The Conference aims at providing a forum to discuss the latest advances in the study of complex systems and networks in a variety of fields, ranging from Physics and Mathematics to Biological, Engineering and Techno-social Systems. Below, we briefly mention, although not exhaustively, a few of the key areas and problems that will be covered during the Conference. All topics that fit within the science of Complexity and Networks are welcome. MAIN TRACKS: Foundations of Complex Systems Complexity in Biological Systems Ecological Systems: Future Directions Contagion Processes and Epidemic Spreading Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Infrastructure, Planning and Environment Multiplex Networks and Applications Economics and Finance Collective Behavior Evolutionary Game Theory CALL FOR ABSTRACTS We invite you to submit a one-page abstract including one (mandatory) descriptive figure and caption no later than October 10th, 2017, via our EasyChair submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bifi18 ------ Subject: Postdoc position, statistical physics / computational biology From: Martin Weigt Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 14:49:48 +020 We are seeking candidates for a postdoctoral research position at the interface between statistical physics and computational biology. The postdoc will work in collaboration with Martin Weigt (UPMC) and Francesco Zamponi (ENS Paris), on statistical-physics inspired data-driven modelling approaches to the evolution and coevolution of proteins. The scientific project concerns in particular the study of the impact of phylogenetic effects on the Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA), both in stylized toy models and in real protein sequence alignment data. We will use methods from statistical physics and statistical inference. Most of the work will likely be computational, although some analytic calculations might also be performed. A background in statistical or biological physics is required. The candidate should have a general interest in working with biological data, but no prior background in biology is needed. Applications are welcome at any time, until the position is filled. Please send an email to francesco.zamponi@lpt.ens.fr and martin.weigt@upmc.fr, containing your CV and, if you wish, other application material such as research statement, etc. Please use the email subject "Application YOUR_NAME YOUR_SURNAME". Recommendation letters (at least two and no more that four) should be sent to the same addresses with the same subject. Alternatively, the complete application package (including recommendation letters) can be sent through AcademicJobsOnLine at this address: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/edelivery/2361 Applications from young candidates (for a first postdoc after the PhD), women, and underrepresented minorities are especially welcome. ------ Subject: Postdoc Position, Computational and Applied Mathematics From: Daniel Szyld Date: September 19, 2017 We encourage applications for a postdoc position in "Computational and Applied Mathematics." This includes, Numerical Linear Algebra, Numerical PDEs, Computational Science, Mathematical Biology, Scientific Computing, and Computational Modeling. The best applications are those where there is a clear match with a mentor faculty member from the Department (www.math.temple.edu). Feel free to contact the appropriate faculty member if you have questions, or simply to explore common interests. The official ad from mathjobs #10742 reads as follows: The Department of Mathematics at Temple University seeks applications for two Postdoctoral Assistant Professors (non-tenure track). Preferred areas for the search are Algebra, Analysis, and Computational and Applied Mathematics, but strong candidates in other areas will be given consideration. The positions are intended for new or recent Ph.D.s with strong research potential and excellent teaching skills. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in mathematics by the time of appointment and will be each paired with a faculty mentor (or mentors) in their research areas. The initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of extension to a third year per mutual agreement. The teaching load is 2-1 in the first two years. Applications should be submitted through mathjobs.org and include the standard AMS Cover Sheet for Academic Employment, a cover letter naming at least one possible mentor, a CV, a research statement, a teaching statement, and four letters of recommendation, one of which should address the candidate's teaching qualifications. Please direct all inquiries to mathematics@temple.edu Screening of applications will begin on December 1st, 2017, and will continue until the position is filled. Temple University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty. We especially encourage applications from women, minority candidates and other underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences. The Department of Mathematics at Temple University abides by the AMS postdoctoral offer response date guidelines. ------ Subject: Permanent Lectureship in Cork, Ireland From: "Wieczorek, Sebastian" Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 09:31:52 +0000 Dear Colleagues, We are advertising a permanent Lectureship in Applied Mathematics at University College Cork https://www.ucc.ie/en/hr/vacancies/academic/full-details-799944-en.html I would be grateful if you could circulate this among people who might be interested in applying.
