The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS), with the support of the Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), is inviting
applications from students for the Math in Moscow Scholarship Program.
Two scholarships at $9000 each will be awarded to attend the Math in
Moscow program at the Independent University of Moscow for the *Fall
2014 semester*. Canadian undergraduate students registered in a
mathematics or computer science program are eligible.
The Math in Moscow program provides a fifteen-week-long research
experience for students, not only with other talented and highly
motivated undergraduates, but also with some of the world's leading

The purpose of the ICWM 2014 is to bring together women mathematicians and women in the mathematical sciences from around the world to present mathematical contributions of women, to exchange ideas about supporting and encouraging active careers for women in the mathematical sciences, and to enhance networking opportunities for women in the mathematical sciences.
Our meeting consists of seven invited colloquium talks by leading women mathematicians, a poster session on recent research results, and ICWM-Forum (a panel discussion session highlighting important issues surrounding women in the mathematical sciences). The meeting brochure is available at https://sites.google.com/site/icwm2014/poster for more information. The registration for the meeting will begin on February 1, 2014 through the meeting website _http://www.kwms.or.kr/icwm2014_. The applications for the poster session presentation will also be accepted through the website at the same time. The poster and brochure are available at https://sites.google.com/site/icwm2014/poster for your information.
In order to make this meeting a great success, we need your help. Please announce this meeting to your organization and encourage women mathematicians and women in the mathematical sciences to take part in this meaningful international gathering of women. Your help and your support will be greatly appreciated.

Young researchers are invited to meet Fields medallists and laureates of the Abel, Nevanlinna and Turing prizes during September 21-26 2014. The deadline for applications is February 28 2014: http://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum was held in 2013 for the first time. It
was inspired by the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, which have, since
1950, brought together Nobel Laureates and bright young scientists for
interesting lectures, discussions, interactions. At the HLF the
Laureates are mathematicians and computer scientists -- more precisely,
winners of the Fields Medal, the Nevanlinna Prize, the Abel Prize or the Turing Award.
Below are a few quotes from some of the participants in the 2013 meeting. There are quotes from the Laureates themselves, and from the young researchers; they all attest to the importance they attach to the interaction between young researchers and students and Laureates.
Yet, somehow, young researchers from mathematics are applying in much
smaller numbers than from computer science (Young mathematicians make
up about 20% of the applicants so far, this year).
Please encourage bright young mathematicians to
apply! The deadline is February 28; applications are open to graduate
students (both beginning and advanced) and postdocs.
**********************
De jeunes chercheurs sont invit?s ? rencontrer des m?daill?s Fields et des laur?ats des prix Abel, Nevanlinna et Turing du 21 au 26 septembre 2014. La date d'?ch?ance pour soumettre une candidature est le 28 f?vrier 2014: http://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/
Il semble que tr?s peu de math?maticiens ont soumis leur candidature (20% de math?maticiens contre 80% d'informaticiens).
Merci d'encourager de jeunes math?maticiens brillants ? poser leur candidature. La date limite est le 28 f?vrier. Le forum est ouvert aux ?tudiants de cycles sup?rieurs et aux postdocs.
**********************
Some quotes from young participants in HLF 2013:
"I learned more during that one week than I learned in years."
> Emre Can Sert?z, PhD candidate (Mathematics), Humboldt University Berlin
"I mostly enjoyed these coffee breaks and the receptions and all these situations where one could talk openly with the laureates."
Laura Schaposnik, PostDoc (Mathematics), University of Illinois
"As a student you can be intimidated by the genius of your professor or the genius of a huge person in your field, but being here the laureates really engage with you just as a fellow curious seeker, a fellow thinker." Gwen Spencer (Computer Science), Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire
"I had the unique chance of talking to the best mathematicians and computer scientists." Tim Conrad, PostDoc (Mathematics), Free University Berlin
Quotes from some of the Mathematical Laureates who participated in the 2013 meeting:
"This was a very worthwhile meeting. The students present were the most
impressive bunch I have seen assembled anywhere. Especially these
students had a wide perspective with depth, of science in general. I
certainly enjoyed my exchanges with them, from Brazil, from Pakistan,
from Iran, etc." (Steven Smale)
"The most important part was the chance for the Laureates to talk to
the young researchers. So the views of these younger participants is
crucial." (Michael Atiyah, who added that he felt even more time should
be made in the schedule for these interactions.)
"I had lots of very nice conversations with the students during the
'Informal meetings between young researchers and laureates', and it got
better with the week. These conversations were on my list of 'high
points', of the week, second only after a visit to a local high school
with very bright kids. (Madhu Sudan)
"It is a very useful and interesting event. It also happened to be
excellently organized." (Vladimir Voevodsky)
"It was a very enjoyable week, from many viewpoints. I especially liked
talking to the young students and postdocs. Visiting the high school
was fun and a good idea." (Avi Wigderson)
"The presence of the young students was very motivating"

Subject: [cmath] Ann Kajander recipient of the 2014 Margaret Sinclair
Memorial Award
Message-ID:
February 25 2014, TORONTO - Ann Kajander has been selected as the 2014
recipient of the Margaret Sinclair Memorial Award Recognizing Innovation and
Excellence in Mathematics Education. Dr. Kajander is an Associate Professor
at the Faculty of Education at Lakehead University with a PhD and an MA from
the University of Toronto, following a BSc from Lakehead and a BEd from the
University of Toronto. At the time of her appointment at Lakehead, Dr.
Kajander was teaching at elementary, secondary, and post-secondary level all
at once, in a clear demonstration of her commitment to mathematics education
through direct involvement in research, educational governing bodies, and
the classroom.
Established in 2013, the annual Margaret Sinclair Memorial Award recognizes
an educator in Canada who has demonstrated innovation and excellence in
promoting mathematics education. Candidates for the award show an enthusiasm
for enhancing the learning environment and novel ways of teaching
mathematics, provide opportunities for students to experience mathematics in
a significant way, serve as a role model for other teachers, and have had an
inspirational influence on students and/or colleagues.
Dr. Kajander is an active member of the Fields Institute Math Education
Forum, the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group, the National Council
of Teachers of Mathematics, and the Ontario Association of Mathematics
Educators. She regularly consults professional mathematicians to be sure
that her resources reflect a high mathematical standard, and conversely
maintains contact with a network of teachers to make sure her work is
grounded in the day-to-day realities and challenges of their work. Her
participation as the only Ontario mathematics education researcher in an
NSERC CRYSTAL (Centres for Research in Youth Science, Mathematics and
Engineering Teaching and Learning) reflects her ability and desire to
connect with mathematicians and scientists, mathematics educators, classroom
teachers, teacher candidates, and ultimately students, and is representative
of the types of research and impact that was embodied in the work of
Margaret Sinclair.
After hearing the news about the award, Dr. Kajander wrote: "I am beyond
honoured. One of the things I admired most, of the many things I admired
about Marg, was her energy and enthusiasm for doing the right thing,
regardless of any personal gain or recognition. I am most humbled by this
and grateful to you all."

