Postdoc position at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)

I am looking to hire a postdoc for a project that is focused on studying categories of (various classes of) dynamical systems. The project has dual, interconnected purposes: (i) developing categorical models of coupled, physically realizable nonlinear systems and their properties; as well as (ii) exploring the internal structure of these categories with an eye toward type theoretic connections.

Candidates must be U.S. citizens, preferably with a background in applied category theory, type theory or related fields. The position is in Dayton, Ohio, USA, for one year with two additional years possible; the starting date is flexible.

For more information or to apply, please contact me at jared.culbertson@us.af.mil.

Matthew Wright and I are organizing a 3-day tutorial, titled “Multiparameter Persistence, Computation, and Applications” at the IMA in Minneapolis, August 13-15.

Details, including a tentative list of speakers, can be found here.

Those interested in participating should apply at the website linked above by March 15.  We expect to be able to provide travel support for at least 20 participants.  Members of groups underrepresented in mathematics are especially encouraged to apply.  Notifications of acceptance and funding will go out by April 1.

The 3 PhD positions at the University of Liverpool (UK) are for UK/EU students, though international candidates can contribute to higher tuition fees. Programming skills in C++ or Python are needed. E-mail informal enquiries to vitaliy.kurlin(at)gmail.com

Project 1 : Data Science and Machine Learning Applied to the Discovery of Solid Lithium Ion Conductors. Supervisors: Dr Matthew Dyer and Dr Vitaliy Kurlin. Deadline : 28 February 2018, funded for 3.5 years from October 2018.

Project 2 : Analysis of energy landscapes of molecular crystal structures employing combinatorial and topological methodologies.
Supervisors: Dr Yannis Goulermas, Dr Vitaliy Kurlin, Prof Graeme Day. Deadline : 1 May 2018, funded for 3 years from October 2018.

Project 3 : Data Driven Discovery of Functional Molecular Co-crystals.  Supervisors: Dr Matthew Dyer and Dr Vitaliy Kurlin. Deadline : 31 July 2018, funded for 3.5 years from October 2018.

As part of the major new Oxford-Swansea-Liverpool Center for Topological Data Analysis (funded by EPSRC grant EP/R018472/1), we are looking for a PhD student to join the Swansea team in investigating applications of topology to data science and physics.

Our team consist of:
Dr Pawel Dlotko – interested in applied and computational topology and data analysis.

Dr Jeffrey Giansiracusa -interested in topology and tropical algebraic geometry.

Prof. Biagio Lucini -interested in computational physics and quantum theory.

A postdoc with research interests in topological data analysis.

Multiple PhD students

The precise focus of the project will be adapted to the interests and background of the successful candidate. Potential emphasis could be in one or more of the following: new computational methods in topological data analysis, algebraic/geometric and category theoretic aspects of topology, topological analysis of phase transitions and topological objects in quantum field theory and other systems.

Topological Data Analysis and Persistent Homology – First Announcement

A school devoted to Topological Data Analysis and Persistent Homology will take place from Monday, June 11 to Friday June 15, 2018, at the Hotel Bellavista in Levico Terme (Trento, Italy), in the framework of the scientific activity of CIRM-FBK (cirm.fbk.eu/).

The program consists of three mini-courses delivered by John Harer (Duke University), Steve Oudot (INRIA Saclay) and Christopher J. Tralie (Duke University).

For details we refer to the official webpage of the school, now published at the link http://www.science.unitn.it/cirm/TDAPH2018.html

Some funds to cover living expenses for young participants are available.

The deadline for registration and application for financial support is April 30, 2018.

I have an opening for a PhD position in the use of topological descriptors and HPC methods for digital pathology, see below.

A PhD research assistantship in visualization and computational topology of biomedical data is available in the Department of Computer Science at Tulane University under the supervision of Brian Summa and Carola Wenk, part of the NSF-funded project “Quantifying Morphologic Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer – Developing Topological Descriptors for Machine Learning Algorithms”. See here for more information on the project:
http://www.cs.tulane.edu/~carola/research/qubbd.html
This is an interdisciplinary project including faculty and students from Tulane University and Montana State University in the areas of Mathematics, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, and Pathology.

The focus of this PhD research assistantship is on the visualization and high-performance computing aspects of topological descriptors computed on gigapixel image data. This research assistantship is for three years of the typically 5-year PhD program in Computer Science, starting in Fall 2018.

For more information and to apply please contact Brian Summa (bsumma@tulane.edu) or Carola Wenk (cwenk@tulane.edu). See here for more information and application instructions for Tulane’s Computer Science PhD program: http://www2.tulane.edu/sse/cs/academics/graduate/
