problems.

Six plenary lectures will cover a wide range of topics and a special
lecture will be given by a representative of the industrial world. The
program will be complemented by minisymposia, contributed talks and a
poster session, aiming to cover most of the many different
applications of mathematics to industry, technology, environment,
cultural heritage, biology and society. The conference will host a
special Industrial Session allowing the participation of industrial
researchers and representatives. The web page of the conference
http://www.simai.unipr.it/ is ready with information and deadlines.

In particular, from 1 October 2019 it is possible to propose thematic

POSTDOC POSITION within the ERC-Advanced Grant
"From Open to Closed Loop Optimal Control of PDEs"

Institute of Mathematics and Scientific Computing
University of Graz

About the project: The project addresses a broad spectrum in optimal
control of PDEs and focusses on some of the most pressing topics: High
dimensional Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equations arising in feedback
control, non-smooth, and possibly non-convex optimal control and
related computational techniques. The use of optimal control
techniques in data science applications can be another focus point for
the future collaborator's research.

Professional qualifications: Doctoral degree in a mathematical branch
of study. Solid knowledge in applied mathematics, including PDEs, with
specialization in either computational or analytical
techniques. Experience in the numerical treatment of high-dimensional
partial differential equations is especially welcome. Alternatively,
specialization in optimal control, calculus of variations, or
optimization is highly appreciated.
