Job openings to bring to the attention of potential candidates:

• two 2-year Postdoc positions
• one PhD position 

available at the RWTH Aachen University, starting June 2019, or within  6 months thereafter.

These are mostly research positions, with a  teaching load consisting of exercise sections for undergraduate courses.

For the Postdoc positions, candidates are expected to conduct research  in Symplectic/Contact Topology and/or Symplectic Dynamics, or Systolic Geometry.

The successful candidate for the PhD position will conduct research in  Symplectic Dynamics, comprising the use of methods from Symplectic  Geometry/Topology to study the global structure of Hamiltonian  systems. Among such methods we emphasize Floer Theory and Symplectic  Field Theory.

This is to advertise a 22 month postdoctoral Research Fellow position at the University of St Andrews, commencing on August 1st 2019.  The candidate will work with Kenneth Falconer and Jonathan Fraser on the EPSRC funded project Fourier analytic techniques in geometry and analysis.  Please could you pass this information on to anyone you believe might be interested in applying for the position.  The vacancy can be found here:

ESA have opened the call for university students to participate in the space debris training course for 2019.

The course will be hosted  at the ESA Academy’s Training & Learning Facility in ESEC-Galaxia, Transinne, Belgium, from 13 to 17 May 2019.

University students will be provided with an introduction to the concept of space debris, why it is necessary to address this problem, and how the mitigation policies set by ESA apply to missions.

As part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network, STARDUST-R, the Department of Mathematics of the University of Rome Tor Vergata offers 2 fully funded ESR positions on the following subjects:

1) Dynamics of space debris within different orbital elements regions;

2) Proper elements for Space Debris.