Message-ID:
"Recent Developments in Adaptive Methods for PDEs", AARMS-CRM Collaborative Workshop and Short Course, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, NL, Canada, Aug 17-22, 2014.
Registration now open!!
Second Call for Participation in: "Recent Developments in Adaptive Methods for PDEs? AARMS-CRM Short Course + Collaborative Workshop, organized by the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) Collaborative Research Group in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, Aug. 17- 22, 2014, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada
St. John?s is the most easterly point and the oldest city in North America. Connected to Canada and the US with direct flights from Toronto, Montreal, Halifax and Newark and a short (4-5 hr) direct flight from Heathrow!
The aim of this workshop is to provide an introduction to the state of the art in theory and practical applications of adaptivity in PDEs. The program will begin with a two-day short course, "Adaptive Methods for the Numerical Solution of PDEs", given by Dr. Weizhang Huang (University of Kansas). The middle component of the program will focus on presentations by researchers whose work may benefit from the use of adaptive techniques for PDEs arising as mathematical models in practical applications. The final segment of the program will feature a workshop format in which breakout teams, consisting of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows led by experts on theoretical or computational aspects of adaptive methods for PDEs, will investigate the process of introducing adaptive techniques into the numerical simulations that arise in the applications identified earlier. The segment will also include several talks by researchers working in adaptivity for PDEs.
There are 3 ways to participate:
+ attend the short course and workshop!
+ present an academic or industrial applied problem which may benefit from the use of adaptive PDE techniques
+ present recent research results on adaptive methods for PDEs and work on the collaborative workshop teams
Registration is required. Partial travel support is available. Further details and registration information are available at
http://www.math.mun.ca/anasc/workshop.html

CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize Lecture: Niky Kamran
Niky Kamran, McGill University, will deliver a talk entitled, "General Relativity, Differential Geometry and Differential Equations; Stories From a Successful Menage-a-trois." The lecture will take place on April 7, 2014 at the University of British Columbia.
Abstract:
It is well known that Einstein's general theory of relativity provides a geometrical description of gravity in terms of space-time curvature. Einstein's theory poses some fascinating and difficult mathematical challenges that have stimulated a great deal of research in geometry and partial differential equations. Important questions include the well-posedness of the evolution problem, the definition of mass and angular momentum, the formation of black holes, the cosmic censorship hypothesis, the linear and non-linear stability of black holes and boundary value problems at conformal infinity arising in the analysis of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Kamran will give a non-technical survey of some significant advances and open problems pertaining to a number of these questions.
This Prize recognizes exceptional achievement in the area of mathematical sciences and is considered Canada's top honour in mathematics.
Bio:
Prof Kamran is a James McGill Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University. He was the first recipient of the CRM's Andre Aisenstadt Prize in 1991 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2002. From 2006 to 2008, he held a Killam Research Fellowship awarded by the Canada Council for the Arts. His research interests are in differential geometry, partial differential equations and mathematical physics.

CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award in Applied Mathematics: Geoff Wild
CAIMS and PIMS are pleased to announce that Prof. Geoff Wild of the University of Western Ontario has been awarded the 2014 CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award in Applied Mathematics. Prof. Wild obtained his PhD in 2004 from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen's University. He has held post-doctoral positions at both Queen's University and the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Wild joined the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario in 2008 as an Assistant Professor. He will receive his award and delivery a plenary lecture at the 2014 Annual CAIMS*SCMAI meeting in Saskatoon in June, 2014.
Prof. Wild was cited "for his creative use of mathematical modelling to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology".
Prof. Wild harnesses approaches from dynamical systems and stochastic processes to investigate the adaptive significance of animal behaviour. He has tackled a variety of topics, including parental investment in offspring, animal movement, altruism, and pathogen virulence. His most recent work focuses on the evolutionary transition of populations of solitary individuals into those with more complex, social organization.

Subject: [cmath] Announcement - 9th International Conference on Teaching
Statistics
Message-ID: <5331E617.3080404@cms.math.ca>
*************
Subject: ICOT9 registration reminder - fees go up soon
Dear colleague,
I am writing to remind you to register soon for ICOTS9, the 9th Int'l Conference on Teaching Statistics. Use this link: http://icots.net/9/ and click on "registration".
Why now? because the reduced "early bird' fee is ending on March 31, 2014. Afterwards, fees go up - and fewer lodging options remain. So, please take advantage of the reduced fees for the next few days, and hurry.
**THE CONFERENCE**: ICOTS9, the premiere statistics education event, will take place on July 13-19, 2014, in Flagstaff, Arizona USA. ICOTS9 is organized by IASE, the International Association for Statistical Education, and co-sponsored by the American Statistical Association and the International Statistical Institute. ICOTS meetings are lively, informal gatherings that draw together several hundreds of people interested in the learning, teaching, and understanding of statistics and probability at schools and universities, in the workplace, and in professional and societal contexts, whether as part of statistics education, mathematics or science education, in connection with the work of official statistics agencies and other data producers, and in many other contexts.
The conference is taking place in a unique facility (High Country Conference Center) at the Northern Arizona University campus, in close proximity to world-class attractions such as the Grand Canyon and the red cliffs of Sedona.
**THE PROGRAM**: The scientific & professional program for ICOTS is shaping up nicely; dozens of invited sessions under 10 topics are already in place, and over 150 additional contributed papers and posters have already been accepted. Please check the ICOTS website: http://icots.net/9/ to see how the Scientific program is evolving.
We offer eight pre- and post-conference workshops on a range of applied topics in statistics education. The separate fees for all workshops are low and only cover our basic expenses, and include lunch as well. This is a good way to do some hands-on work in a small group and meet new people. (Note: workshop D is in Spanish and is sponsored by IASE, as part of our capacity-building mission). Space in all workshops is limited.
*
***ABOUT REGISTRATION AND PLANNING**:
1). Please register by *March 31, 2014* to enjoy reduced registration fees. There are many hotel options... but they are filling up. We have also added additional university dormitory rooms at a very reduced rate, after all the 40 dorm rooms which we started with were snapped - See under "Accommodations" but note that payment for the dorm rooms is as part of the registration process, not under the list of Hotels.
2). There are several registration categories, including reduced fees for teachers and for folks from developing countries (we use the World Bank list of developing countries, which is on the website).
If you are not an IASE member yet, there is a great option to join at a reduced rate until the end of 2015 as part of your registration, which enables you to get the member rate for the conference.
3). The registration fees include 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches, all at the conference facility. This simplifies your life as a participant and increases options for socializing during the day.
4). Several tours are offered to nearby attractions as part of the optional excursions on Wednesday. We are working on arrangements for a local shuttle service for transportation of accompanying persons to attractions such as Sedona. (heard about the Sedona Red cliffs and energy vortexes? now is your chance to be there in person...).
5). Once you have registered, if you want to book additional things like banquet tickets, workshops and Wednesday tours, use the PDF form under "Registration by Mail" and email it or fax it to the ASA office listed there.
Please circulate this message to interested people in your country or professional groups. ICOTS is a unique conference and we hope you can help us spread the word. Thanks!
See you soon in Arizona.

