The recent emergence of social media and our ability to collect and analyse large amounts of data makes more quantitative, and in particular data-driven, methods more amenable. This interdisciplinary project will use mathematical and quantitative approaches to study the effects of social influence on financial market behaviour, aiming to answer such questions as "Can we measure the effect of social networks on financial decision-making?”, "Can we anticipate the market reaction to the spreading of information, or misinformation?” and "What are possible strategies for minimising the effect of malicious misinformation attacks?"<\/p> We will look at how social networks – both at the individual and societal level – influence investment decisions, and investigate whether social influence can lead to market instability. We will further consider whether it is possible to detect social influence and incipient instability from market data in real time. <\/p> We will model both financial markets and social networks using a mixture of agent-based modelling, network dynamics and stochastic differential equations, and use data assimilation to update models on the fly, with the ultimate aim of automating the detection of market instability and its causes. The stochastic models developed will be based on research in the sociology of crowd behaviour, thus linking qualitative and quantitative theories of crowd dynamics. <\/p> The overall aim of this project is to increase our understanding of the influence of social media on financial markets and inform policy makers and financial institutions.<\/p> Applicants should have a minimum of an upper second class undergraduate degree or a merit at Master’s level in mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics or a related discipline with a large quantitative component. An interest in financial markets and\/or social media is desirable and a positive attitude towards interdisciplinary research is essential. <\/p> \n Closing Date: 31 Mar 2019 This project will develop new methods for medical image analysis by combining techniques from statistical and topological data analysis. <\/p> The overall objective is to robustly detect morphological features in biomedical images obtained by label-free ‘finger-printing’ vibrational spectroscopy methods and classify the images according to their disease status. Such advanced spectroscopy and novel imaging methods are able to extract the chemical composition of biological systems, including living cells, to an unprecedented level of detail, and thus can be used for accurate medical diagnosis and early detection of diseases. The imaging techniques give multicomponent spectral information bearing chemical and structural information that can be complex to disentangle in a robust non-subjective manner. However, at the moment, the diagnosis depends solely on the clinician’s expertise, while machine learning data-driven classifiers are limited by the typically small number of training samples.<\/p> This project will develop novel statistical models which use topological summaries to create powerful methods for image classification without the need of vast training sets. Topology is the mathematical study of shape, and modern methods, including persistent homology, have been extremely successful at detecting key morphological features (‘shape’) in multiple application domains, including brain morphology or material science. <\/p> The first objective of this project is to develop statistically robust topological summaries of morphological features from single or multicomponent ‘chemical maps’ in biomedical images. These shape descriptors can be quantified and presented to the clinician to inform her\/his decision. The second objective is to develop a classifier based on a statistical model that uses topological summaries. The integration of topological summaries in statistical models is a rapidly growing area which has provided several important results to date. <\/p> The successful applicant will be exposed to a truly interdisciplinary environment in the interface between Mathematics and Medicine, and will be trained in advanced statistical and topological techniques, as well as contribute to state-of-the-art tools for biomedical image analysis. <\/p> The ideal candidate will have at least an upper second-class undergraduate degree, or a merit at masters, in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or related area, with an interest in biomedical problems and a positive attitude towards interdisciplinary research.<\/p> Application Enquiries: Dr Helen Ogden h.e.ogden@soton.ac.uk <\/p>\n \n Closing Date: 28 Jun 2019 Funding status: [pending]<\/p> Applications accepted all year round<\/p> In recent years the use of networks has been very successful in the study of complex real-world systems. From social, engineering, biological or communication networks, this approach has improved the understanding of structural and functional properties of such systems. Networks can also be used to describe dynamical systems, that is, systems that change with time. For such systems, a fundamental question is how to guide the system towards desirable states in an optimal way. Examples include the control of oscillations in the brain to mitigate the effects of Parkinson’s disease, applications in marketing aiming to influence people who exchange opinions on social networks, or even the design of optimal developing strategies for economic activities. This research area, optimal control of networks, has recently received much attention, and novel approaches have the potential of a large impact beyond disciplinary boundaries.<\/p> Solutions to problems of network control usually involve the identification of an optimal set of driver nodes, such that the given system can be steered in a desired direction. Identifying such nodes, in often extremely high-dimensional search spaces, poses an extremely difficult optimization problem in most practical applications. On the other hand, most real-world networks possess structural redundancies (symmetries) which can be exploited in virtually any network analysis, leading to outstanding computational reductions in typical calculations. However, network symmetries have not yet been exploited in network control problems. <\/p> In this PhD project, the candidate will develop new algorithms and numerical techniques to solve or approximate network control problems exploiting recent results on network symmetries, which allow the identification of structurally equivalent nodes. Identifying such nodes allows successive reductions of the system complexity, substantially reducing the number of degrees of freedom of any network optimization problem. <\/p> The proposed PhD project is interdisciplinary in nature and will bring together recent state-of-the-art insights in the mathematical study of networks by Dr Sanchez-Garcia with recent work in computer science on network control in influence maximization by Dr Brede. The PhD candidate will be trained in a unique set of interdisciplinary skills in pure and applied mathematics, computer science and physics. <\/p> The ideal candidate will have at least an upper second-class in an undergraduate degree, or a merit at Masters, in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or related area, with an interest in networks and\/or control optimisation.<\/p> Application Enquiries: Dr Ruben Sanchez-Garcia R.Sanchez-Garcia@soton.ac.uk<\/p> \n Closing Date: 28 Jun 2019 We are looking to appoint for a joint appointment between Southampton Mathematical Sciences and Southampton Business School.<\/strong><\/p> Due to the recent award of a prestigious fellowship, Southampton Mathematical Sciences and Southampton Business School have an opening for one joint appointment for the post of Lecturer in Operational Research (OR).<\/p> The post will be held within CORMSIS, the Centre for Operational Research, Management Science and Information Systems (http:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/cormsis\/index.page) that brings together the Operational Research Group in Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Decision, Analytics and Risk in the Southampton Business School. CORMSIS is one of the largest OR\/MS\/IS groups in the UK, covering the whole spectrum of current OR\/MS\/IS activity from theoretical mathematical developments to problem structuring and knowledge management.<\/p> You should have a PhD in Operational Research or a related discipline, or evidence of near-completion of a PhD.<\/p> You will have skills and experience that will enable you to contribute significantly to the teaching provision of Mathematical Sciences and Southampton Business School, involving high quality delivery. You will be able to demonstrate a high-quality research track-record with plans for future research activity, and you are expected to have research expertise or experience closely aligned to CORMSIS.<\/p> Duties, as determined by the Heads of the Academic Units will include teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students and supervision of MSc projects. As part of the role, you will also be expected to support the effective management and administration within the two Academic Units.<\/p> We particularly welcome applicants with a strong analytical background.

This information will be extremely valuable, allowing those cases where the methods will be useful to be identified without requiring extensive and expensive experimental validation.
2. To improve free energy calculation methodology to address these sensitivities. We have considerable experience of optimising free energy methodology, including in recent years the use of advanced force fields and enhanced sampling methods.<\/div>Funding Notes<\/h2>
