Sanchez Umbria" Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2013 14:52:18 +0200 Dear Colleagues, We are organizing a Minisimposium entlited: Dynamical Systems Approaches in Fluid Mechanics in the framework of the next 11th. World Congress on Computational Mechanics/ 5th. European Conference on Computational Mechanics/ 6th. European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (WCCM-ECCM-ECFD2014) http://www.wccm-eccm-ecfd2014.org/frontal/default.asp to be held in Barcelona next year (20-25 July 2014). The Minisimposium will consist on a minimum of six presentations (20 minutes). The number of sessions (2 hours) of each Minisymposium will be determined by the multiples of six papers submitted. In coordination with the Scientific Committee some contributed papers (30 minutes) may be assigned to the Minisymposia. We would like you to consider sending your abstracts to the Minisimposium. They must be submitted electronically via the conference website by November 29, 2013. You will have to register first. We look forward to hearing from you and see you next year in Barcelona. Best regards, J. Sanchez, M. Net, and D. Puijaner ------ Subject: Summer School on Geometry of Differential Equations From: Summer School 2013 Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:20:05 +0400 (MSK) Dear Collegues, This is to announce a Summer school on geometry of differential equations http://gdeq.org/The_2nd_summer_school_on_geometry_of_differential_equations which will take place 9-13 September 2013 in Opava (Czech Republic). Sincerely yours, Organizing Committee school-gde@math.slu.cz ------ Subject: Positions in Dynamical Systems and Stochastics of Large Systems From: Henk Broer Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2013 23:11:14 +0200 The Johann Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Groningen invites applications for Tenure Track Assistant Professor positions in/Dynamical Systems & Applications/ and in/Stochastics of Large Systems/ One position is in Dynamical Systems and Applications in the broadest sense. The expertise may range from fundamental aspects to computational ones with applications in various application areas. The expertise may include elements of the disciplines Analysis, Geometry, Measure Theory and Computational Science. In particular this concerns Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, Ergodic Theory, Numerical Mathematics and Fluid Dynamics. The theory aims at providing tools for the analysis of complex dynamics and at mathematically explaining the complexity hidden behind terms as unpredictability, chaos and turbulence. Here computational aspects can play an important role. Application areas are Mechanics (including Celestial Mechanics, e.g.), Physics, including Meteorology, Engineering, Life and Medical Sciences. The other position concerns Stochastics of Large Systems that touches on the areas of Probability and Mathematical Physics. Large Systems with interactions occur in Statistical Physics and, generally, in coupled cell networks as these occur in Biology as well as in Medical, Economic and Social Sciences. Mathematical tools originate from Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes, Ergodic Theory and include Gibbs measures, interacting particle systems, graphs and network theory. The theory aims to explain global phenomena as emerging from the behaviour of local constituents. The appointment will be on a temporary basis for a maximum of 6 years. On completion of 5 years of employment there will be an assessment of performance based on established criteria including research and teaching qualifications. If the outcome of the assessment is positive, the assistant professor will be promoted to the rank of associate professor with tenure. At the end of a further 4-7 year period there will be another assessment aimed at a promotion to full professor. These vacancies are part of an incentive by which twelve tenure track positions in mathematics will become available at Dutch universities and research institutes, made possible by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science via the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). For information you can contact: Prof. H.W. Broer, Scientific Director of the Johann Bernoulli Institute, +31 50 3633959, h.w.broer@rug.nl (please do not use for applications) Closing date for applications: 15 July 2013.

The main research fields of the Department are mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, stochastics, discrete mathematics and systems and operations research. The appointed candidates are expected to enlarge and strengthen the research profile of the Department. Both positions include teaching duties. Through the first position, the Department seeks primarily to continue and further strengthen its highly visible profile in the area of numerical analysis. This area is not narrowly defined and applicants from related areas of mathematics are also encouraged to apply. Through the second position, the Department seeks to enrich its research profile and consequently applications are welcome from all areas of mathematics. More information about these positions and the application process is at http://www.aalto.fi/en/current/jobs/professors/two_tenure_track_or_tenured_positions_in_mathematics/ For information about the Aalto tenure track career system, please consult http://www.aalto.fi/en/about/careers/tenure_track/ ------ Subject: Tenure Track Positions, Utrecht Univ From: Jason Frank Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:47:27 +0200 The Mathematical Institute of Utrecht University invites applications for the positions of Two assistant professors of Mathematics (tenure-track) We are searching for one new colleague in the division of Fundamental Mathematics, whose expertise is in connection with geometry and/or mathematical physics, in the broadest sense. This comprises, but is not limited to, algebraic geometry, automorphic forms, differential geometry, geometric analysis, and non-commutative geometry. We are searching for another new colleague in the division of Mathematical Modelling whose expertise is in dynamical systems in connection with computational mathematics, in the broadest sense. This comprises, but is not limited to, applied analysis, numerical bifurcation theory and scientific computing. Areas of interdisciplinary research include atmosphere/ocean sciences, computational life sciences and mathematical biology. The appointments are at the level of assistant professor ('universitair docent', lecturer), initially for a period of 5 years. A review takes place after 4 years. In case of a positive evaluation, the position becomes permanent. The vacancies are part of an incentive by which twelve tenure track positions in mathematics will become available at Dutch universities and research institutes, made possible by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science via the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). Utrecht University specifically encourages female candidates to apply. Closing date for applications: 7 July 2013.
