Pierre Deligne, member of the Faculty of Mathematics Expert Council, laureate of Fields Medal and Abel Prize, became foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The Faculty of Mathematics of the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, Russia, invites applications for full-time, tenure-track positions of Assistant Professor in Mathematics. Knowledge of Russian is an asset but not required as teaching may be conducted in English. Although representatives of all areas of Pure Mathematics will be considered, some preference may be given to candidates working in Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory.

The new international laboratory 'Mirror Symmetry and Automorphic Forms' will open at the Faculty of Mathematics of HSE in 2017. The project of Ludmil Katzarkov (Professor of the University of Miami) won the fifth Mega-grants competition of the Government of the Russian Federation. Our faculty is the only one in the country, where in 2017 will run three laboratories in fundamental mathematics, and two of them are in the framework of this global scientific program of the federal support of scientific research.

Jonathan Gerhard from James Madison University spent one semester studying in Math in Moscow programme run jointly by HSE, Moscow Center for Continuous Mathematical Education, and Independent University of Moscow. During his time in Russia Jonathan took intensive maths courses, studied the Russian language and traveled to several Russian cities.

HSE’s team has won four gold, one silver and one bronze medal at the International Mathematical Competition for University Students (IMС 2016), the most representative mathematics contest for university students. The team included students from the Faculty of Computer Science and the Faculty of Mathematics.

Faculty of Mathematics has moved. Our new address is 6 Usacheva Str., Moscow 119048.
Phone: +7 (495) 624-26-16.

Elizaveta Arzhakova, MSc student at the HSE Faculty of Mathematics, shares her impressions of the semester she spent at École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

The Faculty of Mathematics congratulates its students who have been recently admitted to PhD programs:

Alexandra Viktorova and Alexey Golota — to Stony Brook University, New York,
Yang Daodao — to Indiana University, Bloomington,
Rodion Deev — to New York University, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences,
Bogdan Zavyalov — to Stanford University,
Yakov Kononov — to Columbia University,
Dmitry Matveevsky and Mikhail Mironov — to Northeastern University
Grigori Papayanov — to Northwestern University

Olga Trapeznikova — to ETH Zurich.

The Faculty of Mathematics at National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow, Russia, invites applications for postdoctoral research positions in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.

A career in science and technology might sound appealing to the average Russian, but a recent survey showed that most Russians believe men are better suited for this line of work than women. The young women interviewed for this story, a mathematician and a programmer, are of a different opinion.