Subject: [cmath] PIMS 2014 Education Prize Awarded to Susan Milner
Message-ID:
----------------------------------------------------
Susan Milner is Awarded the PIMS 2014 Education Prize
PIMS is delighted to announce that Susan Milner, a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), has been selected as the winner of the 2014 PIMS Education Prize. This prize, awarded annually by PIMS, recognizes individuals in Western Canada and Washington State who have played a major role in encouraging activities which have enhanced public awareness and appreciation of mathematics, as well as fostering communication among various groups concerned with mathematical education at all levels.
Susan Milner has been teaching a variety of mathematics courses at UFV (a PIMS Educational Associate university), touching the lives of many students in British Columbia (BC). However, her interests range far beyond teaching; they reach into curriculum design on the one hand, and into making mathematics more accessible and exciting to a wide audience on the other. These interests have led her to many achievements which have had a significant impact on math educators in BC and beyond, as well as on many students and their parents.
Susan's interest in mathematics curriculum in BC colleges and universities led her to become an active member of the BC Committee on Undergraduate Programs in Mathematics and Statistics, where she served as Chair of the Committee for six years (2002-2008). Her interest and expertise in popularizing mathematics led her to bring PIMS Math Mania to schools in the Fraser Valley. Since 2007 she (often accompanied by her team of UFV colleagues and student volunteers) has visited scores of schools - 39 in 2012/2013. These visits have inspired some of the schools to organize their own Math Mania events. UFV has recognized Susan's outreach work by awarding her the 2013 Dean of Science Awesome Achievement Award in the Outstanding Outreach category.
But Susan did not simply "transplant" Math Mania to the Fraser Valley. She has enhanced and enriched it by adding many of her own favourite activities, including origami and puzzles. Using puzzles to teach mathematics and to attract people to mathematics has been one of Susan's passions. She writes about her "love affair" with mathematical puzzles, with comments on how can one use puzzles in a classroom, in the article Puzzles in my Life, which appeared in the CMS Notes October 2013 issue (see http://cms.math.ca/notes/v45/n5/Notesv45n5.pdf) Susan has also given workshops at Science World and several workshops for teachers from various schools and school districts.
Alejandro Adem, PIMS Director, remarked, "Susan Milner is an outstanding educator, who has worked tirelessly to share the joy of mathematics with countless students and teachers in BC. This prize recognizes her wonderful achievements and selfless dedication to mathematics."
The 2014 PIMS Education Prize is sponsored by Hampson-Russell/CGG and will be awarded at the annual Changing the Culture Conference organized by PIMS in Vancouver, on Friday, May 16, 2014.

The research center DIMACS is organizing a series of workshops on Mathematics for Planet Earth in 2014-15: http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/index-mpe.html
_____________________
Fom DIMACS' website: We plan to sustain MPE activities beyond 2013 by:
1) conducting five research workshops that will each define a set of future research challenges;
2) establishing a Research and Education Forum (REF) associated with each workshop that will involve follow-up smaller group meetings to flesh out the challenges, identify potential follow-up activities, and begin collaborations;
3) holding an education workshop that helps to identify how to integrate themes identified in the research workshops into undergraduate and graduate curricula;
4) finding ways to involve the next generation of mathematical scientists in the effort, with special emphasis on involving under-represented minorities in the MPE workforce of the future, especially through a conference directed specifically at preparing participants for involvement in the research workshops; and
5) disseminating information about the mathematics of planet earth by creating a website and other publicity materials for the project.
_____________________
The next workshops are
MPE 2013+ Workshop on Sustainable Human Environments at DIMACS: April 23-25, 2014, http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/HumanEnvironments/

7-12 in Vancouver, BC
Message-ID:
----------------------------------------------------
2014 West Coast Algebraic Topology Summer School at PIMS
http://www.pims.math.ca/scientific-event/140707-wcatss
Application deadline: April 11th, 2014.
* Start Date: July 7, 2014
* End Date: July 12, 2014
Location:
Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Description:
This summer school is aimed at graduate students and post-docs, though all are welcome. We have support from the National Science Foundation and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences for roughly seventy-five participants, including local accommodations and partial reimbursement of travel expenses (depending on interest and available funds).
Scientific Plan: The scientific goal is for participants to learn about the different aspects of the study of topological field theories, reaching the research frontier as much as possible. These different aspects include:
(1) the origins of topological quantum field theory in physics;
(2) the mathematical formulation and relation to bordism theory;
(3) extended theories and the cobordism hypothesis;
(4) examples and applications, such as string topology, factorization homology, and examples from representation theory.
Format: Some participants will be preparing and giving lectures which have been planned in advance by the scientific committee. The number of lectures each day will be limited, and the the additional time used for activities to complement lectures. Some possible activities are: question sessions; students working on problems; smaller lectures which could fill in background for less experienced participants (possibly given by other participants with expertise), or could go further into recent advances for more experienced participants; reading; and side discussions. Because of the very different perspectives represented, we will consciously promote opportunities for communication across specialties.
Organizers:
Scientific committee:
David Ayala
Andrew Blumberg
John Francis
Dan Freed (chair)
Owen Gwilliam
Kate Poirier
Chris Schommer-Pries
Organizing committee:

Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Workshop on Making Models: Stimulating Research in Rigidity Theory and Spatial-Visual Reasoning, August 5 ? 9, 2014, hosted by The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, Toronto, Ontario, Canada*.**
*
On behalf of the organizing committee, we invite submissions for Poster Presentations in discrete geometry (rigidity theory) and/or spatial-visual reasoning research. We are seeking abstracts of up to 500 words that briefly describe the context, research questions, goals and findings of your work. We especially encourage submissions from new scholars, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students. The deadline for submission of abstracts is June 1, 2014.
Information regarding registration, housing, and current program can be found at the event website: http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/14-15/making_models/
The overarching aim of the workshop is to promote research that examines or directly uses visual-spatial approaches in mathematics. The event is planned in two parts, with three days focused on research in discrete geometry and rigidity theory (August 5-7), and two days focused on educational research in spatial-visual reasoning (August 8-9). A variety of sessions have been planned to support and foster on-going research and collaborations, including discussion groups, problem sessions, model-making seminars, panel discussions, as well as research talks by Walter Whiteley (York University), David Henderson (Cornell University) and Nora Newcombe (Temple University), among others. These sessions will combine to provide an opportunity to identify and address important questions in both discrete geometry and education research, with some attention toward how the two communities can support one another.
We appreciate your interest, and request that you send your abstracts to Elissa Ross (discrete geometry topics: eross2@wpi.edu) or Ami Mamolo (education topics: ami.mamolo@uoit.ca).
We look forward to hearing from you!

The Student Committee of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS Studc) is organizing a student workshop and talk session during the 2014 CMS Winter Meeting at the Delta Winnipeg Hotel (June 6 - June 9):
Intermediate LaTeX Tutorial
(Friday, June 6, 13:30-14:30, Westminster Room, Delta Winnipeg)
This workshop is designed to help participants improve the quality and readability of their LaTeX documents. Topics include advanced mathematical formatting, an overview of the mathtools and tikZ packages, optimal usage of equation environments and theorem environments, and tips and tricks to improve workflow. Attendees should be familiar with basic LaTeX (for example, be capable of typesetting an assignment, article or small set of notes). There is no registration for this event.
Communicating your research: a reflection on mathematical presentations
Studc is inviting all graduate students and postdocs to participate in a special scientific session focused on clearly communicating their work. This session is mainly meant to give young researchers an opportunity to reflect on and refine their academic presentation skills. To emphasize the focus on communicating clearly, students will be challenged with presenting an introductory talk about their field to a general mathematical audience. All participants are encouraged to opt into receiving anonymous feedback on their talk from both the session chairs and members of the audience. This constructive feedback will allow participants to identify their strengths and weaknesses as presenters in order to become more effective and engaging speakers in this interactive scientific session. Please submit your abstract here (https://cms.math.ca/Events/summer14/abs/Create/). Questions should be directed to session organizers Kseniya Garaschuk and L?o Raymond-Belzile .
More information about the meeting can be found at the 2014 CMS Winter Meeting website (https://cms.math.ca/Events/summer14/).

