Every year, ICTP’s Mathematics section offers research opportunities for outstanding mathematicians from developing countries, including postdoctorates. The section is now accepting applications for its Postdoctoral Fellowships; the deadline is 7 January 2018.

Postdoctoral Fellowships are intended for young mathematicians with a strong research record. Fellows must have completed a PhD in mathematics prior to the start of their fellowship. Women are particularly encouraged to apply. The fellowships have a 12-month duration with a possible extension for a further 12 months; the initial period will be 1 September 2018 - 31 August 2019. Candidates must apply using the online application.

The Department of Mathematics of Università di Bologna has opened a call for two 1-year postdoctoral positions denominated “Starting postdoctoral position in Mathematics and Applications in Sciences, Social Sciences and Engineering”.

The positions are open to all candidates who hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics or Economics, with a preference for applicants who have obtained their Ph.D.’s in recent years.  It is an “open” position in that all research areas that are currently represented in the Department will be considered (see the announcement for a list of them).

Dr Jonathan Ben-Artzi  is advertising PhD studentships in Cardiff that are fully funded for 3.5 years for EU nationals.

Dr Ben-Artzi is keen to advise on problems in kinetic theory and dynamical systems, in particular long time behaviour.

Anyone interested should contact ben-artzij@cardiff.ac.uk.

The deadline is in January.

The Hooke and Titchmarsh fellowships have now been advertised:

https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/26956  (Hooke - up to 3 positions, in applied mathematics)https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/26957  (Titchmarsh

• up to 4 positions, in pure mathematics)

These are 3-year independent fellowships,  research focussed with some light teaching.

Deadline is 8th December.

Applications are warmly invited for 1 position as “Junior assistant professor” (Ricercatore a Tempo Determinato di tipo A) in “Mathematical Physics” at the University of Pisa.  The duration is 3 years.

The position carries a teaching load in Italian of up to 60 hours per year.

Deadline: applications should arrive before 4th December.

The instructions to apply may be found in the announcement (selection code A_15): https://alboufficiale.unipi.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Bando_a_19_posti-2017_albo.pdf

2 job vacancies at the Department of Mathematics “Tullio levi-Civita” at the University of Padova

The offered positions are 2 Assistant Professorships (non tenure-track)

• “Ricercatore a Tempo determinato lett. a) L. 240/2010”- .

The time commitment is for 3 years.

The positions are funded by the ERC project “Stable and Chaotic Motions in the Planetary Problem”. The project is around KAM, Nekhorossev and instabilities theories in planetary systems. The winner candidate will be part of the team of the project and will work around its themes. There will be a serious teaching activity (in Italian), as it is common in this kind of positions (usually, about 60 hours per year).

Institut de Mathematiques de Marseille announces CNRS ERC Post-Doctoral Research Positions in Mathematics.

The positions are within the project “Intermediate Chaos” funded by the European Research Council, PI: Alexander Bufetov.

The project is devoted to ergodic theory and probability, with an emphasis on point processes.

Applicants should have a PhD degree at the time of starting the job. Applicants are advised to include the following: - cover letter / statement of purpose; - research statement; - CV and list of publications. These materials can be uploaded on mathjobs or sent directly to the address erc-chaos@math.cnrs.fr. Applicants should arrange for at least two recommendation letters to be uploaded on mathjobs or sent directly to the address erc-chaos@math.cnrs.fr.

Position n. 4: Dynamical Systems, as part of the research project “Dynamics and Information Theory Research Institute” (Convenzione 2014 Scuola-Unicredit S.p.a.).
