IBM Research Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mathematical Sciences

The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center invites applications for its 2003-2004 Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in mathematical and computer sciences. The fellowship provides scientists of outstanding ability an opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident department members at the Research Center. The department provides an atmosphere in which basic research is combined with work on technical problems arising in industry.

One fellowship will be awarded. Candidates must have a doctorate and no more than five years of postdoctoral professional experience (with a preference for less) when the fellowship commences. The fellowship has a period of one year, and may be extended another year by mutual agreement. The stipend is from $85,000 to $95,000, depending on experience, plus an allowance for moving expenses. The Research Center is located in Westchester County, less than an hour north of New York City.

The Mathematical Sciences Department does research in pure and applied mathematics and in theoretical and exploratory computer science. Areas of current research include: optimization (discrete, continuous, and stochastic); algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line); probability theory (including applications in finance, queueing, stochastic models, and risk management); statistics; supply-chain management (optimization and performance modelling); dynamical systems and differential equations; knowledge discovery, data mining, and machine learning; high-performance computation (including numerical analysis, parallel computing, and weather modelling); cryptography; coding theory; and economics (including auctions, decision theory, game theory, and experimental economics). For additional information about the department, please see http://www.research.ibm.com/math.

Close interaction with permanent department members is expected, but fellows are free to pursue their own research interests.

Applications must be received in hardcopy by December 12th, 2002. (Please cite KDnuggets as the information source in your application.)
