1- Faculty position in Applied Mathematics, University of Maryland
Baltimore County (UMBC)
(source : J.-B. Caillau)
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of
Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) invites applications for one tenure-
track faculty position in Applied Mathematics at the rank of Assistant
Professor starting in the fall of 2017. The successful candidate
should have a PhD in mathematics or a related field, have an active,
independent research program, strong potential for obtaining external
funding, and a commitment to excellence in teaching. Preference will
be given to candidates who are able to interact with existing groups
in the Department, conduct interdisciplinary research, as well as
those who could continue to strengthen connections with research
groups across the university. Applicants with postdoctoral experience
are encouraged to apply. The Department offers BS, MS and PhD degrees
in applied mathematics and in statistics. For more information, see
our website at http://mathstat.umbc.edu. Current research areas in the
Department include applied analysis, numerical analysis and scientific
computing, differential equations, optimization and optimal control,
mathematical modeling, mathematical biology and stochastic processes.
The departmental culture encourages significant interdisciplinary
research collaboration outside the department, with a strong emphasis to
involve undergraduate, as well as graduate students, in the research
activities. UMBC is a public research university which integrates
teaching and research, and has a strong emphasis on science and
engineering at the graduate level. UMBC is located between Baltimore and
Washington, and is in close proximity to several federal research
agencies.
A complete application should include a cover letter, C.V., summary of
current research program, teaching statement, and three letters of
reference. All application materials should be submitted through
MathJobs. Screening of applicants will commence December 1, 2016, and
will continue until the position is filled.

of functions (Berstein polynomials and Taylor models).
Another interest is to formalize in Coq some results in real and complex
analysis (differential equations, Padé approximants, generalized Fourier
series or Lyapunov certificates).
Funding starts in 2017 and is available for 12 months. The net salary
is around 2100 euros/month, (health insurance and social coverage are
included).
The candidate must have a PhD, and a strong knowledge in theorem proving
and/or mathematics.

Applicants should have comprehensive experience/expertise in
computational mathematics, optimization, or statistics, and programming
in C, Matlab, Python, or another scientific programming language.
Considerable knowledge is desired at least one of theory/analysis of
optimization algorithms or parallel computing.

22- Notice sur Robert Janin
(source : J.-P. Penot)
Robert Janin nous a quittés le 3 octobre à Caen. Il a été professeur à
l'Université de Poitiers, puis à l'Université Antilles-Guyanne avant
de revenir vivre à Caen. Lorsque j'ai reçu l'annonce de son décès
j'avais sous les yeux, à côté de mon clavier, un texte de Robert Janin
et un autre cosigné de Jean-Pierre Dedieu et Robert Janin sur les
conditions d'optimalité d'ordre trois et quatre. La coïncidence
m'a frappé. J'étudiais ces articles pour examiner s'ils avaient une
relation avec des conditions d'optimalité d'ordre supérieur (non
spécifié) pour des fonctions pas nécessairement différentiables. Ces
deux articles, rédigés d'une belle écriture manuscrite, sont restés
inédits à ma connaissance. Je vois dans ce fait un reflet de la
personnalité de Robert qui tournait le dos au "Publish or perish"
qui s'installait dans le monde scientifique. Une autre marque de
cette attitude se trouve dans la dérision manifestée par Robert à
l'égard de sa thèse enfermée dans les murs des bâtiments de Jussieu à la
suite de l'opération de désamiantage. Je lui ai dit mon regret de ce
fait, car à mon sens elle contient des approches innovantes concernant
des classes de fonctions non différentiable ayant des propriétés
remarquables, appelées par lui fonctions PC1 et PC2. Elles anticipaient
d'autres travaux qui ont connu des retentissements importants (fonctions
sous-C1 et sous-C2 ou semi-convexes).
Impulsés par Robert Pallu de la Barrière, son directeur de thèse
(ainsi que celui de Charles Castaing, Ivar Ekeland, Etienne Lanéry,
Philippe Michel, Michel Valadier, D. Saxir Thiam, Van Cutsem......) les
travaux de Robert Janin ont été motivés par la commande optimale, aussi
appelée contrôle optimal. A cette époque, Halkin et Neustadt avaient
donné un nouveau tour à ce domaine jusqu'alors dominé par l'école russe
en suggérant de réduire certains aspects de ces problèmes (comme les
conditions d'optimalité) à des problèmes de programmation mathématique.
Il était donc naturel de s'intéresser aux propriétés de la fonction
valeur. Aussi, c'est dans le domaine de la sensibilité (étude des
propriétés de continuité et de dérivabilité de la fonction valeur) que
les contributions de Robert Janin ont été les plus importantes. Il a
réuni autour de lui des contributeurs comme Luc Barbet, Bruce Craven,
Jacques Gauvin, Jean-Claude Mado, Jacky Narayaninsamy, Michael Ranguin,
Rémi Sentis et d'autres qui ne me viennent pas à l'esprit.
Ce faisant, il a galvanisé des énergies, suscité des enthousiasmes et
donné une impulsion à l'Université Antilles-Guyane qui a perduré et l'a
hissée au rang des universités de taille réduite mais d'activité
remarquable. Le charme de Robert, son humour, la profondeur de ses vues
mathématiques resteront dans bien des mémoires, comme la force des
vagues frappant la côte au vent sur laquelle il avait bâti sa maison.
