Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) at Brown University invites graduate students to apply to the program "Computational Symplectic Topology".  This team-based research program will address a number of cutting-edge research topics within symplectic and Hamiltonian dynamics, with a special focus on computational and experimental aspects.

Program structure:
Several projects will be developed by the faculty organizers. Graduate students will be collaborating in teams formed around each project. All graduate students will participate in both sessions of the program: 05/17/2015 - 05/26/2015 in Tel-Aviv, and 07/27/2015 - 08/05/2015 at ICERM. Between the site visits, the teams will continue collaborating remotely via email and video-conferencing.

Faculty leaders:
Richard Hind (University of Notre Dame), Yaron Ostrover and Leonid Polterovich (Tel Aviv University), Michael Usher (University of Georgia).

Selection and financial arrangements:
We plan to have 14 graduate students participate in the program (7 from US universities and 7 Israeli students). Review of applications will begin on January 2, 2015 and close when the positions are filled. Accepted US-based graduate students will be reimbursed for travel (to ICERM and to Tel-Aviv) and for local accommodations (shared housing). A meal allowance is included.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