Bonjour,
Depuis 1945, la SMC est au service de la communaut? math?matique. La SMC
d'aujourd'hui a pour objectif de promouvoir et de favoriser
l'avancement, la d?couverte et l'apprentissage des math?matiques, et les
applications qui en d?coulent, dans toutes les sph?res de la vie
canadienne. Les programmes de la SMC d'aujourd'hui, les partenariats et
les services offerts s'?tendent ? toutes les provinces et ? tous les
territoires du Canada. Et aujourd'hui, j'aimerais vous inviter
personnellement ? contribuer ? l'essor continu de la SMC.
En contribuant ? la SMC, vous faites un geste concret pour les
math?matiques au Canada : des ?l?ves du secondaire se familiarisent avec
les aspects ludiques et cr?atifs des math?matiques; des ?tudiants aux
cycles sup?rieurs ont l'occasion de pr?senter leur travail pour la
premi?re fois dans le cadre d'une R?union de la SMC; des chercheurs
peuvent pr?senter leurs d?couvertes aux R?unions et dans les revues de
la Soci?t?, et des enseignants de math?matiques s'?changent leurs bonnes
pratiques. Quand vous soutenez la SMC, vous soutenez ?galement des
initiatives importantes comme nos concours nationaux de math?matiques,
le Congr?s canadien des ?tudiants en math?matiques (CC?M) 2014, et les
pr?paratifs du Congr?s math?matique des Am?riques 2017 ? Montr?al.
Le succ?s de la SMC serait impossible sans le soutien de ses b?n?voles,
membres, partenaires et ?tablissements partenaires comme le PIMS, le
CRM, l'AARMS, la BIRS et l'Institut FIELDS, ainsi que de personnes comme
vous qui contribuent g?n?reusement ? la SMC et ? la communaut?
math?matique canadienne. Votre int?r?t et votre appui envers la SMC
donnent du poids ? la voix nationale des math?matiques canadiennes, ici
et ? l'?tranger. Faites un don d?s aujourd'hui pour nous aider ?
conna?tre d'autres succ?s et appuyer le travail important de la SMC.
Votre soutien est important, votre don comptera pour beaucoup (et il est
d?ductible d'imp?ts), et les math?matiques au Canada s'en porteront bien
mieux!
Cordialement,
Keith Taylor
Pr?sident de la SMC

Le prix de math?matiques Andr?-Aisenstadt 2014 attribu? ? Sabin Cautis
Montr?al, le 6 juin 2014 - Le Comit? scientifique international du Centre de recherches math?matiques (CRM) a le plaisir d'annoncer que Sabin Cautis de l'Universit? de la Colombie-Britannique est le laur?at du prix Andr?-Aisenstadt 2014.
En tant qu??tudiant de premier cycle ? l?Universit? de Waterloo, M. Cautis a ?t? boursier Putnam et membre de l??quipe gagnante de la comp?tition Putnam en 1999. Apr?s l?obtention de son baccalaur?at en math?matiques en 2001, Sabin Cautis poursuivit sa formation ? l?Universit? Harvard o? il re?ut son doctorat en 2006 sous la direction de M. Joe Harris. Avant de se joindre au d?partement de math?matiques de l?Universit? de la Colombie-Britannique, M. Cautis ?tait professeur adjoint ? l?Universit? de la Californie du Sud et il a occup? des postes de recherche postdoctoraux ? l?Universit? Columbia, au MSRI et ? l?Universit? Rice. En 2011-2013 il fut le r?cipiendaire de la tr?s prestigieuse ? Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship ?.
Sabin Cautis travaille au carrefour de la g?om?trie alg?brique, de la th?orie de la repr?sentation et de la topologie en basses dimensions. Dans ses premiers travaux (avec Joel Kamnitzer, laur?at du prix Andr?-Aisenstadt en 2011), il a d?velopp? une nouvelle approche pour les invariants de noeuds de Khovanov utilisant la g?om?trie alg?brique et inspir?e de la sym?trie miroir. M. Cautis est un chef de file dans le domaine de la cat?gorification. Ses r?sultats devraient avoir un impact durable dans le domaine et mener ? des d?veloppements importants en topologie en basses dimensions, dans le programme de Langlands g?om?trique et dans les aspects math?matiques de la physique quantique. En particulier, ses travaux r?cents en collaboration avec Anthony Licata sur la cat?gorification des alg?bres de Heisenberg et des op?rateurs vertex constituent une avanc?e majeure dans le programme esquiss? par Igor Frenkel pour cat?gorifier la th?orie des champs conformes.
Le prix de math?matiques Andr?-Aisenstadt
Cr?? en 1991 par le Centre de recherches math?matiques pour souligner l'excellence de la recherche en math?matiques pures ou appliqu?es effectu?e par de jeunes math?maticiens canadiens, le prix de math?matiques Andr?-Aisenstadt consiste d?une bourse de 3000 dollars et d?une m?daille.
Voici la liste des laur?ats du Prix de math?matiques Andr?-Aisenstadt depuis sa cr?ation en 1991 (les affiliations sont celles qui ?taient en vigueur au moment de l'attribution du prix) : Niky Kamran (McGill), Ian Putnam (Victoria), Michael Ward (UBC), Nigel Higson (Penn State), Adrian S. Lewis (Waterloo), Lisa Jeffrey (McGill), Henri Darmon (McGill), Boris Khesin (Toronto), John Toth (McGill), Changfeng Gui (Connecticut), Eckhard Meinrenken (Toronto), Jinyi Chen (UBC), Alexander Brudnyi (Calgary), Vinayak Vatsal (UBC), Ravi Vakil (Stanford), Iosif Polterovich (Montr?al), Tai-Peng Tsai (UBC), Gregory G. Smith (Queen's), Alexander E. Holroyd (UBC), Jozsef Solymosi (UBC), Jonathan Taylor (Montr?al), Valentin Blomer (Toronto), Omer Angel (UBC), Joel Kamnitzer (Toronto), Marco Gualtieri (Toronto), Young-Heon Kim (UBC) et Spyros Alexakis (Toronto).

