Conferences
I organize the Southern California Algebra Conference (SCAC), which is a one-day algebra meeting at UCLA. Please contact me if you would like to be on the mailing list.
The next meeting will be on April 27, 2013.

Lecture Notes
The following are lecture notes, together with exercises, for a series of five lectures on noncommutative projective geometry which I gave at
the MSRI graduate workshop in Berkeley in June 2012. They are very rough (in particular, lack good references). I plan to
heavily revise them over the coming year to produce a clean, more final version. However, in the meantime I will continue to make this preliminary version
available here.

Advice on applying for research jobs
I wrote the following document for a panel aimed at graduate students weighing whether they might want a career as an academic research mathematician.
It also contains advice about the specifics of the job application process. I don't claim to have any unique point of view on this, but some people have told me they found this document helpful.
