Dear friends and colleagues,

here is a request like one you have never heard of before:

The National University of Mongolia is currently looking in haste for an available and ambitious volunteer who would like to go out to Mongolia at short notice, funded by the International Mathematical Union, to teach a 3-4 week masters-level course in probability theory *this MAY*. Details of the programme are here:

Please see here for the requirements (PhD minimum) and the support that is on offer:

This course comes in preparation of a 2-week research school in stochastic processes, held at the National University of Mongolia, Ulan Bator, in associated with CIMAT, DAAD, IMU and the Bernoulli society.

At the moment, The People's Republic of Mongolia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolia) is experimenting with a significant programme of visa waivers, meaning that many countries do not need a visa at the moment.

This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a significant mathematical initiative in Mongolia in the field of Stochastics. As time is of the essence, I would be grateful if you could circulate this email amongst colleagues and encourage any interested parties (even if it is just a tentative query) to contact me ASAP (a.kyprianou@bath.ac.uk mailto:a.kyprianou@bath.ac.uk) copying the email to Prof. Tsogzolmaa Saizmaa (tsogzolmaa@num.edu.mn mailto:tsogzolmaa@num.edu.mn).

sincerely,

Andreas Kyprianou
