Tenure Track Assistant Professor or a Tenured Associate Professor at EPFL The School of Basic Sciences and the School of Engineering at EPFL seek to appoint a Tenure Track Assistant Professor or a Tenured Associate Professor jointly between the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Materials. Ideal candidates would have a strong interdisciplinary breadth rather than focus on specific subfields. Indicative fields of interest include, but are not restricted to, multi-scale modelling, topological properties of materials, soft matter, efficient and accurate electronic-structure algorithms, statistical mechanics of emergent phenomena, numerical methods for very high dimensional problems, theory of data-driven algorithms applied to materials discovery. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any particular specialization area, and to the demonstrated attitude of the candidate to straddle the divide between rigorous mathematics and impactful applications to material modeling and theory. Candidates should hold a PhD and have an excellent record of scientific accomplishments, commensurate to the level of experience. In addition, commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate, master and doctoral levels is expected. Proficiency in French teaching is not required, but willingness to learn the language is expected.
Two Bernoulli Instructorships in Analysis and in Statistics at EPFL The Institute of Mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) invites applications for two full-time Bernoulli Instructorships in 1) Analysis (including related areas in Stochastics) and 2) Statistics. Bernoulli Instructors are expected to teach courses in their broader domain at all levels (in French or English). The initial teaching load is light, corresponding to half the teaching load of regular faculty, and gradually progresses to the latter. Bernoulli Instructors are expected to develop and sustain an excellent independent research program. They are welcome to collaborate and encouraged to interact with members of the Institute, but they maintain full research independence. They are offered travel support. The EPFL actively aims to increase the presence of women amongst its employees, and female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
Tenure-Track Position in Statistics at CIMAT, Guanajuato, Mexico The Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT-CONACYT: http://www.cimat.mx/ ) in Guanajuato, GTO, Mexico, seeks applications from ambitious, highly motivated and talented individuals with a PhD, earned in the last fifteen years, in the area of Statistics or closely related disciplines for a tenure-track research position, to start any time between May and August 2022. Applicants are expected to be working on modern research fields in statistics, namely one or the intersection of, complex data and/or massive data analyses, complex models, computer intensive methodologies, considering both theory and applications. Additionally to the latter, applicants working in the interface with Probability Theory are specially sought. Applicants must meet the following requirements to be considered for the position: 1) An academic career with scientific achievements in accordance with the length of time passed after the doctorate. Mexican residents must be members of the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) or have the appropriate academic achievements to successfully participate in the next SNI call; 2) Teaching experience in Statistics is desirable, in order to train students at undergraduate, master and doctoral levels.

***Klaus Krickeberg's "Friend of Vietnam" Medal On the July 16, 2018 the President of Vietnam awarded Klaus Krickeberg, former president of the Bernoulli Society, the medal «Friend of Vietnam» for «positive essential contributions to the development of the Vietnamese health sector". The Vietnamese Minister of Health presented him with the medal on February 25, 2019 in a ceremony in her Ministry. Krickeberg had already lectured in 1974 on Stochastic Point Processes to young research mathematicians in Hanoi; they published these lectures in book form. Later on he guided one of them to a Thesis on the “Knox Test”. He then switched gradually to Public Health, which is a very “stochastic” field. For instance, stochastic modeling is an indispensable tool for studying the evolution of infectious diseases in populations, which in turn is the main tool for designing immunization campaigns. By contrast, the main issue in dealing with non-infectious diseases is the study of risk factors, which rests on models in mathematical statistics.

***Bernoulli-IMS 10th World Congress in Probability and Statistics (BS-IMS-WC) August 17 - 21, 2020 Seoul, South Korea The congress is the latest in a series organized jointly by the Bernoulli Society and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Held every four years, the Congress is a worldwide event covering all branches of statistics and probability. This includes theoretical, methodological, applied and computational statistics and probability, as well as stochastic processes. The latest scientific developments in all of these fields are showcased. It will be held at the Seoul National University. Registration is already open and the deadline for abstract submission isMarch 31st, 2020.
***23rd Conference of the Romanian Society of Probability and Statistics April 24 - 25, 2020 Timisoara, Romania Since 1991, the annual conference of the Romanian Society of Probability and Statistics brings together academics and students from Romania and abroad to discuss recent developments in research in probability theory and mathematical statistics. This year, the conference will be held at UPT (Politehnica University of Timisoara).
***Frontier Probability Days (FPD’20) May 8 - 10, 2020 Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://lechen.faculty.unlv.edu/FPD20/ The Frontier Probability Days is a regional workshop, taking place in 2020 at the University of Nevada. Its purpose is to bring together mathematicians, both regionally and globally, who have an interest in probability and its applications. FPD aims to complement other regional conferences in Probability that are held annually elsewhere in the United States.
***International Symposium on Nonparametric Statistics (ISNPS2020) June 15 - 19, 2020 Paphos, Cyprus http://cyprusconferences.org/isnps2020/ The conference will bring forth recent advances and trends in several areas of nonparametric statistics, in order to facilitate the exchange of research ideas, promote collaboration among researchers from all over the world, and contribute to the further development of the field. The program will include plenary talks, special invited talks, invited talks, contributed talks and posters on all areas of nonparametric statistics.
***6th IMS Asia Pacific Rim Meeting January 5 - 8, 2021 Melbourne, Australia The Institute of Mathematical Statistics APRM will provide an excellent forum for scientific communications and collaborations for the researchers in Asia and the Pacific Rim, and promote communications and collaborations between the researchers in this area and those from other parts of the world. The program covers a wide range of topics in statistics and probability, presenting recent developments and the state of the art in a variety of modern research topics and in applications Invited session proposals are now being considered.
***Rényi 100 Conference June 28 - July 1, 2021 Budapest, Hungary Alfréd Rényi was born on the 20th of March 1921. To celebrate this occasion, the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences are organizing a high-profile conference, representing modern probability, graph theory and networks, information theory, dynamical systems, number theory and other fields in Rényi's spirit. That is: not respecting strictly the borders between these and possibly other areas of pure and applied mathematics.
***63rd ISI World Statistics Congress 2021 (ISI-WSC) July 11 - July 15, 2021 Hague, Netherlands The congress series is organized by the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and the Bernoulli Society is participating in the series as an association of ISI. It brings together statisticians and data scientists from academia, health sector and business, junior and senior professionals, in an inviting environment.
***42nd Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA 2021) July 12 - 16, 2021 Wuhan, China SPA Conferences are organized under patronage of the Bernoulli Society and can justifiably be regarded as the most important international scientific meeting on the theory and applications of stochastic processes. They are held annually except for the years when the World Congress in Probability and Statistics takes place. The next iteration will be hosted by Wuhan University.
