Si avvisa che in data 15-01-2016, alle ore 16:00, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Frédéric Brunet Institut de Génomique Fonctionnelle de Lyon, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon Titolo: 1-2-3-4: a story about whole genome duplications in fish and other vertebrates Abstract: Gene and genome duplications, which increase gene copy number at different scales, are considered to be important contributors to the evolution of organisms. During the evolution of vertebrates, two successive rounds of whole genome duplication, called 1R and 2R have highly influenced the organization of gene content of genomes. After WGDs, genomes returned progressively to a diploid state, but a certain amount of genes were kept as duplicates, which led to the formation and extension of many gene families. A fish-specific genome duplication called 3R occurred at the base of the teleost fish lineage. A fourth round of WGD has also been characterized Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Dear colleagues, This is the last call to a 3-year postdoc position available in Probability. For more information, see below and http://www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.aspx?ref=FY3536 The deadline is 20th January. Please pass this to potential candidates and local mailing lists. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Alexandre Postdoc in probability at the University of Bath, UK A postdoc (research associate) position is available in the area of probability starting from 1st October 2016, or a date to be agreed (but no sooner than 1st April 2016). The position will be available for up to 3 years. The position is funded by the EPSRC fellowship "Mathematical analysis of strongly correlated processes on discrete dynamic structures" of Dr. Alexandre Stauffer. The area of research will be centered on the mathematical analysis of random large-scale interacting systems, such as interacting particle systems, random walks and other stochastic processes in random or dynamic environments, percolation, spin systems, and dynamically evolving graphs. The ideal candidate is expected to have a strong background in probability theory, and have a PhD in mathematics, theoretical computer science or related areas. The successful applicant will be associated with the probability laboratory (Prob-L@B) of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath. Prob-L@B is one of the world’s most vibrant probability groups, with eight permanent members, a large cohort of PhD students and postdocs, and a large number of different research activities and international visitors. Applications made to the on-line system should include: * an updated curriculum vitae (with publication list), * the names and contact details of three academic referees, * a one-page research statement describing your research interests, your experience in the area of the position and your career aspirations. Deadline for applications: 20th January 2016. To apply, go to http://www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.aspx?ref=FY3536 Interview of short-listed applicants is expected to take place in the week of 15th February 2016.
