We shall be awarding 10 or more new, fully-funded, 4-year studentships, to start in September 2015. These are for exceptionally qualified students to complete PhDs at the interface between applied mathematics, statistics, and probability. > > The four-year funding includes full tuition fee at the home rate, a training support fee of £1,000/annum and standard tax-free maintenance of £13,863/annum (14/15 rate). Please note: only UK and EU students who satisfy research council funding rules are eligible for this funding (http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/skills/students/help/Pages/eligibility.aspx) > > SAMBa will have a cohort of students whose thesis topics range from industrially motivated problems to more abstract problems, using deterministic, probabilistic, statistical and computational mathematical tools. Students will take courses across this mathematical spectrum in the first year. > > The first year of the training involves courses and symposia tailored to the students’ individual learning programme together with thesis scoping seminars and 'Integrative Think Tanks'. These ITTs will be intensive week-long events held twice a year where students are faced with industrial and cross-disciplinary problems and are trained in synthesising relevant mathematical formulations for solving them. > > Each student will finalise a thesis proposal at the end of year 1, and will work on PhD research in years 2-4 under the mentoring of a principal supervisor and a co-supervisor. Successful completion of the first year of the programme will result in the student receiving an M.Res. degree. > > The SAMBa student cohort will be an important source of support, and, as part of the training programme, students will have access to a budget that will allow them to plan semester-long symposia and invite outside speakers. The programme will also support travel to conferences and workshops. > > Expressions of interest should be sent to the Centre Manager, Susie Douglas, via email: samba(a)bath.ac.uk and should include: > • A short statement (250 words) explaining your motivation for applying to SAMBa > • A 2-page CV which includes your academic and work experience and your nationality and country of normal residence (for the past 3 years, not including full time education) > • Scans of your academic transcript(s) > • Information on where you heard about SAMBa > > All applications will be reviewed rapidly and promising applicants will be invited to an interview at Bath.

Apologies for cross posting --------------------------------- SEMINARIO DI MATEMATICA APPLICATA Giovedi 23 Ottobre 2014, ore 11.30 Aula Rappresentanza, Dipartimento di Matematica (Via Saldini 50, Milano) Heterogeneities and the spatial spread of infectious diseases Dr. Vittoria Colizza INSERM & Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France) ISI Foundation (Turin, Italy) ABSTRACT The spatial spread of infectious diseases depends on the interplay between local interactions among hosts (and possibly with vectors), along which transmission can occur, and dissemination opportunities presented by the movements of hosts (and vectors) among different communities or locations in space. Many degrees of heterogeneity may characterize this process, induced by large fluctuations in hosts' features (e.g. mixing behavior, frequency and duration of movements, topology and magnitude of movement fluxes) or by variations in pathogen's specific features (e.g. multiple circulation of different viruses, multiple types of transmission). To address these aspects, I'll present a general theoretical modeling framework taking into account the various heterogeneities at play and explore how these may affect the pandemic potential of an emerging infectious disease. Results are discussed in the realm of specific case studies.

Seminario KNAPIK
by Matteo Ruggiero 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

**************************************************************** STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO **************************************************************** Venerdi' 24 Ottobre 2014 alle ore 12:00, presso la sala rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Bartek KNAPIK (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) CONVERGENCE RATES OF POSTERIOR DISTRIBUTIONS IN NONPARAMETRIC INVERSE PROBLEMS Abstract: Since the seminal works of Ghosal, Ghosh and van der Vaart (2000) and Shen and Wasserman (2001), posterior contraction has attracted much attention, resulting in the rich literature on this subject. However, these results are not suitable to deal with trully ill-posed inverse problems, where one is interested in the parameter of interest f, given noisy observations of its transformed version Kf. General theorems yield contraction results in some metric measuring the distance between Kf and Kf_0, whereas the interest lies in the distance betweend f and f_0, and these two metrics are not equivalent. In this talk we review (a part of) the existing literature on Bayesian approach to nonparametric inverse problems, and present a general contraction theorem. We show that in mildly ill-posed problems with conjugate priors, both empirical and hierarchical Bayes approaches lead to (nearly) optimal recovery of an infinite-dimensional parameter of interest. Moreover, using our general result, we obtain minimax adaptive concentration rates in two examples in the fixed-design regression setting. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto http://sites.carloalberto.org/ruggiero
