DinAmicI IX

We are happy to announce the ninth edition of our workshop DinAmicI IX!

This is the biennial workshop of DinAmicI, the Italian (and not) group of dynamical systems.

After the previous workshop overseas, at IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, we are back in Italy. DinAmicI IX will take place at the Centro De Giorgi, Pisa on October 19-22, 2026.

All information is available at the website: https://indico.sns.it/event/146/

Deadline for registration: August 25, 2026.

PhD position at University of Vienna

The Mathematics Institute of the University of Vienna advertises a a PhD position starting November 1st 2026 (or first available date after that) supervised by Professor Henk Bruin on a project involving billiard dynamics.

This position is for 3 years, with extension of up to one year subject to financial conditions in 2029-2030, and should lead to obtaining the degree of PhD.

Salary level: Salary is paid in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement (B1, 30h/week). In Vienna a PhD position is standard for 30 hours per week, and the rest is meant to follow courses for at least 25 ECTS for the duration of the position (i.e., up to the thesis defense).

Nominations sought for the Michael Brin Dynamical Systems Prize for Young Mathematicians 2026

The selection committee of the Michael Brin Dynamical Systems Prize for Young Mathematicians is seeking nominations of outstanding candidates for the 2026 prize (the 6th edition) which will be awarded this Fall.

The prize was established by Anatole Katok in the fall of 2015 to recognize outstanding contributions to dynamical systems made by researchers within a few years of their Ph.D. The eligibility for the prize is limited to researchers within 4 years of their Ph.D. at the beginning of the prize calendar year. Work not yet accepted for publication in refereed journals can be considered for the award. However, complete proofs must be available as preprints.

New online seminar series: The Long Run--Topics in Ergodic Theory

The Long Run–Topics in Ergodic Theory is a new international online seminar organized by Ilia Binder, Jacopo De Simoi, Zhiqiang Li, Federico Rodriguez-Hertz, and Mariusz Urbański. The seminar focuses on ergodic theory and runs on the second Tuesday of each month, featuring two speakers each time.

The organizers invite anyone interested to participate and to volunteer talks.

To get notified of upcoming seminars, send an email to subscribethelongrun@hotmail.com with the subject “Subscribe”.

Two-year postdoc at UNSW Sydney

 [expired]

The School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Sydney advertises a two-year postdoctoral position.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research within a 3+ year Australian Research Council Discovery Project at UNSW Sydney. The project seeks to advance the field of extreme value theory for random dynamical systems through the development of novel techniques in functional analysis, operator theory, and ergodic theory. Applications of the new theory will include the analysis of nonstationary spatiotemporal data arising from weather and climate observations/models.
