Dear all,

We are organizing a single day online workshop, titled Algebraic Combinatorics and Category Theory in Topological Data Analysis. This will take place on Saturday, March 12, 2022. This workshop is a substitute for a special session in the cancelled AMS Spring Southeastern Sectional Meeting. The webpage is https://sites.google.com/view/tda-alg-combi-cat/home

We plan to start at 8:50am Eastern Time (= 2:50pm Central European Time). Zoom coordinates and a detailed timetable will be released on the webpage several days beforehand. We hope to meet many friends and colleagues on March 12!

Best wishes,

Woojin Kim, Alex McCleary, Facundo Mémoli, and Amit Patel.

We have now opened an advert
for two Senior Research Associate positions for the Turing-Roche
partnership. The posts are full-time for 3 years and will give the
post holder(s) experience working closely with both Turing and Roche
to help shape the direction of the partnership, as well as the freedom
to develop their own area of aligned research under the mentorship
from senior leaders in both academia and industry. We’re keen to
attract some great candidates so would appreciate if you could share
far and wide with your networks- the job advert with more information
is here. https://cezanneondemand.intervieweb.it/turing/jobs/senior_research_associate_turingroche_partnership_19065/en/

The board is very interested in TDA for health/biomed data. This is
based in London at the Alan Turing Institute, but there will be
interaction with board members, many of them across the UK including
Cambridge and Oxford. This is a senior postdoc, so some postdoc
experience would be helpful.
Please encourage strong candidates to apply!

This is a call for abstracts for contributed talks, and 
the second announcement of the 10th conference in the ATMCS series which will be held in 

Oxford, 20-24 June 2022

I would like to advertise a PhD position to work on “Higher-dimensional structure in weather data”, for a September 2022 start, under my supervision at Queen Mary University of London. 

Deadline for applications is 30 January 2022, interviews will be held shortly afterwards. 

The PhD position is funded through a QMUL Postgraduate Research Studentship:

https://www.qmul.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/funding_phd/studentships/

Applications are invited from outstanding candidates with either a strong background in algebraic topology, or in unsupervised learning and related fields. A masters degree is desirable, but not essential.

Please advertise with any suitable candidates. For any questions they should not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]

For more information on the project, and how to apply, see here:

https://www.qmul.ac.uk/maths/media/maths/postgraduate/phd-projects/Otter_22.pdf

We are currently accepting applications for a virtual Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) for next summer (2022).  Please forward this invitation to undergraduate students who may be interested.   The priority application deadline is February 1, 2022.

The REU is under the co-mentorship of Dr. Jessi Cisewski-Kehe (UW-Madison, Statistics) and Dr. Brittany Terese Fasy (Montana State, Computer Science & Mathematics).  This REU will provide research experience for two undergraduates on statistical approaches to topological data analysis (TDA).  Research projects will address challenges in working with complex data at the intersection of statistics, computer science, and mathematics with the possibility of applications, such as in astronomy.

The expected duration of the REU is 8 weeks, with an approximate start date of 1 June 2022.  The REU includes a weekly stipend plus $2000 for sustenance allowance.

If you are interested in this position, please fill out the application linked below.
