2005 Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship (in Computer Science and Computer Engineering)

2005 Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship

IBM is proud to announce the 2005 Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral 
Fellowship in Computer Science and Computer Engineering in memory of Dr. 
Raviv, the founder and director of IBM's Haifa Research Laboratory. Dr. 
Raviv had a distinguished research career in Information Theory and was a
 
pioneer in the Israeli high-tech industry.

IBM will offer one postdoctoral fellowship to a recent Ph.D. who shows 
exceptional promise for a research career in computer science or computer
 
engineering. The fellowship will be for one year, with an opportunity for
 
IBM to renew for an additional year. The stipend will be at least $95,000
 
(depending on experience of the recipient) plus reasonable moving and 
travel expenses. A candidate must have received the Ph.D. degree between 
January 2001 and August 2005.

Depending on proposed collaborations, the Fellow will spend most of 
his/her time at one of the IBM Research labs in the US: Almaden Research 
Center (California), Austin Research Lab (Texas), or Thomas J. Watson 
Research Center (New York). The Fellow will be free to follow his/her own
 
research interests, but is expected to work closely with other IBM 
researchers. Applicants are encouraged to identify IBM Research groups 
working in the area of their interest. The Fellow will be expected to 
visit IBM's Haifa Research Lab and give a seminar at the Hebrew University
 
(Jerusalem).

To apply, please submit the following documents by March 28, 2005:

?     Resume (include contact email, postal address, and phone number)
?     Thesis summary
?     Research proposal (include proposed home lab and proposed IBM
       Research collaborators)
?     Transcript(s) of graduate level course work
?     Reprint of Fellow's most significant research publication (in PDF

Computer Engineering. More than 1200 CS/CE researchers work in IBM 
Research labs in six countries, pursuing topics in almost all disciplines
 
of computer science. Last year, our researchers published more than 1000 
journal, conference, and workshop papers. For more information about the 
breadth of our activities (and for any postdoctoral fellowship program
