For those nights when it just won't happen. Clearly it also didn't happen in the 18th century when Handel wrote this aria, though the oratorio in which is features, 'Semele', is taken from Roman poet's Ovid's 'Metamorphoses'. Two millennia of sleeplessness then.

A PhD position is available within the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Liverpool. Applications are welcome from all areas of mathematics, and we particularly encourage applications from those interested in probability. 

Our probability group comprises:

Hello Oxford Maths students! 

GSK is building a new team in their AI R&D department, lead by a fellow Oxford MMath alumnus. Join us in the very fast-growing space of pharmaceutical finance and answer important questions like “How can we optimise our capital allocation for the development of essential medicines and vaccines? What level of risk can we afford to take given our budget? What can historical data tell us about the uncertainty in clinical trial outcomes?”

A reminder that prelims corner is taking place every Monday at 11am in the South Mezzanine!

Fridays@2 continues in L1 this week with: Where does collaborating end and plagiarising begin? (https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/70563)
