✨ Applications are open for the Grace Chisholm Young Fellowship. This fellowship, named after Grace Chisholm Young, will give an endorsement of the holder's status as a mathematician so that a break in formal employment should not prevent them from resuming a career as a mathematician at a later stage. The Society offers one fellowship each year to a mathematician who needs support when their mathematical career is interrupted by family responsibilities, relocation of a partner, or other similar circumstances, making possible some continuous mathematical activity, enabling the fellow to be in a position to apply for posts when circumstances allow. Deadline: 28 February 2025 ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eHBpqzpx

Nominations are invited for the Hirst Prize and Lectureship in 2025. Jointly awarded by the LMS and BSHM, the Hirst Prize is awarded for original and innovative work in the history of mathematics, which may be in any medium. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ekTuM_Eu

Our friends at Newton Gateway to Mathematics are hosting a great day-long event about mathematics and data science communication at Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences on Thursday 21 November. Climate change, artificial intelligence, disease modelling and public health – these are just a few of the societal issues that mathematical and data sciences are key to understanding and addressing. It is vital that those outside the research community – including policy makers, mainstream media, and the wider public – are informed about advances in these areas and are part of the discussions about such research. And researchers need professional help to communicate their research and engage with concerns from these wider audiences. This one-day event will explore evidence for effectively communicating research in mathematical and data science to non-experts. Speakers come from a range of fields, including economics, government, health, neuroscience, as well as mathematics and data science. The event is organised by the Mathsci-comm network in collaboration with the Newton Gateway to Mathematics. It is supported by the Academy for Mathematical Sciences and the Knowledge Exchange Hub for Mathematical Sciences. The full programme is now online, registration is open and all are welcome 👇

Nominations are invited for the LMS/Institute of Mathematics and its Applications David Crighton Medal in 2025. The medal is awarded to an eminent mathematician for services both to mathematics and to the mathematical community. The David Crighton Medal was established by the Councils of the London Mathematical Society (LMS) and Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) to pay tribute to the memory of Professor David George Crighton FRS. The prize winner must be resident in the UK on the 1st January of the year of the award. The prize winner will receive a silver gilt medal which will be presented at a joint meeting of the LMS and the IMA, and will be invited to give a lecture. Previous winners of the David Crighton Medal are Professor Alison Etheridge (2023), Professor Ken Brown (2019), Professor I. David Abrahams (2017), Professor Frank Kelly (2015), Professor Arieh Iserles and Dr Peter Neumann (2012), Professor Keith Moffatt (2009), Professor Sir Christopher Zeeman (2006) and Professor Sir John Ball (2003).
