As a service to those who are seeking employment and to those who are offering employment, we are planning an online networking event on Thursday November 3.  People with interests in algebraic topology and related fields are welcome to present.

Here’s how the event will work.  Presenters will submit 5-10 minute videos that describe their research.  These are like video versions of research statements.  The videos will be posted on the Junior Mathematician Research Archive (JMRA). Prior to the event, potential employers (and other interested participants) will have about one week to view these videos.

The live event will take place on Zoom on Thursday November 3.  Each presenter will have an individual breakout room.  Participants will be able to move themselves between breakout rooms in order to meet with presenters and to discuss their research.

In addition, we will offer a short panel discussion on the topic “How to plan and give a good talk”. Anna Marie Bohmann, Teena Gerhardt, and Bert Guillou will serve as panelists.

Schedule

Applications for presenters are due on Thursday September 29.  Organizers will notify applicants about the status of their applications by Thursday October 6.  Video research summaries must be submitted to JMRA by Thursday October 20, and they will be posted by Thursday October 27.

Beware that the event will take place after Europe has adjusted its clocks off of daylight time, but before North America has adjusted its clocks. If you are located in Europe, the event will take place one hour earlier than you might expect.
