PhD-Position in Stochastics
Within the project of the Academy of Finland
Stochastic Analysis and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, Interactions and Applications (2016-2020) there is an open PhD-position. We look for a doctoral student that works in the area of Stochastic Analysis and related fields with a possible emphasize on Backward Stochastic Differential Equations.

There is an open call for talks for the Statistics Day Helsinki 2016 organized at Aalto University, Feb 12 2016.
Statistics day is an informal full-day seminar, devoted (but not limited) to:
We are now calling for talks. Everyone, from students to professors, is invited to give a talk. The talks need not be fully polished congress-type presentations. The seminar will be followed by board games night.
The keynote talk is given by Pauliina Ilmonen: “But how rare is rare?”
