Subject: Cambridge University - Lectureship Vacancy
Can I draw your attention to two positions that we currently
have vacant?
http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/Vacancies/
These are established positions, for mid-career or junior
colleagues with active research in mathematical finance (or
possibly probability or statistics); we are able to appoint at
any point on the stated salary scale, and the positions are
extremely attractive in addition because:
* Cambridge teaching is completed in three 8-week blocks
* If the person appointed does not become a Fellow of a
College, the teaching duties are lecturing (typically in
the range 40-60 hours per year) and examining.
* The students here are outstandingly good, and lecture
courses can be set at a high level and fast pace
* The Centre for Mathematical Sciences is one of the largest
and most impressive centres for mathematics in the world
* There are strong links with colleagues in Economics and
the Judge Institute of Management.
The closing date for applications is 5th January 2004.

Hi there,
As most of you are lecturers or students you might find MIT's
OpenCourseWare a valuable source of materials:
> Patrick Douglas Crispen ( http://www.tourbus.com/ )
> announcing phase 2 of OCW:
(...) back in April of 2001 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
[MIT] announced the ground-breaking and ambitious ten-year goal of
posting online all course materials from every MIT undergraduate and
graduate course. Syllabi. Course calendars. Lecture notes.
Assignments. Exams. Everything.
Phase one of MIT's OpenCourseWare project debuted last October,
giving the world access to MIT course materials from 32 courses in 17
different departments ranging from Aeronautics and Astronautics to
Urban Studies and Planning. Phase two, which was completed on Monday,
increases that number to 500 courses from 33 academic disciplines.
You can find MIT's OpenCourseWare site online at
http://ocw.mit.edu/
> MIT OCW about OCW,
> from http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/AboutOCW/about-ocw.htm :
MIT OCW is a large-scale, Web-based electronic publishing initiative
funded jointly by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation, and MIT.
MIT OCW's goals are to:
* Provide free, searchable, access to MIT's course materials for
educators, students, and self-learners around the world.
* Create an efficient, standards-based model that other
institutions may emulate to openly share and publish their own
course materials.

Of course, there are special fields such as

To: Berlin Workshop 2003 <finance(a)math.hu-berlin.de>
Subject: Mathematical Finance for Young Researchers
Dear colleagues,
some weeks ago we sent you a first announcement of our upcoming
Workshop on Mathematical Finance for Young Researchers:
Modeling, Measuring, and Managing Financial Risk.
The workshop will be held on
January 8 - January 10, 2004 at Humboldt University of Berlin.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together promising Ph.D. students
and postdocs, and to give them the opportunity to discuss their research
in an informal atmosphere. Keynote lectures will be given by
David Hobson, University of Bath,
Wolfgang Schmidt, Hochschule fuer Bankwirtschaft,
Martin Schweizer, ETH Zuerich
Thaleia Zariphopoulou, University of Texas at Austin.
We also invite applications for up to 15 contributed talks from young
researchers, in particular from recent PhDs. Accommodation expenses for
speakers will be covered. Very limited support for travel expenses
may also be available.
Please remember that that the deadline for applications is approaching
fast! All those member of groups who are interested in presenting
their research should not hesitate to contact us by October 15th.
Further information can be found on the workshop's website
http://www.math.hu-berlin.de/~finance/workshop/
Thank you very much for your cooperation,
the organizing committee
