Subject: RISK MEASURES AND SOLVENCY
*Call for Papers*
International Actuarial Meeting
*RISK MEASURES AND SOLVENCY*
*At the occasion of the "Fifth Statistical Congress of Turkey"*
*20-24 May 2007*
*Antalya, Turkey*
The two statistical scientific and professional non-governmental
organizations in Turkey, namely The Turkish Statistical Association
and The Society of Statisticians are organizing this year for the
fifth time their joint bi-annual Statistical Congress. The date of the
Fifth Statistical Congress (ISTKON5) is fixed at May, 20-24, 2007. The
event will take place in Antalya, Turkey, one the most beautiful
cities of the Mediterranean region.
These Statistical Congresses are the major meetings for the
statistical academic and professional circles of Turkey, and a large
number of academic and professional people fro the country is expected
to participate in ISTKON5.
At the occasion of ISTKON5, the two non-governmental organizations,
with the support of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, planned to
organize simultaneously an international actuarial meeting on Risk
Measures and Solvency (RMS). The RMS Meeting will be embedded in
ISTKON5 so they will share the same venue, utilize common logistic
supports and host people participating to each one of them.
RMS Meeting wil welcome all the interested people with or without
paper sumbissions. Papers with the contents of risk measures, solvency
issues, actuarial risk theory and its applications, relevant
statistical methodology, data analyses and case studies are requested.
Contact persons for the RMS Meeting are Jan Dhaene (
Jan.Dhaeene(a)econ.kuleuven.be <mailto:Jan.Dhaeene@econ.kuleuven.be> )
for scientific matters and Omer Gebizlioglu ( gebizli(a)ankara.edu.tr
<mailto:gebizli@ankara.edu.tr> ) for the organization. The RMS Meeting
web site address is www.istkon.org/rms <http://www.istkon.org/rms> .

Title: Dependence modeling for multivariate processes with applications in
finance and insurance
Abstract: In the first part of the talk we discuss different methods for
constructing multivariate counting processes and investigate their properties.
As interpretation of these counting processes we have claim arrivals of
different business lines of an insurance company in mind. Some asymptotic
results of Cramer type for ruin probabilities are also shown.
In the second part of the talk we investigate the class of multivariate Levy
processes and characterize dependence properties by means of the Levy measure
and the Levy copula. Comparison results for Levy processes are also given. These
findings are applied to some financial and actuarial models.

From: "Grigoriev, Dr P." <pg82(a)leicester.ac.uk>
Subject: lectureship in math.finance or math.biology
2 lectureships are opened at the University of Leicester.
One position in Financial Mathematics or Mathematical Biology and
another in Pure Mathematics
These "new blood lecturer" positions assume reduced level of teaching
for the first four years (no teaching in the first year). More
information about the new blood scheme and the application procedures
can be found at
http://www.le.ac.uk/newblood/mathematics.html
Salary will be on the Lecturer grade 8 scale (from August 2007 £32,796
to £40,335 and exceptionally to £45,397). The expected starting date
is September 1 2007.
Closing date for applications is March 20th 2007. Interviews are
expected in April. The expected starting date is 1st September 2007.
-------------------
The Department of Mathematics has two New Blood positions, one in Pure
Mathematics and one in Applied Mathematics. New Blood appointments
carry reduced teaching and administrative loads and start up funding.
In addition to these positions there is the possibility of two further
appointments, one in Pure Mathematics and one in Applied Mathematics.
Applied Mathematics
Applied Mathematics at Leicester has an international reputation for
computational modelling and algorithm development and in applied
dynamics, from molecular dynamics to modelling of complex materials,
chemical and physical kinetics, stochastic models with physical and
financial applications, biological mathematics and approximation
theory.
The Applied Maths group has a growing interest in the areas of
mathematical biology and financial and actuarial mathematics, and is
seeking to appoint excellent scholars in these areas.
The Applied Mathematics Group achieved a grade 5 in the last Research
Assessment Exercise. It works within a nexus of strong research groups
at the University of Leicester, gathered together at the University's
Centre for Mathematical Modelling (MMC). The MMC supports a number of
interdisciplinary research projects linking mathematics with groups in
physics, engineering and other sciences. National and international
seminars and workshops are regularly run by the Group, many of these
linking to other areas of the sciences. The MMC operates a 160 Opteron
CPU computer cluster. The Group has a strong track record of
developing excellent young applied mathematicians. The Group is
currently developing stronger research links with the grade 5
departments of Physics and Astronomy, Engineering, Biology, and
Economics, and the grade 5* Department of Genetics.
Pure Mathematics
Leicester has a strong, established research group in Pure Mathematics
covering a range of algebraic, topological and geometric topics, and
with a particular emphasis on the relationships between these areas
and other parts of mathematics. The group currently has, or has
recently enjoyed, funding for specific projects from many sources
including the EU, EPSRC, Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield Foundation,
British Council, Royal Society and the LMS, and is frequently host or
organiser of international meetings and workshops.
In response to its grade 5 RAE success in 2001, the group has
continued to grow with recent and forthcoming appointments.
Closing date for applications is March 20th 2007. Salary will be on
the Lecturer grade 8 scale (from August 2007 £32,796 to £40,335 and
exceptionally to £45,397). The expected starting date is September 1
2007.
