IMSAC Days in Sofia
The international conference IMSAC Days in Sofia takes place from August 8 to 10 at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. This conference is a collaborative effort between the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS-Sofia) and the Institute for the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA) at the University of Miami, with generous financial support from the Simons Foundation.
The conference was officially opened today by the Director of ICMS-Sofia Prof. Julian Revalski.
The event is set to gather prominent mathematicians and researchers from around the world, fostering an environment of knowledge exchange and collaboration. The event will feature a series of presentations and discussions on cutting-edge developments in mathematical sciences. IMSAC Days in Sofia aims to celebrate the very successful collaboration between the institutes involved in the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas Consortium (IMSAC). It will solidify connections and further expand the prosperous cooperation between these esteemed institutions.

Institute of Mathematics and Informatics announces a Senior Researcher Temporary Position
The Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences offers a 6-month Senior Researcher position in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a possibility for extension.
The starting date is October 1, 2024, but it is flexible. The working language is English.
The approved candidate will be affiliated with the International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia (ICMS-Sofia), which is part of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and will work in the field of functional analysis and complex analysis. The project includes the study of Hadamard multipliers on spaces of holomorphic functions in complex plane and several variables. These are linear continuous maps such that every monomial is an eigenvector of the map.
Candidates must send a CV and a list of publications to pdj@math.bas.bg with a copy to director@math.bas.bg by July 26, 2024.

ICMS-Sofia organizes Modern Methods in Nonlinear Elliptic and Parabolic PDE International Conference
From May 27 to 31, an international conference Modern Methods in Nonlinear Elliptic and Parabolic PDE will be held in Plovdiv. The event is organized by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS–Sofia) at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, with the financial support of the Simons Foundation.
The goal of the conference is to bring together world-renowned senior and early-career researchers working in the field of elliptic and parabolic PDE and foster discussions gravitating around (though not limited to): regularity theory and its applications, free boundaries, singularity formation, qualitative properties of solutions. The meeting also seeks to provide an opportunity for young scholars from Eastern Europe to engage with cutting-edge research in the area, thus helping to maintain the continuity and strength of our traditions in the area.
The conference will be officially opened on May 27, 2024, by Prof. Julian Revalski, President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Director of the International Center for Mathematical Sciences.

IMI announces positions for Leading Researchers at the International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia
The Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI-BAS) announces four temporary (5-year) positions for R4 Leading researchers (Chairs), who are at the career stage at which they are already established leaders with a recognized track record of research achievements. The approved researchers will be affiliated with the International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia (ICMS-Sofia), which is part of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The positions are financially supported by Simons Foundation grant and funds from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria.
The goal is:
- acceleration of progress in mathematics,
- acceleration of ICMS-Sofia reputation worldwide,
- establishing ICMS-Sofia as a leading regional scientific center producing a pipeline for Bulgarian and international talents,
- expanding ICMS-Sofia influence to society in Bulgaria at large in outreach activities and integration with industry.
The approved Chairs must establish their own research groups, consisting of an established researcher, a postdoc, and/or a PhD student. The Chairs need to ensure a high international visibility of the research groups obtaining major results in hot areas of mathematics in the first 5 years. The Chair’s contract can be extended for another 5 years or lead to a permanent position in IMI-BAS.
The selection process will be done by a Recruitment committee and the final selection will be approved by the ICMS Advisory Board.
An evaluation by the above committee will be made after the third (Intermediate Report) and fifth year (Final Report). The contracts will be extended upon the committee’s decision.
Payment to the Leading Researcher/Chair: up to 4800 EUR (9388 BGN) per month. The corresponding social insurance contributions due by the employer are not included in the above amount. Competitive salaries will be provided to the team members (senior staff, postdocs and PhD students). IMI-BAS will appoint the Chair and the team members under an employment contract.
Additionally, each research group will be offered an attractive amount of money for visitors and conferences.
The starting date is planned to be September 1, 2024, at the earliest, but it can be negotiated if needed. The working language is English or Bulgarian.
Additional information will be available upon request.
Applications can be made in any field of the contemporary fundamental and applied Mathematics. There are no restrictions on the applicant’s nationality and gender.
Interested candidates should provide a CV, a list of publications, and a project description (up to 10 pages). Letters of recommendation are not required but will be considered if provided. Please, send your applications by E-mail to director@math.bas.bg.
