Subject: New Journal Launch: Journal of Mathematical Learning and Computation (JMLC)
We are excited to announce the launch of the Journal of Mathematical
Learning and Computation (JMLC):
https://global-sci.com/jmlc
JMLC is a new venue dedicated to mathematics as a driving force in machine
learning and deep learning.
Unlike traditional journals, JMLC focuses on:
• Novel computational and learning algorithms
• Mathematical insights that explain and improve generalization in ML/DL
• Mathematical structures that lead to new learning frameworks and
architectures
• Theory that translates into computationally realizable methods
We particularly welcome:
• Insightful analysis of existing models with design implications
• PDE-, geometry-, topology-, or physics-inspired learning methods
• Inverse problems, imaging, and high-dimensional data applications
• Work with open-source implementations for reproducibility
JMLC aims to bridge theory and practice—where mathematics not only
explains learning, but builds it.
Submissions are now open. We warmly invite contributions from numerical
mathematics, ML, and computational science communities.

Subject: Mimetic Operators Library Enhanced (MOLE) Tutorial, May 12
The Computation Science Research Center (CSRC) at San Diego State
University invites you to: A Tutorial on The Mimetic Operators
Library Enhanced (MOLE) May 12, 2026 from 10 AM to 12:00 PM. PDT.
MOLE is a high-quality numerical library that implements high-order
mimetic difference operators to solve PDEs in C++ and MATLAB/Octave.
It provides discrete analogs of the most common vector calculus
operators: Gradient, Divergence, Laplacian, and Curl. These operators
(highly sparse matrices) act on staggered grids (uniform, non-uniform,
curvilinear) and preserve locally and globally quantities of interests
for systems of conservation laws.
This tutorial will cover an introduction to MOLE mimetic difference
operators; gradient, divergence, laplacian and curl for C++ and MATLAB
/Octave users. Attendants will learn how to use the MOLE library
through examples, and also review the installation and guidelines to
contribute to the MOLE library. Please, read the Getting Started
Section in mole-docs.readthedocs.io/ and install or clone the MOLE
library. Installation support will be provided 90-minutes prior to
the beginning of the tutorial.
The tutorial is free and will be held in person at SDSU’s Bioscience
Center Auditorium on May 12, 2026 from 10 AM to 12:00 PM U.S. PT, and
also online. To register for the tutorial in person or online, please
fill out this form: https://forms.gle/7KZ8t3zCUxu7f6vB7.

Subject: PhD Position in Numerical Analysis – ERC Project - Verona, Italy
I am looking for a PhD candidate to join my research group at the
University of Verona in Italy, within the framework of my ERC
Starting Grant project ALcHyMiA.
The research focuses on the development of cutting-edge numerical
methods:
specifically, high-order accurate Lagrangian-type FV and DG schemes
on moving polyhedral meshes for the solution of hyperbolic
equations, with applications ranging from fluid-dynamics to
astrophysics.
This position offers a high-level research environment with a
strong emphasis on mathematical innovation, international
collaboration, and modern numerical implementation.
Candidates with a strong interest in programming in compiled
languages (such as C and Fortran) and in HPC implementation will be
particularly valued.
More details can be found at: www.elenagaburro.it/ALcHyMiA.html.
Interested candidates are kindly requested to contact Prof. Elena
Gaburro at elena.gaburro@univr.it as soon as possible by sending
their CV, their bachelor and master transcripts, and a very short
summary of their relevant skills for the project.

Title: Development of novel and effective Arbitrary-Lagrangian-
Eulerian ADER FV and DG schemes on moving 3D polyhedral meshes
Keywords: Numerical Analysis, Hyperbolic PDEs, Lagrangian Methods,
Polygonal & Polyhedral Meshes, High-Order Methods, HPC, Finite
Volumes, Discontinuous Galerkin, Fluid-dynamics, Astrophysics.
Framework & Topic:
The research is funded by the ERC Starting Grant ALcHyMiA (GA
101114995).
The candidate will work on the development and validation of new
numerical methods (FV/DG type) for nonlinear hyperbolic equations
using direct ALE techniques.
The goal is to design and validate high-order schemes on classical
and degenerate space-time 3D/4D control volumes, implementing them
in a parallel Fortran code (HPC).
The specific research focus will be tailored to the student’s
potential and preferences within the project framework.
Activities & Benefits:
- Innovation: Development of novel numerical schemes and scientific
writing.
- Global Outlook: Fully funded international research periods and
conferences.

Subject: Two assistant professor positions in Computational Science at Lund University
Dear colleagues,
There are two open assistant professor positions in computational
science at Lund University to strengthen strategic
interdisciplinary activities in the field at the faculty of
science. Examples are two new master programs, a PhD program, and a
research school. Candidates can apply for placement at any of the
institutions of the faculty, such as biology, mathematics or
physics. Computational Science is here broadly understood as
research that applies and develops methods for advanced computation
with the aim of addressing research problems in the natural
sciences, engineering, or medicine. This may include, for example,
the integration and development of models, as well as advanced
computational and data‑analysis methods and software, including
simulation, modelling, and data management.
The candidates we seek are expected to conduct research and
contribute to the establishment and strengthening of computational
science at the Faculty of Science. The successful candidate is
expected to build an active research programme within the field and
related subject areas, which also entails actively seeking external
research funding. The position includes developing
interdisciplinary collaborations within the Faculty of Science, as
well as with other faculties or universities.
