---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Walter Schachermayer ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 11:46:05 +0200 (CEST) From: Catalin Starica <starica(a)math.chalmers.se> Subject: Professor position in Asset Pricing at University of Gothenburg Dear Colleague, Please find atached the announcement [see plain text copy below] for a professor position in Asset Pricing at University of Gothenburg. The position is at a senior level but good not-so-senior researchers are incourage to apply. The Center for Finance is actively trying to build up its areas of competence and young, enthusiastic people are of an utmost interest to us. Note that, even though the deadline is rather close, there is a certain amount of flexibility in the application process. We would be happy to get some strong signal of interest rather soon (even if the full application dossier takes a little longer to complete). For more info on the Center for Finance please go to http://www.hgu.gu.se/item.aspx?id=1023 I would be very greatful if you could forward this mail to anyone you might think could be interested. Sincerely, Catalin Starica PS: The Center is also looking for someone in Corporate Finance.

There was a small mistake in the announcement: The duration of the talk on Thuesday is only 45 minutes from 17:15-18:00. Sorry for the faulty mail a minute ago, Sandra Trenovatz -------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander S. Cherny, (Moscow State University) "Coherent Risks and their applications" 1st part: Friday, 9.06.2006, 11:00-12:30, FH 2, FH2: Freihaus, yellow area, 2nd floor Freihaus, Wiedner Hauptstr. 8-10, 1040 Wien 2st part: Tuesday, 13.06.2006, 17:15-18:00, Sem 107, Sem 107: Freihaus, green area, 6th floor 3rd part: Friday, 16.06.2006, 11:00-12:30, Sem 105B Sem 105B: Freihaus, green area, 7th floor The basic idea behind these lectures is: the whole finance can be built based on coherent risks. I will speak about applications of coherent risks to: - pricing; - optimization; - optimality pricing; - equilibrium. Moreover, several topics in the "pure" theory of coherent risks will be discussed. These include: - coherent risk contribution; - capital allocation; - factor risks. I will also describe two new classes of coherent risks: Alpha V@R and Beta V@R that are better than Tail V@R. These lectures will be based on a series of papers available at: http://mech.math.msu.su/~cherny/ (papers 24-30).

Simulation and estimation: efficient simulation of multivariate models, econometrics of jump processes, realized volatility/ bi-power variation. Partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) and computational methods Inverse problems: theory and algorithms for inverse problems related to option pricing models with jumps. New modeling approaches: Markov processes with jumps, models for electricity prices, interest rate models with jumps and their efficient analytical and numerical treatment * DEADLINE for submission of abstracts: JUNE 15, 2006 * DEADLINE for registration: AUGUST 1, 2006. For more information please visit the conference website: http://www.fiquam.polytechnique.fr/AMAMEF/ THIS WORKSHOP IS SUPPORTED BY: European Programme on "Advanced mathematical methods for finance" Centre de Mathematiques Appliquees, Ecole Polytechnique Chaire des Risques Financiers, Ecole Polytechnique Seminar on Applied Mathematics, ETH Zurich Europlace Institute of Finance
