As part of the Junior Star project Socio-Spatial Situatedness of Roman Professions and its Impact on Religion in the Roman Empire: A Formal Modeling Approach, a selection procedure is announced for a postdoc position (0.7 FTE) for an expert in mathematics and statistics. The project is affiliated with the Center for Digital Research of Religion.

Abstract of the project

The SIPROME project will investigate how uncertainties, risks, and variabilities associated with working environments in the Roman Empire impacted the worship strategies of people of profession. By means of formal modeling using a wide array of archaeological and epigraphic data, the project will analyze how and to what extent the exceptionally specialized division of labor in the Roman Empire contributed to the socio-spatial distribution of Roman cults. This mathematical approach, using tools such as spatial proximity analysis, quantitative textual analysis, and predictive modeling, has the significant potential to disentangle the complex interplay between the strongly stratified Roman society, the highly variable physical world it inhabited, and the diverse religious answers that it prompted. SIPROME bridges the gap between the debates on Roman religion and professions that have largely developed independently and it contributes to a major societal topic of risk mitigation strategies from a unique standpoint.

On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at the opening ceremony of the academic year, the rector's awards for outstanding teachers were presented. Two of the prizes were received by our colleagues from DMS dr. Marie Budíková a prof. Michal Veselý.

Marie Budíková



She has worked at the faculty since 1980. Her focus is on teaching statistics and probability, as well as preparing future secondary school mathematics teachers.

Michal Veselý



He teaches courses focused on mathematical analysis. Students rate his lectures highly for their engaging and clear nature, and for his ability to combine theory with practical examples.


Congratulations!

A list of electronic math magazines available at MU (more than 650 titles) can be found HERE .

However, magazines from the EBSCO and ProQuest megadablets are not included in this list.

But, it is possible to search for mathematical journals directly in these databases, for example:


EBSCO

http://search.ebscohost.com → EBSCOhost Research Databases → select Publications tab in the top bar → select databases (the most comprehensive is Adamic Search Ulitmate) → in the field Browsing Select By Subject & Description and enter a keyword in the field (eg Mathematics)


PROQUEST CENTRAL

https://search.proquest.com → select Publications in the upper bar → enter a keyword (eg Mathematics) in the search box and choose where we want to search (eg in subject) to Scholarly Journals
