Dear colleagues,

I am writing in hopes that one of you will join me in our department next fall. We are advertising one faculty position — either at the tenure track or tenured level — for an appointment to begin next July and expect to advertise more positions in the near future. (In particular, do not let a two body problem prevent you from applying.) Algebraic geometry and algebraic topology, broadly defined, are areas of priority for this search, though we will consider exceptional candidates in all areas of pure mathematics.

http://mathematics.jhu.edu

We are also are searching for an experienced teaching faculty member to join the department as a Senior Lecturer or Associate Teaching Professor. This is viewed by the department as a leadership position, with latitude to re-imagine our existing course offerings, and intended as a long-term hire. More details can be found here:

http://mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/14278

In addition, we are looking to fill two three-year postdoctoral positions for J.J. Sylvester Assistant Professors.

Johns Hopkins (note the unexpected “s”) is a private research university located in Baltimore, Maryland. We teach a high proportion of the undergraduate population because a large number of Johns Hopkins undergraduates (double or triple) major in the sciences, and we have around 34 PhD students in our department as well as 6-8 postdoctoral fellows.

Research interests of departmental faculty include algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, algebraic topology, category theory, data science, differential geometry, fluid dynamics, general relativity, geometric analysis, harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, several complex variables, statistical learning theory, and stochastic processes.

I’d be happy to answer any questions about the department or about living in Baltimore. I’ve also copied my colleague, David Savitt, on this message, who is currently the department chair.

Regards,
Emily Riehl

Hi All,

Julien Tierny and Steve Oudot are seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher in topological data analysis here at Sorbonne University. The position will focus on research projects at the intersection between TDA, data visualization and data science. They are seeking candidates with background in at least one of these areas.

Please feel free to contact them if you are interested. Their contact info:
Julien Tierny: CNRS and Sorbonne Univ, email: [email protected]
Steve Oudot: INRIA Saclay, and Ecole Polytechnique, email: [email protected]

Best,

AAAI and the CS Department at Hunter College are co-hosting an
undergraduate AI outreach workshop in connection with AAAI-2020:
http://bit.do/AAAI20-Outreach. Please pass this information on to any
undergraduates in the NY/NJ/CT area who may be interested.

The workshop features the Cozmo robot by Anki and the Calypso robot
intelligence framework by Visionary Machines LLC. The goal is to give
students interested in AI a chance to experiment hands-on with real AI
algorithms for computer vision, face and emotion recognition, speech
recognition and generation, landmark-based navigation, and path
planning. Prior robotics experience is not required.

On the first day of the workshop (Saturday, Feb. 8), at Hunter College,
participants will learn Calypso programming and create robotic demos or
games with the theme of "how AI can make our lives better." On the
second day (Sunday, Feb. 9) participants will introduce their creations
to the public at a free, open event at the American Museum of Natural
History.

The students selected for the workshop are not required to register for
AAAI-2020, but they are welcome to do so and attend the conference if
they wish. The workshop itself has no fee, but space is limited.
Applications are due by January 17.

Postdoc Research Associate Position in Data Science at UTK

Dear Colleague,

I hope my email finds you well.

I would like to let you know that I am looking for a postdoc research associate in the area of mathematical data science and precisely in topological data analysis, computational statistics and applied probability. The position is for 2 years, it is 100% research oriented and there is no teaching involved, unless the postdoc would like to do so in year 2. The link below provides all the necessary info on how to apply, etc:

https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/11238

I would greatly appreciate it if you forwarded the message to anyone who may be interested.

Thank you very much in advance.

Dear all,

I am writing from the Biostatistics and Health Informatics Department at King's College London. Applications are invited for a PhD in Topological Data Analysis for personalised medicine. Please find more information at Theme 2,proj 30.2: http://kcl-mrcdtp.com/projects
Candidates should have spent at least three years in UK before starting the program. I am happy to discuss either in person/by Skype.
Thank you!

Short abstract:

The efficacy of antidepressant drugs varies by individual. Clinician are unable to predict who will respond to what treatment. Findings suggest that response to antidepressant drugs is a complex trait, driven by multiple components in co-action or interaction. The aim of this project is to develop new Multivariate Machine Learning methods based on Topological Data Analysis and the mapper algorithm that will combine genetic with demographic and clinical variables to improve prediction of antidepressant outcome at the individual level. Algorithms will be applied to 3899 subjects from different international datasets. This project combines (a) the development of cutting-edge methods for treatment personalisation, using TDA as a novelty, plus (b) the practical application of the developed methods to a very relevant area, with a real potential to improve patients’ health.
