Aarhus Summer School on TDA in Stochastic Geometry and Image Processing, 2025-08-04 – 08, Aarhus, Denmark

Christian Hirsch and his colleagues write:
It is our pleasure to announce the Aarhus summer school on “Topological data analysis in stochastic geometry and image processing” to be held atAarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, August 04-08, 2025. The summer school on “Topological data analysis in stochastic geometry and image processing” is a five-day event with the aim of introducing young researchers to the highly active fields of Topological Data Analysis (TDA), Stochastic Geometry and Image Processing. The key elements of the summer school are lectures by four distinguished keynote speakers and the analysis of real-world datasets in group project work educating young researchers towork at the interface of TDA and Stochastic Geometry

The principal target group is PhD students and postdocs in topology, probability theory, and related subjects.

The invited lecturers are:

  • Omer Bobrowski (Queen Mary University, London) 
  • Anna Gusakova (University of Münster)
  • Anthea Monod (Imperial College, London) 
  • Raphaël Lachièze-Rey (INRIA Paris)

The registration will open in mid March 2025. Further information can be found at http://aarhustda.info/

We are looking forward to an inspiring event.

AATRN’s in-person conference at iMSi, Chicago, Aug 18-22

Hi everyone!

We are extremely excited to announce AATRN’s first-ever in-person conference, The Geometric Realization of AATRN. It will be held at iMSi, the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation, in Chicago, IL, USA, over August 18-22, 2025. Here is the conference website: imsi.topology.rocks

Registration is already open, and speakers have already been selected. We have intentionally not packed the schedule with too many talks. We encourage folks to sign up to present posters, and will have more than one poster session as appropriate to accommodate all interested attendees. Travel funding decisions are made by iMSi, but our understanding is that they have funding opportunities for both domestic and international attendees. We hope to meet the building capacity of the iMSi institute, which to the best of our understanding hasn’t been accomplished yet! For those who can’t attend in-person, talks will also be live-streamed, recorded, and posted on AATRN’s YouTube channel — but we encourage you to register and to try to attend in-person. Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

See our attached advertisement poster (and please contact us if you would like a high-resolution version for printing).

Best, the AATRN directors

Conference Announcement: Applied Topology in Poznan 2025

Julian Brüggemann writes:

“We are happy to announce the upcoming Applied Topology Conference, to be
held on the campus of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań from July
14–18, 2025. After three successful editions in Będlewo, we are excited
to bring the conference to a new location, providing a fresh setting for
this gathering of topologists.

More information will follow soon on the conference website.

The conference will be preceded by an introductory workshop on
topological data analysis on July 12-13.

Please save the date and stay tuned for more information!

3-Year Postdoc Position In Aberdeen

Ran Levi writes:

“The Institute of Mathematics in Aberdeen is offering a postdoctoral position funded by an EPSRC Network grant under the title “The Mathematical Foundation of Artificial Intelligence – An Erlangen programme.

The network, led by Oxford, includes 6 institutions, 38 researchers, and a growing number of business partners. The programme aims to produce a study based on rigorous mathematical principles that would bring better understanding of existing AI methods as well as a new generation of methods that have guaranteed expressive and generalisation power, better interpretability, scalability, and data- and computational-efficiency.  

The part Aberdeen will play within this programme is based on the work and experience of Professor Ran Levi in applications of algebra, graph theory, category theory, and algebraic topology to science, and particularly neuroscience. Work will be carried out primarily within the Institute of Mathematics which is a part of the School of Natural and Computing Science

The successful candidate will have a PhD in pure or applied algebraic topology, and a working knowledge of mathematical programming such as python or C++.  The post will require collaborative work with Prof Levi on the subject of the programme, as well as meetings, discussions and collaborative work with other parties involved in the project. Application materials should include information both on mathematical and on computing skills. 

Closing date for applications is 15th November. Interviews are expected to take place online by the end of November. For more information and to apply online click here.

Informal inquiries are welcome. Please write to Ran Levi at r.levi@abdn.ac.uk. “

Max Planck Research Group Leader (W2) in Topological Data Analysis

The deadline for applications including references is October 4, 2024.

“We are looking for internationally recognized scholars from the mathematical sciences with a research profile in applied and/or computational topology with experience working in biology, statistics, machine learning, modelling, dynamical systems and/or optimization. We encourage pioneering projects that transcend disciplinary boundaries.

The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the adjacent Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD) pursue a mission to advance multiscale biological discovery through innovative and cutting-edge mathematics, physics, and computation. With the recent appointment of Prof Heather Harrington as director at MPI-CBG and CSBD the institute is heavily investing in expanding mathematics for living systems.

Our offer:

  • The initial group leader appointment is for 6 years, with the possibility of a 3-year extension upon successful evaluation, for a total possible duration of 9 years.
  • The competitive salary and benefits are based on the W2 remuneration group of the Federal Civil Service Remuneration Act (Bundesbesoldungsgesetz).

Candidates should hold a PhD in mathematics or related fields, ideally awarded within the past seven years, and have postdoctoral research experience. An anticipated start date would be Autumn 2025.”

Tenure track positions (2) in Mathematics (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor)

Mathematics education and research at Tampere University are hosted by the Computing Sciences unit and the Faculty of Information Technology and Communications. We conduct strong research in the areas of mathematics including

  • Applications of algebraic topology
  • Inverse problems
  • Mathematical logic
  • Mathematical systems theory and functional analysis

Our personnel consists of 5 professors, 15 lecturers/instructors, and roughly 30 research staff members including post-doctoral researchers and doctoral students. To complement and strengthen our research profile, we invite applications for 2 positions of Assistant/Associate/Full Professors in Mathematics (Tenure Track). We are seeking candidates with an excellent track record in the following areas of mathematics:

  • Profile 1: Algebra and topology
  • Profile 2: Mathematical analysis

Theoretical mathematics research is an essential requirement in both profiles. For Profile 1, expertise on applications such as topological data analysis is considered an additional strength. For Profile 2, we especially value research in analysis of partial differential equations.

The successful candidate is expected to lead world-class scientific research and to demonstrate their potential in securing substantial research funding. They will also participate in teaching and supervision of students in the areas of algebra, topology and/or mathematical analysis. We are seeking an active member to our academic community and value potential for local research collaboration. The more detailed tenure-track objectives will be set based on the level and previous experience of the candidate.
