The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center is pleased to announce its 2006-2007 Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship. The fellowship provides an excellent opportunity for research in Mathematics and Computer Science, with exposure to technical problems arising in industry.

Areas of research include:

• algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line);
• coding theory;
• cryptography;
• data mining (machine learning, pattern recognition, and computational statistics);
• dynamical systems and differential equations; high-performance computation (including scientific computing and parallel computing);
• numerical analysis;
• optimization (discrete, continuous, and stochastic);
• probability theory (stochastic models, risk management, queues and queueing networks);
• statistics (time-series, multivariate analysis, design, and reliability);
• and supply-chain and operations management (pricing, optimization and performance modeling).

Candidates must have a Ph.D. after September 2001 or should receive one before the second half of 2006. One fellowship will be awarded with stipend between $95,000 and $115,000 (depending on area and experience).

Applications must be received before December 31, 2005. Complete details and the application procedure are available at http://www.research.ibm.com/math/goldstine.html.

IBM is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer committed to workplace diversity.
