborate with colleagues in the math department and faculty in related disciplines and to develop a competitive, externally funded, research program is highly desired. The deadline for applications is set for December 15, 2003. A complete application will consist of a letter of application, a complete CV, a statement of research interests and accomplishments and a statement of teaching philosophy. Please forward applications to: The Analysis Search Committee, Department of Mathematics, P.O. Box 3036, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82071-3036. Please have three letters of recommendations one of which should address the candidate's teaching sent directly. For further information please refer to: . Applications from women and minority candidates are encouraged.
