Marie Sklodowska-Curie Ph.D. studentship in Statistical Sciences at the University of Padova (Italy) - Deadline April 15, 2018 at 5PM CET
by Patrizia Piacentini - PhD 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

As a partner of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Innovative Training Network (ITN) named "/International Training Network of Statistics for High Energy Physics and Society/" (*INSIGHTS*), the INFN (Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics) offers a *Ph. D. scholarship in Statistical Sciences at the University of Padova*. The early-stage researcher (ESR) recipient of the scholarship will be hired by INFN and enrolled in the three-year Ph. D. program offered by the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova. The ESR will conduct his or her research at the Padova section of INFN; the research will focus on statistical methods targeting the analysis of data from proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider operating at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, aiming at the detection of new physics phenomena. The research and training plan includes the participation to international doctoral schools, workshops, and conferences in Physics and Statistics, as well as month-long visiting periods to CERN and to other European institutions belonging to the Network, plus a three-month internship at a non-academic institution, for a stage centered on industry applications of Machine Learning tools. The trainee will work in close connection with a dozen ESR colleagues hired by the partners of the INSIGHTS network. The network vows to provide outstanding, interdisciplinary training and to provide the trainees with excellent employability, both within and outside the academic world. At the end of the three-year program the ESR will obtain a Ph. D. title from the University of Padova. * ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA *Candidates should have an at least four year full time university education degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Physics or related fields, *formally enabling them to embark in a doctorate program in the country where the degree was obtained*; in any case they should possess a strong background in Mathematics, Statistics and Statistical Learning. Additional favorable traits include good computing skills and an interest in the application of statistical methods to fundamental research. *The application of females is encouraged as INSIGHTS applies affirmative-action measures to ensure gender neutrality in the recruitment process*. In addition to the above, at the time of recruitment by INFN eligible candidates*must NOT have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Italy *for more than 12 months in the three years immediately preceding the recruitment date (short stays such as holidays are not taken into account). Eligible candidates must *NOT have been awarded a doctoral degree* and also be, at the time of recruitment, *in the first four years* (full-time equivalent) of their research careers. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in Italy. * CONDITIONS *The gross scholarship amounts to euro *3,318.37*/month; in addition to it, a gross mobility allowance of euro *600.00*/month is provided for, as well as a gross family allowance of euro *500.00*/month if applicable. The cost of enrolment in the Ph. D. school and of the doctoral courses, as well as all expenses related to travel to schools, workshops, and network-organized events and internships will be sustained by the network. * HOW TO APPLY*Applications shall be sent by e-mail to the address insights(a)pd.infn.it <mailto:insights@pd.infn.it> until the deadline, set to *April 15^th 2018 at 5PM CET*.

The selection committee will be formed by INFN and Padova University personnel. During the colloquia candidates will be asked to introduce themselves and shortly describe their past research experience. The outcome of the selection process will be notified to preselected candidates within two weeks. *The research activities and scholarship will start in the month of September 2018*, and the Ph. D. program courses are expected to start at the beginning of October 2018. The hired candidate is required to _take residence in the province of Padova_ for the full duration of the program. Further information on the position and on the program of the INSIGHTS training network can be obtained by visiting the network’s web site at https://www.insights-itn.euor by contacting by e-mail the ESR supervisor Prof. Bruno Scarpa at scarpa(a)stat.unipd.it <mailto:scarpa@stat.unipd.it>or the INFN PI dr.

23 Jan '18

** CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ** Bocconi Summer School in Advanced Statistics and Probability: “Graphical Models” July 9-20, 2018 http://asps.lakecomoschool.org We are pleased to announce that the 2018 edition of the Bocconi Summer School in Advanced Statistics and Probability, on "GRAPHICAL MODELS", will take place on July 9-20, 2018, at Villa del Grumello, on the shores of the Lake of Como, Italy. PROGRAM Graphical models yield a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains, involving large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations rely on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, statistics, computer science and more. They are the basis for revolutionary methods in a wide variety of applications, such as medical diagnosis, image understanding, forensic genetics, speech recognition, natural language processing, machine learning problems, and much more. The course will present the fundamental theory and methodology, illustrated with applications and case studies. INSTRUCTORS Steffen Lauritzen (Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen) Robin Evans (Department of Statistics, University of Oxford, UK) Tutorials: Søren Wengel Mogensens (Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen) The Bocconi Summer School in Statistics and Probability is offered by Bocconi University, Milano, and is hosted by the Lake Como School of Advanced Studies. The aim of the School is to establish a track of high level courses on cutting-edge topics in Statistics and Probability. The school offers lectures delivered by internationally leading scholars on the specific designated topic, and supervised tutorials. The summer school is open to all interested scholars, but is especially addressed to PhD students, and possibly to brilliant MSc graduates/students interested in pursuing doctoral studies in Statistics, Probability, Data Science, Computer Science and related fields. APPLICATIONS: In order to foster active interaction among students and instructors, the School is targeted for a class of at most 30 qualified and selected participants. Applications can be submitted by March 15, 2018. REGISTRATION and FEES. The registration fee (450 euro) covers all the school activities and course material; wi-fi connection; all work-days lunches; welcome cocktail; accommodation for the 2 weeks (July 8-July 21, 2018).

Seminar at Scuola Normale Superiore, 15 February 2018, Luciano Campi
by Giulia 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Dear all, On Thursday, 15 February 2018 — from 11:00 to 13:00 — at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Room: Mancini) Prof. Luciano Campi (London School of Economics) will hold the following Seminar: Title : Nonzero-sum stochastic differential games with impulse controls: a verification theorem with applications Abstract: We consider a general nonzero-sum impulse game with two players. The main mathematical contribution of the paper is a verification theorem which provides, under some regularity conditions, a suitable system of quasi-variational inequalities for the value functions and the optimal strategies of the two players. As an application, we study an impulse game with a one-dimensional state variable, following a real-valued scaled Brownian motion, and two players with linear and symmetric running payoffs. We fully characterize a Nash equilibrium and provide explicit expressions for the optimal strategies and the value functions. We also prove some asymptotic results with respect to the intervention costs. Finally, we consider two further non-symmetric examples where a Nash equilibrium is found numerically. Fill free to forward this announcement to your colleagues. Best Giulia Livieri Assegnista di ricerca Scuola Normale Superiore Piazza dei Cavalieri, 7, 56126 Pisa PI room 65
