Special Volume of MSCS in honor of Marek Zawadowski
by Chris Kapulkin 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Dear Colleagues, We are honored to announce a special volume of the journal Mathematical Structures in Computer Science celebrating the work of Marek Zawadowski. Marek Zawadowski (1960-2024) was a mathematician at the University of Warsaw. He received his Ph.D. from the Université de Montréal in 1989 under the supervision of Gonzalo Reyes with the dissertation “Théorie de la descente pour les prétopos.” He made fundamental contributions to category theory, logic, and linguistics. He passed away unexpectedly in February 2024. This special volume is a celebration of Marek Zawadowski’s work and welcomes submissions on a broad range of topics, including: categorical logic, higher category theory, and linguistics. The volume will be edited by four guest editors: Pierre-Louis Curien (Université Paris Cité and Inria) Justyna Grudzińska (University of Warsaw) Chris Kapulkin (University of Western Ontario) Karol Szumiło (University of Warsaw) To submit your paper to the special volume, please go to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mscs After starting a new submission, you will be asked (as part of Step 1) whether your manuscript is a candidate for a Special Issue; you should select “Tribute to Marek Zawadowski.” The editors will be happy to answer any questions at marek.zawadowski.memorial(a)gmail.com The submission deadline is March 31, 2025. If you are planning to submit a paper but are worried about making the deadline, please contact the editors at your earliest convenience.

Postdoc positions at UCL on Categorical Probability Theory
by Zanasi, Fabio 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Dear all, I’m starting a project on categorical probability theory in September 2024 at University College London. We are investigating axiomatic calculi of string diagrams for categories of probabilistic processes (Markov categories), also with applications to Bayesian inference and probabilistic graphical models. Two postdoc positions will be soon available to work on this project at University College London, with starting date between October 2024 and January 2025, and end date August 2025 (with the possibility of extending for one more year if the project is approved for a second round of funding). Funds will be also available for travelling to conferences, workshops, and research visits. The project requires a PhD in Computer Science or Mathematics (or close to completion) by the starting date, and previous research experience in at least two of the following areas: applied category theory, probabilistic programming, (Bayesian) probabilistic graphical models. If you are interested in applying, please contact me directly via email at f.zanasi(a)ucl.ac.uk<mailto:f.zanasi@ucl.ac.uk>. -- Fabio Zanasi Professor of Computer Science Department of Computer Science University College London 66-72 Gower Street London WC1E 6BT United Kingdom You're receiving this message because you're a member of the Categories mailing list group from Macquarie University.

3-Year Postdoc in Structures and Homotopy in Optimisation
by Henning Basold 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Dear all, I am currently looking for a postdoc to work on abstract structures in optimisation algorithms and theory. There are two directions: 1) understanding structures in algorithms via category theory and logic, and 2) developing further homotopy theory in optimisation by appealing also here to (higher) category theory. Ideally, a candidate either has a strong background in optimisation algorithms and their mathematical underpinnings and would be willing to learn about structural methods from category theory, homotopy theory and higher category theory; or, alternatively, has a background in (higher) category theory and homotopy theory, combined with some understanding of algorithms and the willingness to dive into the subtleties of optimisation algorithms. There is thus some leeway in the background, and mostly I am looking for someone who is willing to creatively engage in this project, and someone who can work together closely with me and researchers in our institute in optimisation. The opening with a longer description and details for applicants can be found here: https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024/q3/15041-postdoc-in-struct… More details can also be requested directly from me. I would be very grateful if you could forward this vacancy to anyone who you think may be interested.

Online resources/Introducing Category Theory
by Peter Smith 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

Dear all, A brief note to say that I’ve just updated my much-visited web-page linking to online materials on category theory, freely/legally available at a more or less introductory level. I’m not aiming to be completist, but I have no doubt missed some good things. So do please let me know of any recent materials I might helpfully add to the list. And perhaps, when appropriate, spread the word to students who could find the page useful. One recent addition is a somewhat more polished version of my own notes, now titled Introducing Category Theory. I make no claim at all for these notes other than they should be a-bit-more-than-averagely accessible for self-study, and so they might make for helpful preliminary reading for students about to take on an industrial-strength course next semester. (I’m no category theorist, just a logician of sorts looking with interest over the fence: so I’d of course like to know about any foul-ups, and to have suggestions for improvement!)
