Postdocs in high-dimensional statistics for network & graphical models analysis, Barcelona
We have two post-doctoral positions to work on a range of topics related to high-dimensional statistics for networks, ultra high-dimensional graphical models, frameworks linking networks and graphical models, multivariate structural learning and time series analysis. The positions are for 1 year, with a potential for extension to 18 months, with a gross yearly salary of 40,000 eur. The scope is ample and allows for sub-projects related to mathematical statistics and statistical learning theory, data analysis methodology in penalized likelihood and Bayesian statistics, and computational methods. The positions are related to a Huawei grant, which also offers opportunities to explore applications of the developed theory & methods.
The project is primarily hosted by the Statistics group at UPF (https://sites.google.com/view/stats-upf<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.goo…>) and the BSE Data Science Center (https://datascience.bse.eu<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatascien…>) in Barcelona (Spain), and is in collaboration with Luc Devroye at McGill University in Montreal (Canada) and Piotr Zwiernik at the University of Toronto (Canada). The primary supervisors are Christian Brownlees, Luc Devroye, Gábor Lugosi, David Rossell and Piotr Zwiernik, although collaborations with other professors of these research groups are also possible.
Interested candidates should send an updated CV and a short research statement to David Rossell (david.rossell(a)upf.edu<mailto:david.rossell@upf.edu>). They should ask 3 referees to send a letter of reference on their behalf.
The deadline for applying for the first position is April 30 2022, the deadline for the second position is June 15 2022.

Title: Coagulation under environmental noise
Abstract: Environmental noise in a continuum interacting particle system is
a space-dependent noise acting on all particles simultaneously. We prove
that a system of locally interacting diffusions carrying discrete masses,
subject to an environmental noise and undergoing mass coagulation,
converges to a system of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs)
with Smoluchowski-type nonlinearity. It partially extends a result of
Hammond-Rezakhanlou (2007) who considered the PDE case, with our motivation
coming from trying to understand the effect of turbulence on rain
formations. Based on a joint work with Franco Flandoli.
Ricevo e inoltro.

Subject: Pathway to Research scheme
To: <APPLIEDPROB(a)jiscmail.ac.uk>
Dear all,
The following scheme may be of interest to undergrads. We would like as
many applications as possible, so please spread the word!
Thanks,
Matt
----------------
Pathway to Research scheme - a scheme for students completing, or having
completed, a BSc or taught Masters
The SAMBa CDT, based in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the
University of Bath, is seeking applicants to its Pathway to Research
scheme. This will provide three people, who have the potential to be
excellent mathematical researchers, but who have – for any number of
reasons – not been able to take advantage of enough mathematical
training to get them ready for PhD research, with a year long programme
of training and mentorship in a research environment, plus a £10,000
bursary, resulting in an MSc qualification.
https://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/start-your-research-career-in-mathematics-…
Barriers to academic progress that applicants may have faced could
include significant caring responsibilities, the need to work during
their studies, a lack of access to fundamental mathematics courses (e.g.
Further Maths A level), having had a restricted choice of location for
their undergraduate degree, and there will be many more. It may be that
there are people on your courses, or those who have recently graduated,
who are unaware that a career in research mathematics was even an option
and please can I encourage you to make them aware of this scheme.
The deadline for applications is 16th May, with a visit day for those
who apply planned for 26th May.

Title: Nonparametric Estimation of Covariance and Autocovariance
Operators on the Sphere
Abstract:
We propose nonparametric estimators for the second-order central moments
of spherical random fields within a functional data context. We consider
a measurement framework where each field among an identically
distributed collection of spherical random fields is sampled at a few
random directions, possibly subject to measurement error. The collection
of fields could be i.i.d. or serially dependent. Though similar setups
have already been explored for random functions defined on the unit
interval, the nonparametric estimators proposed in the literature often
rely on local polynomials, which do not readily extend to the (product)
spherical setting. We therefore formulate our estimation procedure as a
variational problem involving a generalized Tikhonov regularization
term. The latter favours smooth covariance/autocovariance functions,
where the smoothness is specified by means of suitable Sobolev-like
pseudo-differential operators. Using the machinery of reproducing kernel
Hilbert spaces, we establish representer theorems that fully
characterize the form of our estimators. We determine their uniform
rates of convergence as the number of fields diverges, both for the
dense (increasing number of spatial samples) and sparse (bounded number
of spatial samples) regimes. We moreover validate and demonstrate the
practical feasibility of our estimation procedure in a simulation
setting.
Based on a joint work with Julien Fageot, Matthieu Simeoni and Victor M.

Dear All,
This Friday,*Jodi Dianetti* (Center for Mathematical Economics,
Bielefeld University) will give a seminar talk on Submodular mean field
games, which will be held in person and online via Zoom.
Details:
* Date and time: Friday, April 1, 2022 at 14.30 pm
* Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova
(Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova)
* Zoom link: please visit the webpage
https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/
* Title: Submodular mean field games: Existence and approximation of
solutions
* Abstract: We study mean field games with scalar Itô-type dynamics and
costs that are submodular with respect to a suitable order relation on
the state and measure space. The submodularity assumption has a number
of interesting consequences. Firstly, it allows us to prove existence of
solutions via an application of Tarski's fixed point theorem, covering
cases with discontinuous dependence on the measure variable. Secondly,
it ensures that the set of solutions enjoys a lattice structure: in
particular, there exist a minimal and a maximal solution. Thirdly, it
guarantees that those two solutions can be obtained through a simple
learning procedure based on the iterations of the best-response-map. Our
approach also allows to treat submodular mean field games with common
noise, as well as mean field games with singular controls, optimal
stopping and reflecting boundary conditions. This talks is based on some
joint works together with Giorgio Ferrari, Markus Fischer and Max Nendel.
