I) Conferences. Since 1979 CIRM has organized more than 260 mathematical Meetings and Conferences well appreciated by the International Math. Community; in 2015 a series of conferences will be supported. Proposals of a conference for the year 2015 should have been submitted before September 30.th, 2014. An application must contain: 1) a scientific proposal, with names of possible speakers, 2) a rather detailed financial budget, which CIRM will be asked to finance partially (up to 50%), 3) specification of the other available or planned financial resources II) Postdoc Fellowships. CIRM opens the application for two Postdoc Positions, an annual one and a triennial one, for researches in the field of Mathematics in the year 2014-2015. The fellowship amounts to Euro 23500 gross per year (taxes should be deducted), which will be supplied in 12 monthly installments, and requires the daily presence at the CIRM Institute (address: Via Sommarive 14, Povo, Trento). The applications must arrive not later than September 30.th, 2014. http://cirm.fbk.eu/postdoc-fellowships . III) CIRM activities include two more programs, a program of CIRM Visiting Professors and CIRM Visiting Scholars and another one of Research in Pairs, the latter similar to the one of the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, which expects the presence of two or three partners from Universities located in different towns, who intend to work together at CIRM, on a definite research project for a period of time ranging from one to six weeks.

It is organized as a multidisciplinary event with topics ranging from theoretical and numerical mathematics up to physics and applications. The emphasize will be on models related to topics originating in environmental, biomedical and industrial applications. The summer course is prepared for graduate students, young scientists, and other interested specialists. Besides of the course lectures, the program will include a one day workshop (on Wednesday, August 27) dedicated to short, more advanced lectures given by attending scientists. ERCOFTAC grants are available to support young scientists in order to help them to attend this event. Moreover, special 25% discount for all types of registration fees is available for participants from ERCOFTAC member institutions. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Roger Ghanem [log in to unmask] Date: May 29, 2014 Subject: Uncertainty Quantification Summer School, USA, Aug 2014 We are pleased to announce the 2014 Summer School on Uncertainty Quantification to take place at the University of Southern California on August 11-13 2014. The Summer School is co-organized by USC and QUEST, a SciDAC UQ Institute. The list of speakers/instructors consists of: Bert Debusschere, David Dunson, Tony O'Hagan, H.T. Banks, and Jean-Paul Watson. Information and registration information can be found at: http://cadmus.usc.edu/UQ-SummerSchool-2014/ Seating is limited and preference will be given to early registrants.

Salt Lake City, Utah, USA March 14-18, 2015 http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse15 Twitter hashtag: #SIAMCSE15 DEADLINES - July 31, 2014: Minisymposium proposals - August 21, 2014: Abstracts for contributed and minisymposium speakers - August 21, 2014: Abstracts for contributed posters and minisymposterium posters (thematic groups) - August 7, 2014: SIAM Student Travel Award and Post-doc/Early Career Travel Award Applications We especially encourage submissions of posters to CSE15, where we will have expanded poster sessions, including demos and thematic groups of posters (or poster minisymposia), as well as poster prizes. CSE15 poster sessions will be great opportunities for networking and interacting in depth about research topics. More details are below and on the CFP. The poster session will be preceded by a poster blitz highlighting the posters on display. In addition, prizes will be awarded --- e.g. “best overall poster” and “best student poster.” Laptop demos are encouraged and poster presenters will be able to request a small demo table alongside their poster. A minisymposium of posters (that is, a minisymposterium) consists of a collection of three or more posters by different presenters grouped around a central theme. The posters will be co-located in the poster viewing area. Minisymposterium requests should be sent by the organizer to [log in to unmask] with the subject line "CSE15 Minisymposterium" and should include a short title for the minisymposterium along with the titles of the posters and the names of the poster presenters. The poster abstracts should be submitted separately by the individual presenter of each poster using the Conference Management System available at: http://meetings.siam.org/start.cfm?CONFCODE=cs15. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Xing Cai [log in to unmask] Date: May 29, 2014 Subject: PhD Position, HPC, Simula Research Lab Simula Research Laboratory invites excellent applicants for an open PhD position in high performance scientific computing.

The candidate must be European citizen in order to be eligible for funding. Imaging subsurface structures, e.g. concrete tanks, pipes, cavities, is carried out using mainly non-intrusive techniques. Such techniques have the ability to gather information across an entire area but their detecting ability is often restricted due to unfavourable on- site conditions. In addition, the estimation of the location of any structure is based on simplistic velocity models for the subsurface and thus introducing big uncertainties in the final solution. More complicated models would require the design of numerical algorithms for large-scale accurate simulations, something that has not been applied in seismic surveys or in Seismology before. One of the objectives should be the development of new methods for the elastodynamics equations in frequency regime. This systems is indefinite in nature, with highly heterogeneous coefficients and multiple spatial scales. Moreover, since the properties of the medium are very often unknown, this implies the solution of inverse problems, which lead to repeatedly solve large and complex linear systems, whose size could attain millions of unknowns in the high frequency regime. This project will contribute by large scale numerical simulation of partial differential equations based models in an in-depth knowledge of different aspects of mathematical models from geophysics and geology.
