It is with great pleasure that I announce that the DinAmicI now have a Twitter profile! https://twitter.com/DinAmicI For the moment the tweets will just be pointers to each new post on the DAI website, with proper hashtagging for fast search. More elaborated and/or fun uses may be envisaged for the future. So follow the @DinAmicI!

The INdAM Doctoral Programme fellowships in Mathematics and/or Applications Cofunded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (INdAM-DP-COFUND-2015) offers fellowships in the framework of the European Horizon 2020 programme “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes”. These fellowships offer to researchers from all over the world the opportunity to enter a PhD School in Italy. Application deadlines: 31 March 2017 (Call 1), TBA (Call 2).

Selection for 4 post-doc research positions named “Junior Visiting Positions”. The positions will concern the following subject matters: Position n. 1: Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory; Position n. 2: Topology, Differential Geometry and Geometric Analysis; Position n. 3: Partial Differential Equations and Probability; Position n. 4: Dynamical Systems, as part of the research project “Dynamics and Information Theory Research Institute” (Convenzione 2014 Scuola-Unicredit S.p.a.). Application deadline: the application must be registered online by 23.

The First DinAmicI Day to be held at Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila is approaching. For people arriving on the 24th, we are meeting at the restaurant “Il primo papavero” for dinner. This is the program of the event (25 November 2016): 9:00-9:50 Mauro Artigiani, “Lagrange spectrum of Veech translation surfaces” 10:00-10:50 Anna Miriam Benini, “Singular values and periodic points” 11:00-11:30 Coffee Break 11:30-12:20 Sara Munday, “Slippery Devil’s Staircases”

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).

Applications are invited for a 3 year Research Associate role in Mathematics, tenable from 1 October 2017 (or a nearby date to be agreed). The aim of this project, funded by EPSRC UK, is to perform cutting edge research in the following two fields of modern probability theory and stochastic processes: (a) random walks and diffusions with long memory (including self-interacting walks, walks in random environment, tracer diffusion in interacting particle systems); (b) stochastic representations in statistical mechanics with special emphasis on quantum spin and particle systems.
