Dear colleagues: In the very beginning of the MSRI program on Tropical Geometry, we are organizing a workshop entitled “Connections for Women”:
http://www.msri.org/calendar/workshops/WorkshopInfo/480/show_workshop
This 2-days workshop will be held as a week-end event on August 22-23 and will be immediately followed by the Introductory Workshop, August 24-28. Its aim on the one hand is to introduce advanced graduate students and postdocs to Tropical Geometry. On the other hand, it is supposed to provide a platform for interaction that is particularly tailored to women in the early stages of their careers in mathematics. There will be two short-courses of 2x 1h-lectures by Hannah Markwig and Federico Ardila, a number of research talks by prominent women in the field and a panel discussion on career issues of female mathematicians. As an important activity of the workshop, we plan for a session of (very) short contributions by participants, consisting of focused two to three slides each. We strongly encourage participants of all levels to send an abstract to us by email along with completing their registration. We would be very happy to see you at MSRI for this workshop! Also, please help us circulate this information and forward it in particular to female graduate students and postdocs. There is limited funding available for travel and lodging expenses and female researchers will be given priority for support. The application deadline for funding is Monday, June 15, 2009. Registration will be open until the workshop starts. We are looking forward to an inspiring week-end in the beginning of the tropical semester at MSRI!
With best regards,
Alicia Dickenstein
Eva-Maria Feichtner

We are seeking to appoint someone with expertise in Analysis, which is to be interpreted broadly, so including Applied Analysis, Complex Analysis, Numerical Analysis and Stochastic Analysis.
At present there is one lectureship advertised, however we expect that a second lectureship will also be approved shortly, also with expertise in Analysis. I would be grateful if you could bring this to the attention of anyone who might be interested.
Positions for PhD students, early post docs and visiting scientists at
CMA, University of Oslo
——————————————————————————————————-
The EU-funded Initial Training Network SAGA (www.saga-network.eu) is
looking for promising candidates to fill its available positions. In
particular, the following positions are available at the Centre of
Mathematics for Applications, University of Oslo, Norway (www.cma.uio.no):
• 1 individual 3-year PhD student position for an “early stage researcher”
(see http://saga-network.eu/index.php/project/wp-2/algebraic-spline)
• 1 position for initial training of “experienced researchers” (typically
postdocs) for a duration of 12 months (with possibility of extension to 24
months)
• 1 or 2 positions for “visiting scientists” for a duration of up to two
months.
The successful candidates will contribute to the workpackages of SAGA, in
particular to WP2 (Geometric Computing – Algebraic Tools).
For all positions, the time of employment must end not later than October
31, 2012. All candidates must satisfy the eligibility criteria as
described in Section III.3(2) of Annex III: Specific Provisions, Marie
Curie Initial training networks, which is available at:

The closing date for applications for the PhD position is March 27, 2009
(late applicants can still be considered), and for the postdoc position
May 29, 2009. Female candidates are encouraged to apply.
In order to apply for these positions, please send your CV and an
application letter to
Prof. Ragni Piene, CMA/Department of Mathematics,
