Dear colleagues,
The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is advertising two fixed-term positions for candidates who hold (or are about to complete) an MSc.
One call is open for candidates interested in pursuing a PhD in Mathematics, and at the same time contributing to the educational program of the department. This fully-funded position is for 6 years (50% research, 40% teaching, 10% organisational activities)
https://workingat.vu.nl/ad/phd-junior-lecturer-in-mathematics/m2mavn
Note that this open position is not attached to any specific project, but candidates must discuss in advance topics with a perspective supervisor. I would be pleased to supervise students on a topic at the intersection of applied probability, stochastic optimization, and applications to complex networks (email me at a.zocca(a)vu.nl for further information).
A second call is open for a junior lecturer position without a research component (100% teaching and organisational activities). This fully-funded position is for 4 years.
https://workingat.vu.nl/ad/junior-lecturer-in-mathematics/7jq030
Both calls close on March 1st, 2022.
Applications received by e-mail will not be processed. General enquiries on the calls can be sent to Daniele Avitabile: d.avitabile(a)vu.nl
Best,
Alessandro

Title: Location Problems: New Advances and Applications
Abstract: Location problems are among the most important problems in the area of Operation Research. In general, a location problem consists of determining the position of one or more facilities to satisfy the demand of a set of demand points, such that some criteria (represented by objective functions) are optimized (minimize or maximize). In this seminar, we present two new location problems that arise from two different applied scopes.
(1) In the literature of transportation research field, it is frequent to address routing or distribution problems where the movement between points is given by the combination of different transportation modes. For instance, movements within or outside an urban area could be different: within the city boundary the movement is slow due to the layout of the streets and traffic, while outside this boundary in the rural area the movement is fast. This situation can be modeled as regions endowed with different norms, where distances within the regions are the ones induced by the corresponding norm. In this framework, we address the single-facility Weber location problem considering different Lp-norms at different polyhedral regions.
(2) Given a set of tradable assets, the classical portfolio selection problem consists in determining the amount of capital to be invested in each asset to build the most performing portfolio. A relatively recent promising strand of research is to exploit clustering information of an asset network to develop new portfolio optimization paradigms. Following this idea, we endow the asset network with a metric based on correlation coefficients between assets’ returns and show how classical location problems on networks can be used for clustering assets. More precisely, in the bi-objective (gain-risk) portfolio selection model, we add a third criterion which is represented by the objective function of the standard p-median location problem. In this way, we are able to evaluate the effect of different degrees of clustering on the selected portfolios.
We tackle the above problems using Mathematical Programming tools (MISOCP and MILP formulations for the first and the second problems, respectively). The usefulness of our approach is validated by reporting some computational experiments.

Title: Poisson hyperplanes in hyperbolic space
JANUARY 28 (Friday) - 14:30
Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88182977183 (meeting ID 881 8297
7183), available also on the webpage
https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/
Abstract: In the focus of this talk are random tessellations in
hyperbolic space induced by Poisson point processes on the space of
hyperbolic hyperplanes (totally geodesic subspaces of co-dimension 1).
In the first part of the talk we consider the so-called k-skeleton of
such tessellations and prove that, when observed in a sequence of
increasing observation windows, the k-volume of the k-skeleton
satisfies a central limit theorem only for dimensions 2 and 3 and that
asymptotic normality fails in all higher dimensions. In the second
part of the talk we determine the non-Gaussian limiting distribution
for the special case k=d-1 and indicate possible generalizations.
On behalf of the organizers,
Marco Formentin
