We’re excited to invite applications for a fully funded PhD position at Queen Mary University of London. This is part of our project Mathematical Foundations for AI, which aims to build a deeper theoretical understanding of modern AI systems by integrating tools from topology, geometry, and probability. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to foundational research at the intersection of mathematics and machine learning, with potential applications to robustness, generalization, and interpretability of AI models. The position is part of the Erlangen Programme for AI, an interdisciplinary initiative bringing together researchers across mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Full project details and application information can be found here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/mathematical-foundations-for-ai/?p177798.For more information, please contact us:

Dear All,

The Mathematics department at KTH has opened a PhD position in Topological Data Analysis.

The research will focus on mathematical foundations of TDA and applications to Gene Regulatory Networks Inference within an interdisciplinary project funded by Digital Futures https://www.digitalfutures.kth.se/

Deadline for application is April 11th. A link to the application is the following: https://www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/805466?l=en. Feel free to contact me ([email protected]) if you have questions.

Best wishes,

Hi folks,

There is an undergraduate workshop on algebraic and computational topology at IPAM at UCLA. It takes place 12-13 April 2025:
https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/special-events-and-conferences/puma-practicum-for-undergraduate-mathematicians-in-topology/

Applications are due 21 March (so very soon).

I am not involved in this program (so questions should not be directed to me),
but I just learned about it today and was encouraged to spread the news.

I am sure that many of you know potentially interested undergrads

We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 Young Topologists Meeting (YTM) will take place from June 23rd to June 27th, 2025 in Stockholm! This year, the event is jointly hosted by KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University.YTM is an annual conference organized for and by young researchers in topology. Its mission is to introduce participants to emerging topics of significance in the field and inspire them to actively engage with the mathematical community early in their careers. The atmosphere will be kept very friendly and inclusive.The program will feature:

• Three Mini-Courses led by:

 – Frédéric Chazal (Inria Saclay)

 – Manuel Krannich (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

 – Maria Yakerson (Oxford University/IMJ-PRG) as well as 

•  Participant Talks and Poster Sessions from junior researchers

There will be forthcoming announcements with information concerning the registration.For additional details about the conference, please visit our official website: www.math-stockholm.se/1.1350169. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the organizers at: [email protected]

The conference is organized in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute, and is supported by Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien,  the K-Theory Foundation, the G.S. Magnuson Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundations, Stockholms Matematikcentrum, KTH, and SU.We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm!

Dear All,

The mathematics department at KTH has opened a two year postdoc position in TDA. The successful candidate will be involved in applied projects in collaboration with SeRC (https://e-science.se/) and more generally in research in TDA. Teaching duties of 20% are included in the employment. The starting date of the postdoc is June 2025, by the time of employment the candidate should have obtained a PhD. Feel free to reach out to Martina Scolamiero ([email protected]) if you have any questions or would like to know more about the position and our research. Deadline for applying is 27th January and a link to the application is below:

https://www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/781956?l=en

We are looking for talented PhD candidates to join us at QMUL for two exciting projects.

Both are at the intersection between TDA, stochastic topology, and applications.

1. Mathematical Foundations of AI:
