For this first summer school, will be held in the Mathematics Department of Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon, from June 16-20, 2008. This year we have chosen the topic "Dynamical Systems" with particular emphasis on pure and applied Hamiltonian dynamics. The faculty for this school (B. Engquist, A. Fathi, R. de la Llave and Konstantin Khanin) are internationally known experts. We believe that their courses will be extremely useful for Ph.D. students, postdocs and established researchers who would like to broaden their knowledge in this very active area of research. More information and online registration are available from: http://math.utaustinportugal.org/summer08/ ------ Subject: Postions at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles From: Gossez Jean-Pierre Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 22:03:22 +0100 (CET) Academic positions at the Mathematics Department of the Universit\'e Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) Two academic positions will be available starting October 2008, one in Partial Differential Equations and one in Biostatistics.

Candidates are expected to teach in French at the Bachelor and Master levels and to interact scientifically with other Department members. Candidates with a moderate knowledge of French may also apply if they are ready to become fluent within one year. For the position in Biostatistics, candidates are expected to create a Master in Biostatistics. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and a list of publications as soon as possible, and at any rate before April 15, to one of the appropriate addresses below where further information can be obtained.
