Two post-doctoral positions (2y & 1y) in theoretical CS, Piscataway NJ (U.S.A.)

DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer 
Science, based at Rutgers University, invites applications for 
postdoctoral positions associated with the Center.

DIMACS solicits applications of two types:

a) DIMACS - Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) Postdoc. This is a two-year 
postdoctoral associateship with the first year (2021-2022) spent at 
DIMACS, and the second year (2022-2023) spent at IAS in Princeton. There 
is a requirement to teach one course during the first year. Applicants 
should be recent PhDs with interest in theoretical computer science and/or 
discrete mathematics. Research areas include but are not limited to: 
computational complexity, algorithms, optimization, cryptography, 
combinatorics, graph theory, and discrete probability. For this postdoc, 
applicants must apply both to DIMACS and IAS.

b) DIMACS Postdoc. This is a one-year position. Topics include theoretical 
computer science (TCS), the foundations of data science (DS), and 
artificial intelligence (AI). The postdoc will be based at DIMACS at 
Rutgers University, mentored by a faculty member at Rutgers or a DIMACS 
partner institution, and able to participate in the breadth of activities 
at DIMACS, while working on a research program of his or her own design. 
The postdoc will have unique opportunities to help plan workshops to 
complement their research and visit one of four domestic and four 
international partners. Applicants should be recent PhD graduates in 
computer science, economics, information science, operations research, or 
a related field, preferably with a focus in TCS or AI.

Positions provide salary, health benefits, and an allowance for domestic 
travel.

Applicants should provide a cover letter specifying which postdoctoral 
position(s) they are applying for, a curriculum vitae, a research 
statement highlighting their past and planned future research, a teaching 
statement if applying for the DIMACS-IAS position or intending to teach, 
and the names & email addresses of three references.

DIMACS fosters research and education programs on topics that lie at the 
interface of discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science and 
their wide-ranging applications. It was founded as an NSF Science and 
Technology Center in 1989. DIMACS?s partners include Rutgers University, 
AT&T Labs - Research, Columbia University, Georgia Tech, IBM Research, 
Microsoft Research, NEC Laboratories America, New Jersey Institute of 
Technology, Nokia Bell Labs, Perspecta Labs, Princeton University, 
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Stevens Institute of Technology.

Research and education areas at DIMACS include algorithms, combinatorics, 
complexity, privacy and security, discrete and computational geometry, 
optimization, graph theory, data science, artificial intelligence, and 
machine learning, with applications in sustainability, epidemiology, 
genetics, networks, transportation, security, and economics. Many DIMACS 
activities relate to specific topics of current interest represented by 
the DIMACS Special Focus programs. Postdoctoral Associates at DIMACS are 
encouraged to collaborate with DIMACS members and visitors and to 
participate in all of the research and educational activities of DIMACS.

We believe that research and society benefit from a diverse workplace and 
strongly encourage applications from women, minorities, individuals with 
disabilities, veterans, and students with non-traditional backgrounds.
