1- Offres de th�se � Edinburgh
(source : J. Malick)

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data Science is now
inviting applications
for 10 fully-funded PhD studentships at the University of Edinburgh,
to start in September
2015. Students with a strong background in computer science,
mathematics, physics, or
engineering are particularly encouraged to apply.

The CDT focuses on the computational principles, methods, and systems
for extracting knowledge
from data. Large data sets are now generated by almost every activity
in science, society, and
commerce --- ranging from molecular biology to social media, from
sustainable energy to health
care. Data science asks: How can we efficiently find patterns in these
vast streams of data?
Many research areas have tackled parts of this problem:

* machine learning focuses on finding patterns and making predictions
from data;
* databases are needed for efficiently accessing data and ensuring its
quality;
* ideas from algorithms are required to build systems that scale to
big data streams;
* the mathematical fields of statistics and optimization provide
foundational tools and theory;
* natural language processing, computer vision, and speech processing
consider the analysis of
different types of unstructured data.

Recently, these distinct disciplines have begun to converge into a
single field called data
science.

The CDT is a 4-year programme: the first year provides Masters level
training in the core areas
of data science, along with a significant project. In years 2-4
students will carry out PhD
research in Data Science, guided by PhD supervisors from within the
centre. The CDT is funded
by EPSRC and the University of Edinburgh.

Because of constraints from funding agencies, there are different
rules for funding depending
on your fee status:

* UK and EU students: Full funding (fees and stipend) is available.
* Non-EU students: Funding is significantly more competitive; for
details, please see
     http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/apply/information-for-non-eu-students/

There are three deadlines for applications:

* 12 December 2014 -- all overseas applicants should apply by this
deadline for full consideration
* 30 January 2015 -- all UK and EU applicants should apply by this
deadline for full consideration
* 13 March 2015 -- any remaining UK and EU studentships will be
allocated in the third round

See http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/apply/ for further information and
application forms.

Enquiries can be sent to datascience at inf.ed.ac.uk

3- PostDoctoral Position, Universidad de Chile, starting june 2015
(source : R. Cominetti)

Up to two postdoctoral fellowship are available at Universidad de
Chile (Santiago) starting in June 2015, or by mutual agreement at any
date thereafter. We are looking for applicants with interests in the

Algorithms.

The selected candidate will work within a team of researchers gathered
in the N�cleo Milenio project "Information and Coordination in
Networks" (see http://acgo.dii.uchile.cl), and is expected to devote
fully to research. The appointment will be for a period of 12 months,
renewable by mutual agreement, with a monthly salary of 1.500.000 CLP
(approx. US$2.500 tax free). Shorter periods may also be considered.
Travel support is available.

Applicants must hold a recent PhD or be close to finishing their
thesis. Applications including curriculum vitae, list of publications,
research plan (1 or 2 pages), and names of references with their
e-mail addresses, should be sent electronically to Jose Correa
correa at uchile.cl . To ensure full consideration the application should
be sent before the deadline of March 15th, 2015. Late applications
will be considered on a case by case basis.

For further information please feel free to contact any of the group members.

14- Workshop on Computational Optimization (WCO'15), Lodz, Poland
(source : D. Aussel)

8th Workshop on Computational Optimization (WCO'15)
in the framework of the FEDERATED CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND
INFORMATION SYSTEMS (FedCSIS'14)
Lodz, Poland, 13-16 September, 2015
https://fedcsis.org/wco

Many real world problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and
other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks. These problems
are frequently characterized by non-convex, non-differentiable,
discontinuous, noisy or dynamic objective functions and constraints
which ask for adequate computational methods.

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate the communication between
researchers working on different fields of optimization and
practitioners who need reliable and efficient computational optimization
methods.

We invite original contributions related to both theoretical and
practical aspects of optimization methods.
