1.3 One-year postdoctoral position on “Nonconvex optimization on measure spaces” at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL (France)

source : Irène Waldspurger
lien : https://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~waldspurger/post_doc_project.pdf

A one-year postdoctoral position is available at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL (Paris, France) under the joint supervision of Clément Royer and Irène Waldspurger. The position is funded through the “PEPR PDE-AI” program on numerical analysis, optimal control and optimal transport for artificial intelligence, and is intended to start early 2024 with significant flexibility.

The successful applicant will have a PhD in applied mathematics or a related field, with strong background in optimization and numerical analysis. Experience with imaging problems is not required but will be appreciated. The applicant will be expected to conduct research around nonconvex optimization on measure spaces, with a tentative focus on Frank-Wolfe methods. A full description of the position is available at https://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~waldspurger/post_doc_project.pdf.

Interested candidates should send a CV along with contact information for two references to clement.royer@lamsade.dauphine.fr and waldspurger@ceremade.dauphine.fr. Any inquiries regarding this position can be addressed to C. Royer and I. Waldspurger via the same email addresses. By recruiting on behalf of Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, C. Royer and I. Waldspurger commit to providing equal employment opportunities to all qualified applicants. In particular, knowledge of French is not required for this position.

1.4 FMJH post-doc in Optimization, OR and interfaces and PGMO-E4C (Energy for climate) post-doc (deadline December 10)

source : PGMO
lien : https://fondation-hadamard.fr/en/our-programs/transversal-programs/postdoc-fellowships/thematic-post-docs/

Two different post-doctoral fellowships in the field of optimization, supported by FMJH on the one hand, and E4C (Energy for Climate) on the other hand, are open for application.

The application deadline is Dec 10 in both cases.

  1. One FMJH two-year post-doctoral fellowship, in Optimization, Operations research, and their interfaces, to work in a lab of the Paris-Saclay area affiliated with FMJH.

The ``interfaces’’ of optimization and OR are understood in a broad sense, including fundamental mathematical aspects and fields like game theory or optimal control.

The applicant should identify a host team. He/she may propose a research program of his own (Select: ``research program of my own’’ when applying), or apply to one of the subjects already proposed on the FMJH web site.

Applicants needing advice or help to find a suitable host may contact the PGMO coordination pgmo@fondation-hadamard.fr

  1. One PGMO-Energy for Climate one year post-doctoral fellowship, to work in one of the labs of Institut polytechnique de Paris.

This targets research topics in the scope of PGMO (optimization, operations research and their interactions with data sciences) with applications to energy and climate. The post-doctoral work may benefit from real data of energy consumption and production (smart buildings, agrivoltaic farm) provided by E4C. The applicants must provide a research program, and indicate in their program a contact (researcher) working in the expected host laboratory. Applicants needing advice or help to find a suitable host may contact pgmo-e4c-postdoc-info@fondation-hadamard.fr

See https://fondation-hadamard.fr/en/our-programs/transversal-programs/postdoc-fellowships/thematic-post-docs/ for more information and instructions on how to apply to these positions.

1.5 One-year research position in numerical analysis at La Sapienza, Università di Roma (Itlay)

source : Elisabetta Carlini

A one-year research position in numerical analysis at the Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University (about €1,840 net per month) will be open in the coming weeks.

The title of the research is “Optimal control for ODEs and PDEs: approximation, analysis and applications.”

The project will focus on new efficient and accurate numerical methods for optimal control problems, using state-of-the-art techniques such as Hamilton Jacobi equations, model order reduction, and machine learning. Socio-economic applications in public event management, opinion formation, and traffic models will be considered.

Please inform possible interested candidates, a Ph.D. degree is not required, although applicants with PhDs are preferred.

The Visiting Scholarships offer a stipend of:

and covers travel expenses for coming to Chile. The visitor can work either at CMM’s base at the University of Chile or at one of the associated Chilean universities. The visiting scholarship have a flexible duration from 3 to 6 months. The starting date is also flexible but expected to lie between May 2024 and May 2025.

Applicants should submit a CV and a research proposal by email to:

The research proposal needs to be signed by the applicant, their PhD supervisor (for the PhD Program) and a member of CMM (who will serve as the candidate’s mentor if the application is successful).

Applications submitted by December 15, 2023, will receive full consideration; later applications may still be considered.

2 Conférences et évènements

2.1 Workshop “Off-the-grid and continuous methods for Inverse Problems in Imaging”, Paris, November 21 – 22, 2023

source : Irène Waldspurger
lien : https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/10418/

Variational methods are a flexible and powerful tool for the resolution of inverse problems in imaging.Contrary to a traditional approach which consists in reconstructing an image on a prixel grid, yielding a discrete problem, several recent methods such as the Beurling LASSO are directly formulated in a continuous domain.This generally yields solutions which are more faithful to the underlying physical problem, and the resulting discretizations may exploit the structures of the solutions (sparsity) and the continuous (or even differentiable) nature of the problem.

The aim of this workshop is to provide an overview of the latest advances on continuous methods for imaging.
