The purpose of the Beatriu de Pinós programme is to award the grants on a competitive basis for the employment and incorporation of postdoctoral research staff into the Catalan science and technology system.
The CRM is encouraging applicants to the Beatriu de Pinós 2021 postdoctoral call, funded by the Catalan Agency for Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR), to be hosted by the CRM research groups.
Requirements:
- Be in possession of a PhD degree obtained between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2019
- Have, at the time of joining the host organisation, a minimum of two years of postdoctoral experience outside Spain.
- Must not have resided or carried out their main activity in Spain for more than twelve months in the three years immediately prior to the deadline for submitting Applications.
Interested candidates should refer to the potential hosting research areas webpage and contact the principal investigator.
The submission deadline for applications: 28 March 2021 at 2pm (local time in Barcelona)

Fish schools and growing tissues: a workshop on how collective behaviour emerges
The Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) organised the Barcelona Workshop on Kinetic and Macroscopic Models in Biology with Friends II, held from 7 to 10 September at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans. More than thirty researchers discussed how order at the scale of tissues and animal groups arises from local interactions between individuals, in a programme that included talks by CRM researchers Daria Stepanova and Juan Arellano-Tintó. Two of the speakers, James Sharpe (EMBL Barcelona) and Chiara Villa (CNRS, Université Paris Cité), talked to the CRM about their research.

Almost every automaton can be reset with a short word
Guillaume Chapuy (Université Paris Cité, CNRS) and Guillem Perarnau (UPC, CRM) have shown that a random finite automaton with n states can, with high probability, be reset by a word of length of order √n log n. The result, published in ACM Transactions on Algorithms, pins the exponent at 1/2, the lower end of a decade of numerical estimates, and addresses the random version of the synchronization problem behind a conjecture Ján Černý posed in 1964 and which still remains open.
