Posd-docs at Simon Fraser & PIMS

[David G Mitchell]

Post-Doctoral Fellowships, Simon Fraser University

Applications are solicited for several postdoctoral positions in the 
School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University. These positions are 
being offered in conjunction with the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical 
Sciences (PIMS) and the MITACS Networks of Centres of Excellence.

PIMS postdoc applicants are solicited in the areas of computational logic,
graph theory, combinatorics and computational geometry. Successful candidates 
will be expected to participate in appropriate research activities of both 
the School and PIMS. The annual stipend is $50,000 (inclusive of benefits).

MITACS postdocs/research associates are solicited in the areas of discrete
optimization, computational geometry, graph theory, operations research, 
algorithms, and industrial mathematics. Successful candidates will be expected 
to work on a combination of theoretical and industrial research relevant to 
ongoing MITACS projects within the school. The school currently boasts two 
such projects in the areas of scheduling (Project Leaders: Pavol Hell and 
Lou Hafer) and facility location problems (Project Leader: Binay Bhattacharya). 
The annual stipend for MITACS postdocs is $50,000 (inclusive of benefits).

Successful candidates for all postdoc positions must hold a PhD in the
relevant area at the time they take up the position and have a strong 
research record. Positions are for one year with a strong possibility for 
renewal for a second year subject to funding.

The School of Computing Science has 33 faculty members, and offers an expanding 
graduate program with over 130 M.Sc. and Ph.D. students. The School has 
state-of-the art computer equipment with excellent network support. There are 
well-equipped research laboratories in areas including algorithms, artificial 
intelligence, graphics and multimedia, and database systems. As well the School 
has strong links with the university's Centre for Systems Science, the B.C. 
Advanced Systems Institute, the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences 
and is the head office for MITACS.  Further information can be obtained 
at the department web page: www.cs.sfu.ca.
