------------------------------- Messaggio originale -------------------------------- Oggetto: AMS - Mathemical Research Community 2015 in Financial Mathematics Da: "Birgit Rudloff" <brudloff@Princeton.EDU> Data: Mer, 18 Febbraio 2015 22:22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear colleagues, This is a first announcement about the upcoming Mathematical Research community (MRC) in Financial Mathematics organized by the American Mathematical Society. The MRC is - in AMS own words- "a program of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), nurtures early-career mathematicians-those who are close to finishing their doctorates or have recently finished-and provides them with opportunities to build social and collaborative networks to inspire and sustain each other in their work. The structured program is designed to engage and guide all participants as they start their careers. For each topic, the program includes a one-week summer conference, a Special Session at the national meeting, a discussion network, ongoing mentoring, and a longitudinal study of early career mathematicians." The MRC in Financial Mathematics consists of a conference June 14 – 20, 2015 in Snowbird, Utah, a session at the Joint Mathematics Meeting, January 6-9, 2016 in Seattle, Washington. Around 40 peridoctoral mathematicians (advanced PhD students and early PostDocs) will work together on topics in high frequency trading, optimal investment under transaction costs, and systemic risk. More information at http://www.ams.org/programs/research-communities/mrc-15. Deadline for applications will be March 1, 2015. Please make your graduate students and Post-Docs aware of this possibility. Note that while American and US-based mathematicians are prioritized, the MRC is open for everybody. Travel support for the Snowbird conference will be available up to USD 700,-. All the best, Maxim Bichuch Michael Carlisle Olympia Hadjiliadis Birgit Rudloff Stephan Sturm
