The seventh One World webinar November 17, 2021 The seventh One World webinar, organized by YoungStatS, will be dedicated to Novel Algebraic Approaches to Maximum Likelihood Estimation. Selected young researchers active in the area of algebraic statistics will present their recent contributions on this topic. Frontier Probability Days (FPD’20) December 3-5, 2021 The Frontier Probability Days is a regional workshop, now postponed to 2021 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.
6th IMS Asia Pacific Rim Meeting (to be announced) 2023 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 20 - 23, 2022 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.
International Symposium on Nonparametric Statistics (ISNPS2022) June 20 – 24, 2022 The conference has been postponed to 2022 and it 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.
42nd Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) June 27 - July 1, 2022 Previously scheduled for July 2021, the conference will take place in 2022. SPA Conferences are organized under the 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. This iteration will be hosted by Wuhan University.
33rd European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS 2022) July 18 - 22, 2022
40th Finnish summer school in Probability and Statistics May 23-27, 2022
São Paulo Advanced Science on Singular Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and their Applications August 2-13, 2022
________________________________________ Job Offers
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. Knowledge of the Spanish language is not required for the first years.
