CENTER FOR DISCRETE MATHEMATICS
AND THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE
Applications are invited for visiting and postdoctoral
positions in the center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical
Computer Science (DIMACS). This center is supported through the
NSF Science and Technology Center Research Program. The
participating institutions are Rutgers University, Princeton
University, AT&T Bell Laboratories, and Bellcore. Research
facilities are located at the Rutgers and Princeton campuses.
Applications are sought in all areas of discrete mathematics
and theoretical computer science, including (but not limited to)
analysis of algorithms, combinatorics, complexity, computational
algebra, discrete and computational geometry, discrete
optimization and graph theory. The center will be able to offer
a few long-term positions (one to two years, almost exclusively
to those with no more than three years since their Ph.D.) and a
number of short-term positions (up to a few months).
A primary activity of the center is to sponsor year-long
research programs on specific topics of current interest. The
program for 1991-92 is Combinatorial Optimization and Graph
Theory. People with research interests in these fields are
particularly encouraged to apply. DIMACS will also sponsor
short-term research workshops in areas both related to and not
related to the special year theme, and it will host a large
number of participants for these workshops. In addition, the
center is planning a number of educational activities, including
a summer workshop for high school mathematics teachers and a
summer workshop for high school students.
Postdoctoral fellows and long-term/short-term visitors will
pursue active research programs and participate in the activities
of the center. A few positions will be reserved for faculty
members from nonresearch institutions who might wish to spend all
or part of their sabbatical years at DIMACS. Applications from
researchers in industry are especially encouraged and will be
given special consideration.
All applications are due February 1, 1991. Inquiries and
applications should be directed to: Dr. Daniel Gorenstein,
Director, DIMACS, rutgers University, P.O. Box 1179, Piscataway,
NJ 08855-1179; center @dimacs.rutgers.edu.
All participating institutions are equal
opportunity/affirmative action employers.
