This Conference is the second joint meeting of the Conference on Mathematical Population Dynamics (MPD) and the Conference on Deterministic and Stochastic Models for Biological Interactions (DeStoBio), with a 20-year history of international meetings with ever-increasing participation. As in the previous conferences from both series, aim of the meeting is to bring together people from different fields (applied mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, computer scientists, biologists, clinicians, epidemiologists, biomedical scientists, ecologists...) interested in (deterministic and/or stochastic) models for population dynamics and interactions. Population dynamics here is intended in a very wide sense, including everything from populations of animals and plants, to populations of cells or molecules. Hence, topics of the conference will include ecology (including epidemic spread), cell population dynamics (including immunology, tumor growth) and molecular biology (including molecular evolution and genetics, genomics). The meeting will focus on modeling of quantitative data in these fields, analysis of models, and their applications. There will be approximately 12 plenary lectures and several parallel sessions organized by thematic interest. Further information will be available at www.cmpd2.ime.unicamp.br PS: The First Conference on Computational and Mathematical Population Dynamics (CMPD) joining 7th International MPD Conference and DeStoBio 3 was held at Trento (Italy) June 21-25, 2004. ------ Subject: Lectureship at Leeds From: Alastair Rucklidge Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2006 17:41:39 +0000 (GMT) Dear Colleagues, I'd like to draw your attention to a lectureship in Applied Mathematics at the University of Leeds. In keeping with the strategic planning of the School and University we propose to make an appointment in the broad area of Nonlinear or Numerical Applied Mathematics, with preference given to the areas of Computational PDEs, Mathematical Biology and Medicine, Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Numerical Analysis. I'd be very grateful if you could bring this post to the attention of anyone you might feel to be suitable. There are more details on http://www.jobs.ac.uk/jobfiles/YR557.html and http://wwwnotes2.leeds.ac.uk/jobs/unijob.nsf/778c659fe6c55f8880256c01004b076c/52+2f1f9f11fed0bb8025710a003ee859?OpenDocument Best wishes, Alastair ------ Subject: Tenure track positions in Groningen From: H.W.Broer Data: Sat, 11 Feb 2006 14:34:25 +0100 Dear Colleagues, At the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of Groningen University there are two tenure track positions available: one in Dynamical Systems and the other in Applied Analysis.