The 2014 Andr? Aisenstadt Mathematics Prize awarded to Sabin Cautis
MONTR?AL, June 6, 2014 /CRM/ - The International Scientific Advisory Committee of the Centre de recherches math?matiques (CRM) is happy to announce that Sabin Cautis from the University of British Columbia is the 2014 Andr? Aisenstadt Prize recipient.
As an undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo, Dr. Cautis was a Putnam Fellow and a member of the winning team in the 1999 Putnam competition. After receiving a Bachelor of Mathematics degree in 2001, Sabin Cautis continued his education at HarvardUniversity, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 2006 under the supervision of Joe Harris. Before joining the mathematics department at UBC, Dr. Cautis was assistant professor at the University of Southern California and held postdoctoral positions at Columbia University, MSRI, and Rice University. In 2011-2013 he was a recipient of the highly coveted Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship.
Sabin Cautis works at the crossroads of algebraic geometry, representation theory, and low-dimensional topology. In his earlier work (joint with the 2011 Andr? Aisenstadt Prize recipient, Joel Kamnitzer), he developed a new approach to Khovanov's knot invariants, which uses algebraic geometry and is inspired by mirror symmetry. Dr. Cautis is a world leader in the area of categorification. His results are expected to have a lasting impact on the field and lead to important developments in low-dimensional topology, the geometric Langlands program, and the mathematical aspects of quantum physics. In particular, his recent work with Anthony Licata on categorification of Heisenberg algebras and vertex operators is a major step in the direction outlined by Igor Frenkel towards categorification of conformal field theory.
About the Andr? Aisenstadt Mathematics Prize
The Andr? Aisenstadt Mathematics Prize, which recognizes outstanding research achievements in pure or applied mathematics by a young Canadian mathematician, consists of a $3,000 award and a medal.
Since its creation in 1991, the Andr? Aisensadt Prize has been awarded to the following researchers (the affiliations are the ones valid at the time of the award): Niky Kamran (McGill), Ian Putnam (Victoria), Michael Ward (UBC), Nigel Higson (Penn State), Adrian S. Lewis (Waterloo), Lisa Jeffrey (McGill), Henri Darmon (McGill), Boris Khesin (Toronto), John Toth (McGill), Changfeng Gui (Connecticut), Eckhard Meinrenken (Toronto), Jinyi Chen (UBC), Alexander Brudnyi (Calgary), Vinayak Vatsal (UBC), Ravi Vakil (Stanford), Iosif Polterovich (Montr?al), Tai-Peng Tsai (UBC), Gregory G. Smith (Queen's), Alexander E. Holroyd (UBC), Jozsef Solymosi (UBC), Jonathan Taylor (Montr?al), Valentin Blomer (Toronto), Omer Angel (UBC), Joel Kamnitzer (Toronto), Marco Gualtieri (Toronto), Young-Heon Kim (UBC), and Spyros Alexakis (Toronto).

***** Please distribute widely to your undergraduate students *****
***** We apologize for any cross-posting *****
The Canadian Mathematical Society Student Committee (CMS Studc) would like to invite undergraduate mathematics students from across Canada to consider hosting the 2015 edition of the Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (CUMC) at their institution!
** There is a new bidding process for the conference that will be implemented starting this year. **
Notably, the bidding will no longer happen during the conference, but after, giving first-time attendees a chance to experience the conference before deciding to bid. The bids will also be more structured, with an application form and poster advertising their institution for the next conference location. Lastly, the next hosting institution will ultimately be chosen by Studc, though Canadian math students will be given an opportunity to privately provide their feedback on the bids, which Studc will take into account in making their final decision.
As part of the new bidding process, preference for the 2015 CUMC will be given to locations outside of Central Canada ("Central Canada" is defined to be Ontario and Quebec).
Full details about the bidding process are described in the CUMC Bid Guidelines, available on the Studc website (http://studc.cms.math.ca/cumc.html). Any questions about the process should be directed to the Studc chairs, Irena Papst and Louis-Xavier Proulx, at chair-studc@cms.math.ca (mailto:chair-studc@cms.math.ca).

Academic Opportunities in the School of Mathematical Sciences - Level B/C/D/E
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
*Closing date: * Sunday, 24 August 2014, 11:55pm Aus. Eastern Standard Time
Over the years Monash has built a strong reputation in Mathematics and, following the relocation of some of the more applied research areas, the School of Mathematics is embarking on a unique expansion across broad areas of Mathematics. The 15 appointments to be made in the next two years will be at all levels with at least four of the positions at Level E.
Outstanding candidates in all areas of Mathematics are invited to apply for the posts. We expect to make appointments in algebra, analysis, applied analysis, and pde's (theoretical and computational), but appointments in other areas will be made. Some of the appointments will further build our research in mathematical biology, mathematical finance, and nonlinear dynamics with engineering applications. Appointments that consolidate our existing strength in combinatorics, operations research, mathematical statistics and hydrodynamics will be considered.
Successful candidates at Level E will be expected to take a leadership role and be involved with recruitment at lower levels. All candidates will be expected to have outstanding research records and help our drive for excellence across the school. The school recognises the need for a strong Mathematical underpinning of research in many schools across the campus and is committed to delivering outstanding Mathematics teaching across the campus.
These roles are full-time positions; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.
Your application must address the selection criteria.

Results of Collaborative and Thematic Resources Support in Mathematics
and Statistics Program Competition
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada is
pleased to announce the results of its first Collaborative and Thematic
Resources Support in Mathematics and Statistics (CTRMS) Program
competition. The three recipients are:
* *the Centre de recherches math?matiques
(CRM), based at the Universit? de
Montr?al ($1.15 million annually for five years);
* *the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences
based at the University of Toronto
($1.2 million annually for five years); and
* *the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
(PIMS), a collaboration of nine major
universities in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and
Washington State ($1.15 million annually for five years).
Together, the three institutes will provide support from their CTRMS
awards of $405,000 per year to the newly formed Canadian Statistical
Sciences Institute and will also continue
to provide support for the Atlantic Association for Research in the
Mathematical Sciences through their CTRMS awards.
In addition, NSERC has provided the three institutes above -- CRM,
Fields, and PIMS -- with $1.5 million over three years to set up an
Institute Innovation Platform that will foster partnerships between
mathematics and statistics researchers and non-academic partners in the
public and private sectors.

Subject: [cmath] PIMS Postdoctoral Fellowships 2015 - 2016: Call for
Nominations
Message-ID:
----------------------------------------------------
PIMS invites nominations of outstanding young researchers in the mathematical sciences for postdoctoral fellowships for 2015-2016. Candidates must be nominated by at least one scientist or by a department (or departments) affiliated with PIMS. The fellowships are intended to supplement support provided by PIMS and are tenable at any of its Canadian member universities: the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia, the University of Calgary, the University of Lethbridge, the University of Regina, the University of Saskatchewan, Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria, as well as at the PIMS affiliate, the University of Northern British Columbia.
For the 2015-2016 competition, held in January of 2015, the amount of the award will be $20,000 and the sponsor(s) is (are) required to provide additional funds to finance a minimum total stipend of $40,000.
Rankings of candidates are made by the PIMS PDF Review Panel based on the qualifications of the candidate, potential for participation in PIMS programs and potential involvement with PIMS partners. PIMS Postdoctoral Fellows will be expected to participate in all PIMS activities related to the fellow's area of expertise and will be encouraged to spend time at more than one PIMS site. To ensure that PIMS Postdoctoral Fellows are able to participate fully in institute activities, they may not teach more than two single-term courses per year.
Nominees must have a PhD or equivalent (or expect to receive a PhD) by December 31, 2015 and be within three years of their PhD at the time of the nomination (i.e., the candidate must have received her or his PhD on or after January 1, 2012). The fellowship may be taken up at any time between September 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016. The fellowship is for one year and is renewable for, at most, one additional year.
Deadline for complete nominations/applications: DECEMBER 1.

