Postdoc & PhD positions at Queen Mary University of London

We’re excited to invite applications for:

(1) A two-year postdoc position, and (2) a fully funded PhD position, at Queen Mary University of London.

These are 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.

Tenure track position in Mathematics at Wesleyan University

On behalf of Iris Yoon:

Wesleyan University is hiring in applied mathematics, broadly construed, including applied topology! Wesleyan is unique in that it’s a liberal arts institution with a small PhD program in Mathematics. You can teach graduate-level classes and advise PhD students while being in a liberal arts environment. The department is extremely supportive and friendly. My colleagues have created a truly special, warm work environment.

Jardine-Fest at University of Western Ontario, June 8-12, 2026

Chris Kapulkin writes:
We are pleased to announce a conference on Homotopy Theory, K-theory, and Topological Data Analysis that will be held at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont. from June 8 to 12, 2026.

The conference honours the work of John F. (Rick) Jardine, a professor at the University of Western Ontario. Over his more than 40 year career, Rick has made foundational contributions to homotopy theory, K-theory, and topological data analysis, in particular shaping the current landscape of homotopical algebra.

ATMCS 11 – Remember to register and book housing!

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!
