Dear All, I am glad to announce that the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds is advertising up to two posts for* Lecturers in Actuarial/Financial Mathematics*. Please follow the link for details: https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=MAPMA1061 *Deadline for application: *17 September 2017. The expected interview dates are 6/7 November. I would be most grateful if you could please forward this announcement to suitable candidates. The newly advertised jobs are part of a major strategic plan of the School to strengthen its expertise in Applied Probability and Financial Maths (last May we appointed 2 lecturers who are due to start in the autumn semester). The School is keen on supporting research in the area: last year it funded and hosted the conference "Stochastic Analysis of Dynamical Systems, Stochastic Control and Games" (www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/sandsycog ); in September it will host and partly fund the conference "Stochastic Control, Ambiguity and Games" followed by the research week "Stopping Games for Ambiguity-Averse Players" (www.ambiguity2017.leeds.ac.uk ). People representative of current research interests within the group are: 1. Georgios Aivaliotis (https://www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/index.php?id=263&uid=1000) 2. Leonid Bogachev (https://www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/index.php?id=263&uid=1005) 3.

We aim at providing a methodology for a test of Gaussianity based on this information. More precisely, the level functionals are given by the Euler characteristic of the excursion sets above a finite number of levels. On the one hand, we study the properties of these level functionals under the hypothesis that the random field X is Gaussian. In particular, we focus on the mapping that associates to any level u the expected Euler characteristic of the excursion set above level u. On the other hand, we study the same level functionals under alternative distributions of X, such as chi-square, harmonic oscillator and shot noise. In order to validate our methodology, a part of the work consists in numerical experimentations. We generate Monte-Carlo samples of Gaussian and non-Gaussian random fields and compare, from a statistical point of view, their level functionals. Goodness-of-fit p−values are displayed for both cases. Simulations are performed in one dimensional case (d=1) and in two dimensional case (d=2), using R. ***************************************************************************************** Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Giovanna Nappo