*Call For Proposals: 2014 Endowment Grants Competition *
The Canadian Mathematical Society is pleased to announce the 2014
Endowment Grants Competition to fund projects that contribute to the
broader good of the mathematical community. The Endowment Grants
Committee (EGC) administers the distribution of the grants and
adjudicates proposals for projects. Proposals must address the goal and
statement of purpose of the Canadian Mathematical Society: to support
the promotion and advancement of the discovery, learning, and
application of mathematics.
An applicant may be involved in only one proposal per competition as a
principal applicant. Proposals must come from CMS members, or, if joint,
at least one principal applicant must be a CMS member. The EGC will
consider funding one or multi-year proposals to a maximum of $2,500. The
EGC tends to favour proposals where CMS funds can be leveraged or where
applicants have no other natural funding to which they can apply.
Proposals must be received no later than *September 30, 2014*.
Successful applicants will be informed in December 2014 and grants will
be awarded in January 2015. The application form and further
detailsabout the application process are available on the CMS website:

PIMS / CNRS Call for Applications 2015 - 2016
The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) and the Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) are calling for applications
from French researchers to spend the academic year 2015-16 at one of
PIMS member universities and to participate in PIMS research activities.
The applicants should be "fonctionnaires titulaires" either at the CNRS or
at a French university, and priority will be given to junior researchers
("charg(e)es de recherches" or "maitres de conferences").
Applications should be sent to Sinnou David, Directeur adjoint
scientifique,
INSMI (CNRS), and to Alejandro Adem, Director of PIMS, by December 19,
2014. They should include a CV and a list of publications, together with a
description of the research project to be done during the academic year,
and
the names of the PIMS researchers which would be involved in the project.
Results will be announced by the spring of 2015.
For French colleagues posted in a laboratory managed by another institute
of CNRS than INSMI, the application should also be sent to the relevant
Institute.
In particular, those working in a INS2I laboratory should put Anne Doucet
(Anne Doucet ) in copy.
In the case of university faculty, once the application has been
accepted, the
actual appointment is subject to the person receiving a "delegation au
CNRS"
from his/her home institution.
Successful applicants will be sent for one year by the CNRS to the PIMS
university where the research is to be carried out, on the understanding
that
they will be given adequate working conditions, and be treated like local
faculty (except for teaching). We encourage researchers at PIMS
universities to
contact their French counterparts and encourage them to apply. The
extent of
local support will be a crucial factor in judging the applications.

Subject: [cmath] AARMS Postdoctoral Fellowship Award Program - Atlantic
Association for Research in Mathematical Sciences (AARMS)
Message-ID: <544AB165.4080106@cms.math.ca>
This is an announcement that the annual AARMS Postdoctoral Fellowship Award Program will open for applications on November 10, 2014. Details can be found below or on our website: http://www.aarms.math.ca/pdf
Eligibility and place of tenure
AARMS postdoctoral fellowships are awarded, on the recommendation of its Scientific Review Panel (SRP), to beginning researchers who received their PhD no more than four years before applying. Applications will be considered from those who anticipate receiving their PhD before the proposed start time of the fellowship, however the PhD must be in hand before actually beginning the fellowship. AARMS will provide $17,500 per year for the fellowship and the supervisor is responsible for organizing matching funds of at least this amount
It is typically expected that the proposed supervisor will not be the same person as the applicant's PhD supervisor, and that the proposed Postdoctoral Fellowship will be at a different university than the one at which the PhD was awarded. The proposed supervisor must be a full-time tenure track or tenured faculty member at a university in Atlantic Canada.
Duration
Normally two years. Funding for the second year is dependent upon satisfactory performance demonstrated in the detailed progress report submitted by the supervisor(s).
Application
Applicants are required to establish a relationship with a prospective supervisor before applying to AARMS, and to have a tentative agreement from that supervisor to make a joint application to this program. This program is not a service for matching applicants with supervisors.
Applications should be made by the candidate through the PDF Application page found through the Online Services link in our menu.The application should include:
* CV (in pdf format)
* Research Proposal: a detailed description of the research area and the research to be carried out during the tenure of the fellowship as well as a description of how the candidate would interact with the supervisor(s). (also in pdf format)
* Name(s) and email address(es) of proposed supervisor(s)
* Names and email addresses of two referees
After their name(s) and email addresse(s) have been entered by the applicant, the proposed supervisor(s) will receive an automated message from the system, giving them access to the application, and requesting the submission of the following materials:
* A written reference.
* A list of the exact sources of matching funding (NSERC or other grant(s), department(s), ...); to be typed directly into the web form provided. If there are more than one intended supervisors only one needs to submit this financial information.
The proposed referees will also receive an automated message from the system, giving them access to the application, and requesting the submission of a written reference. Referees should be persons who are familiar with the candidate's work and can comment on their suitability for an AARMS postdoctoral fellowship.
Assessment
Applications will be reviewed by the Scientific Review Panel, who will make a recommendation to the Director.
Timetable
* *December 12 - * Application deadline.
* *December 19 - * Deadline for supervisor contribution.
* *February 2 - * Deadline for the assessment phase. Initial offers on Postdoctoral fellowships are made within the next few weeks. The department/university offered an award is requested to provide to AARMS a signed "funding package", showing the annual contributions by the supervisor(s), the department, and the university. Their amount has at least to match the AARMS contribution of $17,500 and may require that the fellowship holder teach up to one class each term (including spring/summer sessions). If an offer is declined AARMS reserves the right to either offer or to refrain from offering a fellowship to the next candidate in the ranking. If a successful candidate has also been offered an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship it is permitted to accept the AARMS award as well. In this case AARMS will contribute $7,500 per year on top of the NSERC award. No matching fees will be required from the supervisor(s).
* *June 30 - * Deadline for reports from supervisors of renewing PDFs. The supervisor must submit a detailed progress report, outlining the research work and listing publications, talks, etc. Electronic copies of all publications must be submitted to AARMS for archival purposes. The PDF is also expected to acknowledge the support of AARMS in their publications.
* *August 31 - * Latest possible termination date for the second year of a PDF.
* *September 1 - * Start time for the fellowship. AARMS will transfer $8,750 (first half of the annual amount) during the month when the PDF starts his programme, and the same amount six months later. This is done upon receipt of a formal invoice from the hosting department/university. It is acceptable for the start of a fellowship to be delayed up until December 1, but funding will be reduced proportionate to the delay. This reduction will be reconciled in the second year of funding.
APPLY
Make your application through our online system https://www.aarms.math.ca/service (System opens November 12, 2014).

CALL FOR PROPOSALS ? CRM THEMATIC PROGRAMS ? LETTERS OF INTENT
The Centre de recherches math?matiques (CRM) in Montreal is soliciting applications for thematic programs to be held at the CRM during the calendar years 2017. The thematic semesters take place from January to June (for the Winter-Spring Semester), and from July to December (for the Summer-Fall Semester). The duration of each program is either one or two semesters. The scientific activities of each semester typically include 3-5 workshops; some funds are also allocated to support postdoctoral fellows, short- and long-term visitors and two Aisenstadt Chairs. Programs to be organized jointly (in whole or in part) with other institutes are welcome.
The prospective organizers are invited to submit letters of intent including the following information:
- The title and dates of the proposed thematic program.
- The composition of the organizing committee, with the names and affiliations of its members. It is recommended that at least one member of the organizing committee belongs to the local mathematical community, and at least half of the organizers are external.
- A brief scientific description of the thematic semester (1-2 pages). The description must emphasize the goals, the background, and the timeliness of the proposed workshops, as well as training activities (schools, mini-courses, etc.) for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
- A tentative list of the principal invited speakers, including the names of the potential Aisenstadt Chairs. The candidates for the Aisenstadt Chairs should be world-famous mathematicians. They are expected to spend at least one week at the CRM during the semester, and to give a series of 3-4 lectures within the thematic program. One of these lectures should be accessible to a general mathematical audience.
Preliminary contact and informal inquiries with the Director and Deputy Director (Scientific Programs) of the CRM are encouraged. Budget indications and information on sources of funding will be provided.
All letters of intent will be examined by the CRM?s local and international scientific advisory committees. In case of a favourable decision, the prospective organizers will be asked to submit a detailed proposal that will be evaluated by the International Scientific Advisory Committee of the CRM.
Proposals and further inquiries should be emailed to the CRM at proposals@crm.umontreal.ca
Deadline to submit letters of intent: January 15, 2015
The CRM always welcomes applications for workshops, conferences and schools. Please refer to the following webpage for more information:http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/en/act/form/propositions_an.shtml.
A commitment to diversity
Applicants must ensure proper levels of representation of women and underrepresented groups in the proposed activity. For instance, they should plan for participation of scientists at different stages of their career, including postdoctoral fellows and students, coming from a diversity of institutions and locations in Canada and abroad.

