The Diversity Committee and the Math For All Team are co-organizing a panel on the basics of academic job searches. Whether you are applying for jobs soon or in a few years, we think this information will be helpful. After the panelists share some words of wisdom on certain topics we will have a Q&A session.
The panelists and their topics are:
Agnès Beaudry (Research Statement Basics).
Lee Roberson (Teaching Statement Basics and Teaching Portfolios).
Alonso Delfín Ares de Parga (Tips on Searching for a Research-Focused Postdoc position).
Rebekah Jones (Tips on Searching for a Teaching-Focused Postdoc position).

In this talk, we will discuss the architecture of braid graphs in simply-laced Coxeter systems. It turns out that every reduced expression has a unique factorization as a product of so-called links, which in turn induces a decomposition of the braid graph into a box product of the braid graphs for each link factor. When the Coxeter graph has no three-cycles, each braid graph is a median graph (i.e., for every triple of vertices, there is a unique vertex, called the median, that belongs to shortest paths between each pair). One consequence of this result is that every braid graph can be isometrically embedded into a hypercube. For a special class of reduced expressions, called Fibonacci links, we show that the corresponding braid graphs are Fibonacci cubes.

We introduce Symplectic Manifolds and some of their fundamental techniques of study with the goal of proving Gromov's Non-squeezing Theorem.
