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:

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)
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