** PIMS Postdoctoral Training Centre in Stochastics
------------------------------------------------------------
PIMS is pleased to announce the launching of its Postdoctoral Training Centre in Stochastics (PTCS).
PIMS has internationally recognized research groups in probability theory and its applications, which have an excellent track record of postdoctoral supervision and placement. These groups will come together through the new PIMS PTCS to train an outstanding cadre of postdoctoral fellows. The program has already attracted significant funding from NSF for our University of Washington site in addition to support from the Alberta Government. The PTCS will organize summer schools in probability and mathematical finance, develop networking between PIMS sites as well as with groups in Microsoft Research, Montreal and Toronto and support visits by distinguished visitors.
The program will be directed by Martin Barlow (UBC) and activities are scheduled to begin in 2015.
Applications for postdoctoral fellowships
Applicants should apply for a position at individual PIMS sites, rather than directly to the PTCS.

** Michael Lamoureux (University of Calgary) Appointed PIMS Innovation Coordinator
------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Lamoureux, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Calgary, has been appointed as PIMS Innovation Coordinator starting January 1, 2015.
In this newly established position, Dr. Lamoureux will serve as PIMS? conduit between the academic and industrial sector, while at the same time interacting with the NSERC RPP and regional sector. He will serve as a resource for faculty, students and postdocs seeking industrial connections and as a liaison between the PIMS Industrial Advisory Board, industry and the math science community. Locally, he will facilitate faculty and students seeking to become involved in industrial projects and helping them locate resources through the institutes, Mitacs, NSERC RPP and other partners.
Dr. Lamoureux completed his BSc at University of Alberta, MSc at Stanford University, and PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. After holding postdoctoral fellowships at Dalhousie University and the Mittag-Leffler Institute, he worked for a year as a Program Officer at NSERC in Ottawa, then joined the faculty at the University of Calgary in 1992. He has held visiting positions at the Universities of Ottawa, Newcastle, Maryland (College Park) and Vienna. He was awarded a Killam Resident Fellowship in 2007 at the University of Calgary.
His research interests span a range of topics in mathematical analysis, including studies of the structure of C*-algebras and related dynamical systems, the application of functional and harmonic analysis to signal processing and imaging, and computational methods in partial differential equations and related inverse problems. A particular focus is the application of these methods to industrial problems such as seismic imaging in the commercial oil and gas industries, and related medical imaging tasks. He has published over 40 journal articles and 50 technical reports, as well as two book chapters, and holds a patent for the SoundEdit software for digital editing of sound.
Dr. Lamoureux has served as Deputy Director for PIMS, 1999-2001, member of the MITACS Board of Directors 1999-2000, Chair of the National Program Committee of the Canadian Math Institutes 1999-2000, Vice President (West) of the Canadian Mathematical Society 2009-2011, and most recently, Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Calgary, 2011-2015. Since 2000, he has been Co-director of the POTSI project on Pseudodifferential operators and Seismic Imaging, and Associate Faculty with the CREWES consortium, an interdisciplinary research initiative that brings together industry and academic researchers to develop advanced technologies for imaging the earth's subsurface for use in the search for hydrocarbon resources.

Preference will be given to candidates with research expertise in Mathematical Finance, Actuarial Mathematics, inverse problems applied to oil reservoir modelling, Mathematical Biology. Candidates with other areas of expertise in Applied Mathematics are welcome to apply as well. Candidates must have a Ph.D. and demonstrate a strong record in research and teaching. Application materials consisting of a cover letter indicating area of specialization, a resume, teaching philosophy, research statement, and names and contact information of three references, should be submitted online as one file at: http://jobs.alfaisal.edu/advertisement-for-faculty-positions-at-the-department-of-mathematics/
Screening of candidates start now and will continue until the positions are filled. You may send any inquiries to nmegrez@alfaisal.edu
Riyadh is a modern and attractive city at the political, economic and cultural hub of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Coast Countries. Because of the large, well-established expatriate community, English is commonly spoken by service providers at retail outlets, hospitals, etc. The climate in Riyadh is very comfortable during the fall and spring semesters and is similar to what you would experience in the south western part of the United States. There are numerous, world class education options for the children of Alfaisal Faculty and the proximity of Saudi Arabia to other middle-eastern, European, and Asian popular travel destinations makes it an ideal location for someone who would like to experience new cultures.
Alfaisal University offers a competitive compensation package which is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Fringe benefits include family annual leave, medical/dental benefits, as well as housing and living expense allowances. Employment will require successful completion of credentials verification and background check(s) in accordance with university policies.

> Beginning November 17, young computer scientists and mathematicians from all over the world can apply for one of the 200 coveted spots to participate in Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), an annual networking event. The HLF offers all accepted young researchers the great opportunity to personally meet the winners of the most prestigious prizes in their fields. For one week, the recipients of the Abel Prize, the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the Fields Medal, and the Nevanlinna Prize engage in a cross-generational scientific dialogue with young researchers in Heidelberg, Germany. Applications must be submitted online at http://application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org by February 28, 2015. For more information, please visit:www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org
>
> The 3rd HLF will take place from August 23 to 28, 2015. This high-profile event combines scientific, social and outreach activities in an informal atmosphere, and is fueled by comprehensiveexchange and scientific inspiration. ?The HLF is a unique opportunity for two hundred ambitious young researchers to meet some of the most successful scientists in their fields?, says KlausTschira, founder and chairperson of the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF), which organizes the HLF every year.
>
> During the HLF week, young researchers will be given the exclusive possibility to profoundly connect with their scientific role models and find out how they made it to the top of their fields. 24 laureates attended the 2nd HLF, including Martin Hairer and Manjul Bhargava, both 2014 Fields Medalists, and Leslie Lamport, the current winner of the ACM A.M. Turing Award. Together with their fellow laureates, they shared their knowledge with 200 outstanding young researchers from nearly 60 different countries. ?A once-in-a-lifetime experience to engage with some amazing people. I thoroughly enjoyed not just the thrill of meeting these ?greats? but being free to pick their brains, learn their wisdom and even to debate with them. I am coming away from the Forum, inspired and motivated in general, but also with fresh research ideas and insight into my own area of work. For this I am extremely grateful?, writes one young researcher of the 2nd HLF.

