2) One year postdoctoral position in the ANR MAGA

De      : Rida Laraki
Lien    : Boris.Thibert at univ-grenoble-alpes.fr

Location : Grenoble, France
Discipline : Computational aspects of optimal transport and applications
Supervisor : Boris Thibert
Duration : no later than Oct 2019 (could also be May or June 2019)
Salary : around 2,000 euros/month, net of social taxes (might be a bit 
more, depending on the experience).

MAGA (Monge-Ampère and Computational Geometry) is a research project 
funded by the French ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) for 
2016-2020. It involves researchers from several institutions, including 
a group at Labo- ratoire Jean Kuntzmann in Grenoble. The main topics of 
this project are discrete and computational aspects of optimal 
transport, and applications of optimal transport to economics, 
engineering and natural sciences. More information on this research 
project can be found browsing its MAGA site.

The group in Grenoble seeks a post-doctoral researcher, to be hired for 
one academic year, 2019/2020. The selec- ted post-doc will work under 
the supervision of Boris Thibert, but collaborations with other members 
of the MAGA project or from the Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann will be 
encouraged. In particular, depending on the chosen topic, the post-doc 
might also be working in collaboration with Edouard Oudet, Ludovic Me 
́tivier or Quentin Me ́rigot. The researcher will be employed by 
Universite ́ Grenoble Alpes, under a fixed-term contract of one year. No 
teaching duty is associated to this position. Professional travel 
expenses will be covered by the MAGA project.

Applications are welcome by any scientist with experience in the 
above-mentioned fields, holding a Doctoral degree, or expecting to get 
it by the starting date of the contract. In order to apply, candidates 
must send their complete CV, the list of their publications with links 
to retrieve them on the web, and a short research project (at most one 
page) to Boris.Thibert at univ-grenoble-alpes.fr. Applications must be 
received by May 30, 2019. The research project must be related to the 
activities of MAGA and to the research interests of the group based at 
Grenoble, i.e.
— computational aspects of optimal transport
— discretization of variational problems involving Laguerre diagrams ;
— applications of optimal transport or prescribed jacobian equations 
(economics, seismology,...) — Inverse problems in optics, especially 
involving extended light sources.

The applicants are welcome to contact Boris Thibert in order to prepare 
their research project.

PhD position: Formal methods in control (Munich, Germany)
=========================================================

We invite applications for a doctoral researcher position in the field
of formal methods in control. The successful candidate is expected to
advance the state of the art of abstraction-based synthesis and
verification, to facilitate routine and efficient application of the
approach to nonlinear continuous-state plants and complex
specifications. Depending on background and interests of the
candidate, the research focus will be either on algorithms and
software development, or on theoretical foundations.

Required qualifications:
* MSc degree (or equivalent, giving access to doctoral studies) in
Mathematics, Systems and Control, Computer Science, or a related
field. Students about to complete their MSc will also be considered.
* Strong theoretical or mathematical background, and a strong interest
in dynamical or control systems.
* Programming skills.
* Efficient communication skills in English.

In addition, an intended focus on algorithms and software requires
past exposure to and strong interest in professional-grade software
development, while for a focus on theoretical foundations a strong
mathematical or theoretical background is needed. Experience in one of
the following fields would be a plus but is not necessarily required:
Set-valued or validated numerics; dynamic programming; formal methods
in control; reactive synthesis; information-based complexity / optimal
recovery.

The position is full-time and paid according to pay scale ``TVOeD
Bund, E 13''. Initial appointment is for two years, with possible
extension contingent on availability of funds and research
performance. The position is open to applicants worldwide; no special
security clearance necessary.

Your complete application consists of the following documents, which
should be sent as a single PDF file to the email address given below
(deadline: May 5, 2019):

* CV with photo
* One-page cover letter (clearly indicating available start date as
well as relevant qualifications, experience and motivation)
* University certificates and transcripts (both BSc and MSc degrees)
* Contact details of up to three referees

Field Games and Related Topics”, that have been organised every two 
years since 2011 with the aim of discussing recent advances in the 
modeling, analysis and numerical approximation of Mean Field Games 
systems as well as some related, even if different, approaches to the 
description of macroscopic behaviors in collective dynamics.

Applications from young researchers wishing to deliver short 
communications are strongly encouraged. Deadline for submitting an 
abstract is April 30, 2019 (see

FGS’2019: DEADLINE EXTENSION

**** Submissions (talks & MS): EXTENDED to May 15, 2019 ****

**** Registrations early bird deadline: June 30, 2019 ****

The 19th French-German-Swiss conference on Optimization will take place 
in Nice from September 17 to 20, 2019. This series of conferences began 
in 1980 at Oberwolfach and has gathered since French and German 
colleagues in optimization every other year. It is customary to invite a 
third country to participate.

In 2019, the invited country is Switzerland.

Theses conferences usually gather from 100 to 150 mathematicians and are 
the main meeting of European researchers in optimization in the broad 
sense. The 2019 edition is organized by LJAD and I3S labs from CNRS, and 
by Inria Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée center. The conference will be 
located on the Valrose campus of Université Côte d'Azur, on the heights 
of Nice.

A limited number of grants has been planned to cover the registration 
fees for students (undergraduate, graduate or postdoc). Students wanting 
to apply for these grants shall
- send an email to fgs-2019 at sciencesconf.org including a cv and asking 
for a grant
- submit a talk (contributed or within a mini-symposium)

before May 15, 2019.

11) Appel à projets du PGMO

De      : Rida Laraki
Lien    : 
https://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/fr/pgmo-calls-projects/call-project

Cher.e.s collègues

L'appel à projets du PGMO ci-dessous peut vous intéresser,
- pour les membres du groupe MAS, a priori concernant le programme IRSDI 
(sciences des données pour l'industrie),
- pour les membres du groupe MODE, a priori concernant les programmes 
PRMO (programme blanc en optimisation et recherche opérationnelle) et 
IROE (autour de l'utilisation des méthodes d'optimisation dans le 
domaine de l'énergie).

Cet appel à projets est financé par du mécénat d'entreprises : EDF, 
Thales et Orange.

Les appels IRSDI et IROE sont destinés à des projets académiques en lien 
avec une entreprise, mais ils ne supposent pas de contribution 
financière de cette dernière. On peut notamment les voir comme une 
opportunité de mûrir un projet plus engageant (contrat de collaboration 
ou thèse CIFRE).

N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour toute question
Gilles (membre du bureau du PGMO)

**

Dear colleague,
The new call for projects of the Gaspard Monge Program for Optimization, 
Operations research, and their interactions with data sciences, is now 
published on the PGMO web site:
  https://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/fr/pgmo-calls-projects/call-project
The 2019 call for projects is composed of 3 sub-calls:
- PRMO: general research projects
- IROE: optimisation and energy, supported by EDF
- IRSDI: data science for industry, supported by EDF and THALES
Projects can be submitted till May 13, 2019, 23:59 (anywhere on Earth).
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question.
Best regards,
The PGMO Executive Board
