Dear all,
I am pleased to announce that I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in applied algebraic topology with applications to broad biological systems at the MPI-CBG in Dresden. This position offers the opportunity to conduct independent research while collaborating closely with our mathematics, network analysis, and biology groups across the institute. 

In addition to these collaborations, particularly with the applied mathematics groups of Heather Harrington, Türkü Özlüm Çelik, Aida Maraj, and Carl Modes, the position also provides the chance to engage in a broader collaboration network, connecting with the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig and the Centre for Topological Data Analysis of the University of Oxford, as well as with the geometry and topology groups at TU Dresden (e.g., Ulrich Krähmer’s group, Andreas Thom’s group). 

The application deadline for this position is 16 November 2025, with a flexible start date in 2026. All terms, funding information, and additional details are available in the advertisement attached or on the application site:

Organizers Calin Chindris and Zhengchao Wan of the University of Missouri-Columbia are organizing the “Conference on Topological Data Analysis:
Recent Developments and Applications” this November 22-24. 

This three-day conference brings together leading researchers from academia and industry, together with graduate students and post-doctoral scholars, to discuss the latest theoretical breakthroughs and applications of Topological Data Analysis (TDA).

A central goal is to train the next generation of TDA researchers by providing a venue to present work, receive feedback, and build collaborations. TDA is evolving rapidly across theory, algorithms, and real-world applications, and our program balances cutting-edge theory with demonstrations of impact in fields ranging from machine learning to biology and network science.

Check out more info on the conference website: https://zhengchaow.github.io/tda-conference-2025/index.html. 

If you or your students would like to attend and/or submit a contributed talk or poster please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUgAUBazuB-wdVc66F18zcIavhGkwm8rgsQVSyUdRwNWxc5A/viewform. Early career researchers including students and postdocs are especially encouraged to submit! They have limited support for some travel funding.

The organizing committee has picked dates for the next ATMCS conference. It will be at the Max-Planck-Institute Leipzig, 2026-01-26 – 2026-01-30, with Wednesday January 28th dedicated to Sayan Mukherjee.

The conference webpage is available at: https://www.mis.mpg.de/events/series/atmcs12 or at https://atmcs12.appliedtopology.org, and a full announcement will follow soon.

Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson would like to remind everyone:
If you (like me…) have not yet registered and booked your lodgings for Bozeman MT, now is the time to get it done!

The conference webpage, https://comptag.github.io/atmcs11/registration.html, has links for both the registration process, and for conference lodging. There are a couple of hotels suggested, and there is also campus accommodations available. As I’m writing this, there are still several campus rooms left.

See you in Bozeman!
