This series of courses aims at training their participants both theoretically and in applications in the field of the nonlinear science; with the aim that theory and applications enforce each other. This will be done in an atmosphere of informal discussion, interchange of ideas and critical discussion of results. Attention will be paid to the numerical and computational issues. These Winter Schools should help the basic training of young researchers, whilst opening new fields for senior ones. As in the previous editions the School will consist of three courses: * Alessandra Celletti (Universita degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata) Perturbation theory, KAM theorem and celestial mechanics. * Ronnie Pavlov (University of Denver) Multidimensional symbolic dynamics. * Juan Sanchez Umbria (Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya) Numerical methods for large-scale dissipative dynamical systems. The registration fee is 325 euros. It includes attendance, coffee breaks, lunches and materials. People registering early are entitled to have a reduced fee of 275 euros. As usual, there will be a number of registration and registration + accommodation grants for young participants. The deadlines are the following: - Registration Period: from September 1, 2015 to January 15, 2016. - Payment of Registration Fee: from September 1, 2015 to January 15, 2016. - Registration Period with reduced fee: before November 27, 2015. - Payment with Reduced Fee: before November 27, 2015. - Application for financial support: before November 27, 2015. - Communication, by e-mail, of conceded grants: before December 4, 2015.

The appointments will augment our existing strengths within the newly established System Analytics Research Institute and the Nonlinearity and Complexity Research Group in statistical pattern processing, machine learning, statistical physics and dynamical modelling of complex systems (http://www.aston.ac.uk/ncrg) and would ideally be in the broad area of probabilistic data modelling. We are seeking strong enthusiastic applicants keen to develop their international research profiles and their own research teams. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant discipline, e.g. Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or related subject, and experience of initiating, conducting and leading independent research. They should also have experience of supervising undergraduate and postgraduate projects and engaging with external individuals and groups. We are looking for individuals with a proven track record of publications in internationally excellent journals and conferences. The new appointees will be joining the Mathematics team in delivering our quality applied mathematics degree programmes at undergraduate and graduate levels as well as developing their research profiles. You will have the opportunity to supervise undergraduate and postgraduate projects, be involved with our mathematics student society activities, and also to engage externally through contributing to industrial networks, masterclasses and summer schools.
