Dear colleague,
The university of Geneva is organizing a special Master program in probability and mathematical physics in collaboration with the ETH during the year 2015/2016. The aim of the program is to provide a small number of outstanding students with master-level courses in probability together with more advanced courses in the field of planar statistical physics.
The program is aimed at Master students. Advanced undergraduates and beginning PhD students are also welcome. The participants will enroll in a one-year master program at the university of Geneva starting in September 2015. A number of fellowships covering accommodation and local expenses are available.
*Additional information is available on the webpage of the program: http://nccr-swissmap.ch/master-class-2015 http://www.nccr-swismap.ch/master-class-2015*
We would be very grateful if you would mention this program to potential candidates and encourage them to apply. For full consideration, apply using the web form (available on http://nccr-swissmap.ch/master-class-2015 http://www.nccr-swismap.ch/master-class-2015) before the 17th of January 2015.
We also attached the poster of the program. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards
Stanislav Smirnov, Wendelin Werner and Hugo Duminil-Copin