The winner of the 2015 CRM - Fields - PIMS Prize is
Professor Kai Behrend of the University of British Columbia.
Professor Behrend is an internationally recognized leader in the field of
algebraic geometry, whose contributions to the subject are noted both
for their depth and scope. He has obtained fundamental results in the
theory of algebraic stacks, Gromov-Witten theory and the study of
Donaldson-Thomas invariants. In particular, his pioneering works on the
construction of a "virtual fundamental class" played a key role in laying
the algebraic foundations of the Gromov-Witten theory. Later, he made a
breakthrough in the study of the Donaldson-Thomas invariants by showing
that, for certain spaces, the degree of the virtual fundamental class
could be expressed as the topological Euler characteristic weighted by a
natural constructible function, depending only on the intrinsic properties
of the space. This function is now widely known as Behrend's
function. It allowed the use of motivic methods to compute Donaldson-Thomas
invariants, and made it possible to obtain their categorified and
motivic versions, which is currently among the hottest trends in the
subject. In his earlier work, Professor Behrend obtained an important
generalization of the Lefschetz trace formula for algebraic stacks,
presently known as Behrend's trace formula. The ideas put forward by Kai
Behrend have already proven to be immensely influential and will
undoubtedly have a lasting impact on this area of mathematics.
Kai Behrend received a Ph.D. in 1991 at the University of California,
Berkeley. He joined the faculty of the University of British Columbia in
1994. Professor Behrend has received numerous recognitions for his
research, including the 2001 Coxeter-James Prize and the 2011
Jeffery-Williams Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society, as well as an
invitation to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians
in Seoul in 2014.

Le gagnant du prix CRM-Fields-PIMS 2015 est
le Professeur Kai Behrend de la University of British Columbia.
Le Professeur Behrend est un leader internationalement reconnu dans
le domaine de la g?om?trie alg?brique dont les contributions ? ce sujet
sont appr?ci?es pour leur profondeur et leur ?tendue. Celui-ci a obtenu
des r?sultats fondamentaux en th?orie des champs alg?briques, en th?orie
de Gromov-Witten et dans l??tude des invariants de Donaldson-Thomas.
Ses travaux de pionnier sur la construction d?une ? classe fondamentale
virtuelle? ont jou? un r?le cl? dans l??laboration des fondements de la
th?orie de Gromov-Witten. Subs?quemment, il a r?alis? une perc?e dans
l??tude des invariants de Donaldson-Thomas en montrant que pour certains
espaces, le degr? la classe fondamentale virtuelle pouvait s?exprimer
comme la caract?ristique d?Euler topologique pond?r?e par une fonction
naturelle constructible et d?pendant seulement des propri?t?s
intrins?ques de l?espace. Cette fonction est maintenant appel?e fonction
de Behrend. Cela a permis d?utiliser des m?thodes motiviques pour
calculer les invariants de Donaldson-Thomas ; cela a de plus rendu
possible d?obtenir les versions cat?gorifi?es et motiviques de ces
invariants, sujet faisant pr?sentement l?objet de beaucoup d?attention.
Dans ses travaux ant?rieurs, le Professor Behrend a obtenu une
importante g?n?ralisation de la formule de trace de Lefschetz pour les
classes alg?briques dont la paternit? est reconnue en y r?f?rant en tant
que formule de trace de Behrend. Les id?es mises de l?avant par Kai
Behrend se sont d?j? av?r?es d?une tr?s grande influence et auront ?
n?en pas douter un impact durable dans ce secteur des math?matiques.
Kai Behrend a obtenu son PhD en 1991 de la University of
California ? Berkeley. Il s?est joint ? la University of British Columbia en
1994. Le Professeur Behrend a re?u diverses marques de
reconnaissance soulignant l?excellence de ses recherches.
Celles-ci comprennent le prix Coxeter-James en 2001 et le prix
Jeffery-Williams en 2011, tous les deux offerts par la Soci?t?
Math?matique du Canada. Kai Behrend a aussi ?t? un conf?rencier

"All such people are expected to learn a hell of a lot of math." That,
perhaps, misses the point. It's not surprising or shocking that
physicists and chemists don't know all the mathematics in the article -
I will admit to not knowing it all myself. What is shocking is that an
editor who has, presumably, no compunction about exposing the tender
minds of astronomers to obscure organometallic radicals, or mentioning
rare wildflowers (by their Linnaean binomials, no less) in the presence
of geologists, should feel that these scholars /should not//read /about
mathematics that they do not know.
Mathematics is a large enough subject that we are all ignorant of some
of it. This seems more like being terrified of it.

The issue is not whether a typical reader is on top of all the terminology
but whether in the obituary the writer gives a sense of the achievement of
the deceased and some sense of the range of ideas in which he operated.
If a given reader is unfamiliar with the technicalities, then that reader
has learned something -- that there is an important world beyond his
immediate ken that is consequential. And this is not a bad thing.
I think that Mumford succeeded in his purpose.

So do I. The obituary was excellent. It even gave the careful reader a
rather good idea of what Grothendieck had done. And Nature should
probably have run it. I say "probably" because Nature has always
considered its /raison d'etre/ to exclude mathematics, except for quirky
experimental stuff about how densely you can pack regular polyhedra
without using any theory, which is more a sort of Lego physics.
We aren't currently planning on running an obituary for Grothendieck in
the NOTES because we normally only do that when there is a strong
Canadian connection. Nature is perhaps in the same boat. What surprised
me most was that they thought they /might/ run one. Had they thought
/Recoltes et semailles /was an agronomy textbook?
It was only in his take on why the obit was declined that I thought he
had perhaps not quite hit the nail on the head. Grothendieck's work was
so specialized that I would /not/ expect most scientists to know
anything about it; but Nature /would/ have run an obit for an
experimental scientist whose work was equally specialized.
Cheers,
Robert

Let me put in a word. The Mathematical Intelligencer is another
periodical which is not planning to publish an obituary of
Alexander Grothendieck (though I have a good deal of affection
for him and do think his death is a significant event for the
community); our reason is different, it's just that The
Intelligencer has a much longer pre-publication delay than many
other magazines do. The challenge Mumford and Tate took up was
daunting and twofold: to write something that could be read with
understanding by biologists who hadn't used mathematics much,
even simple math terminology, for forty years; and to write an
indication of what was novel about Grothendieck's approach to
algebraic geometry. The editors of Nature shouldn't be presumed
to have rejected the article on the basis that the authors had
set the bar too high for the non-mathematical biologist reader;
they may have thought that even for the reader for whom "group"
and "polynomial" were not barriers to comprehension, the sketch
of schemes etc --necessarily QUITE a sketchy sketch-- would be.
Granting the editors the right to try to do their difficult job
independently, I still think the authors have a right to feel
miffed, having responded to an invitation and made a creditable
attempt at a difficult task.

Submission Instructions
-----------------------
ISSAC 2015 invites the submission of original research contributions
to be considered for publication and presentation at the conference.
Papers should not duplicate work published or submitted for
consideration elsewhere. Submission is in two stages:
first the abstract is submitted by the abstract deadline, then the
associated paper may be submitted up to the full paper deadline.
Papers must be in English and should not exceed 8 pages in the ACM
sig-alternate.cls style, found at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
Submissions in other article styles are also accepted, but the final
version must be at most 8 pages when compiled in sig-alternate.cls
style (equivalent to about 17 pages of letter size paper, typeset in
12pt with normal spacing and reasonably large margins). Extended
abstracts are not allowed. Papers may have an appendix that may be
read by the reviewers and PC members at their discretion, but will
not be included in the published version of the paper. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and
present the paper.
Submission is via EasyChair, at the web site
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=issac2015
Details on the ISSAC 2015 reviewing process are given here:
