The IMA is pleased to announce the Seventh Biennial IMA Conference on
Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization.  The success of modern
codes for large-scale optimization is heavily dependent on the use of
effective tools of numerical linear algebra. On the other hand, many
problems in numerical linear algebra lead to linear, nonlinear or
semidefinite optimization problems. The purpose of the conference is
to bring together researchers from both communities and to find and
communicate points and topics of common interest. This Conference has
been organised in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

Conference topics include any subject that could be of interest to
both communities, such as: Direct and iterative methods for large
sparse linear systems; Eigenvalue computation and optimization;
Large-scale nonlinear and semidefinite programming; Effect of
round-off errors, stopping criteria, embedded iterative procedures;
Optimization issues for matrix polynomials; Fast matrix computations;
Compressed/sparse sensing; PDE-constrained optimization; Distributed
computing and optimization; Applications and real time optimization.

Experimental biologists are generating data at an unprecedented rate.
Unfortunately, biological insight has not kept pace with this deluge
of data. The goal of my lab is to improve the inference of biological
meaning from the wealth of experimental data collected from single
cells to whole organisms. To do so, we develop sophisticated
statistical and computational tools that enable integrated analyses of
noisy, heterogeneous datasets. More information on the lab can be
found at http://daiglelab.org.

Assistantships are available for students interested in pursuing a
Ph.D.  in computational systems biology. Our research in this area
involves developing and applying computational methods for inferring
gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from single-cell gene expression data.
Currently, we have openings on a project applying deep learning
techniques to rapidly and accurately infer GRNs from single-cell RNA-
sequencing data.

The successful candidate should be highly motivated and have some
Python programming experience. Prior research experience in
bioinformatics and/or computational biology is desirable. Details
about admission and degree requirements can be found at

Applicants must apply to both The University of Memphis Graduate
School and the Biological Sciences graduate program. To ensure full
consideration, applications should be completed by February 1.
Accepted students will be supported through a graduate assistantship.

From: Heike Sill [log in to unmask]
Date: January 10, 2020
Subject: PhD Positions, Stochastic Analysis in Interaction

The newly established, international Research Training Group 2544
(Graduiertenkolleg) on "Stochastic Analysis in Interaction" is a
collaborative venture of TU Berlin, HU Berlin, FU Berlin and WIAS in
collaboration with the University of Oxford, UK, aiming at research
training in the vibrant area of Stochastic Analysis.

Faculty II - Institute of Mathematics / Research Training Group 2544
(Graduiertenkolleg) Stochastic Analysis in Interaction Reference
number: II-937/19 (starting at 01/04/20 / until 31/03/23 / closing
date for applications 20/01/20)

Working field: Our PhD projects in stochastic analysis span from
fundamental mathematical questions to applications in Biology, Data
Science and Statistics, Finance, and Physics. Jointly supervised by
leading experts from Berlin and Oxford, the Berlin IRTG students will
form a team with a similarly large number of students on the Oxford
side, supported, e.g., by the Centre for Doctoral Training
"Mathematics of Random Systems".

Requirements: successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom
or equivalent) in Mathematics or closely related disciplines strong
knowledge of stochastic analysis; good command of English or German,
together with good academic writing and presentation skills required;
the willingness to learn either English or German is expected;
eagerness to engage in exchange with Oxford partners, also during a
six months research visit in Oxford.  More information can be obtained
from Prof. Dr. Bank ([log in to unmask], Internet:
https://www.math.tu-berlin.de/IRTG/).

Please send your application with the reference number II-937/19 and
the usual documents (in particular short motivation letter, complete
and up-to-date curriculum vitae, names and contact details of at least
2 references whose letters should be available by the deadline of this
call, Bachelor's and Master's transcripts, certificates (with grades),
Masterss and Bachelor's thesis (if available)) preferably in English
as a single electronic document (pdf file) to [log in to unmask]

Fakultat II, Institut fur Mathematik, Prof. Dr. Peter Bank, Sekr. MA
7-1, Strasse des 17. Juni 136, 10623 Berlin.

To ensure equal opportunities between women and men, applications by
women with the required qualifications are explicitly
desired. Qualified individuals with disabilities will be favored. The
participating institutions value the diversity of their members and
are committed to the goals of equal opportunities. Please send copies
only. Original documents will not be returned.
