Two items of interest concerning ETH and mathematics:<\/p>\n
(1) Although being away in Princeton means I won’t be able to attend them, I’d like the mention the two Heinz Hopf Vorlesungen, tomorrow (or today, Tuesday October 20, for those in Europe) and Thursday, in auditorium HG G5 at 7pm; for the first time, these lectures are linked to the new Heinz Hopf Prize<\/a>, and the prizewinner this year, Robert MacPherson, will speak about How Nature Tiles Spaces?<\/a>. (There were earlier lectures in 2001, 2003 and 2005, but there was no prize at that time).<\/p>\n (2) Like last year<\/a>, I would like to encourage all interested young PhD’s to apply to the postdoctoral positions<\/a> of the mathematics department at ETH (the deadline is November 21 for full consideration). In addition, the Mathematics Institute<\/a> of the University of Z\u00fcrich (i.e., of the canton) has also some postdoc positions available<\/a>, as well as a lectureship (one position is specifically in Arithmetic Geometry, to work with U. Derenthal<\/a>, who is currently at Freiburg in Germany).<\/p>\n And if you are a senior applied mathematician, note also the full professor position<\/a> currently open…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two items of interest concerning ETH and mathematics: (1) Although being away in Princeton means I won’t be able to attend them, I’d like the mention the two Heinz Hopf Vorlesungen, tomorrow (or today, Tuesday October 20, for those in Europe) and Thursday, in auditorium HG G5 at 7pm; for the first time, these lectures … Continue reading Some ETH news<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":625,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogroll"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/625"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1320\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/kowalski\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
