http://www.icore-algo.org.il/content/post-doc-programs
------------------------------------------------------------

We are seeking excellent candidates for postdoctoral positions at the
I-CORE ALGO (Israeli center of research
excellence in algorithms) institutes. The positions are supported by
the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF).
The Israeli Center of Research Excellence in Algorithms is part of the
I-CORE program, initiated by the
Government of Israel and adopted by Israel's Council of Higher
Education, in order to reinforce Israel's
intellectual capacities and promote synergy among Israel's leading
research centers. The institutes
participating in the center are:

* The Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel Aviv University
* The Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science and
Engineering, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
* Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Weizmann Institute of Science.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): all variety of
algorithms (optimization, online, streaming,
approximation, randomized, geometric and more), cryptography, security
and privacy, algorithmic game theory,
quantum computing, networking and distributed computing, databases,
machine learning and computer vision.

To apply please send the following to icorealgo@cs.tau.ac.il
(deadline: 15/12/13)

* A CV of the applicant including the list of publications.
* A short research statement.
* The preferable I-CORE ALGO fellow to work with (if already known)
and institution in I-CORE ALGO. (There is a
possibility of more than one fellow and/or institution.)

In addition, all applicants should ensure that their recommenders
email their letters (as pdf files) to the
email address above, with the subject line "<candidate_name>:
recommendation". (It is the applicant's
responsibility to ensure that the letters are sent; the Institute will
not solicit letters directly.)

The deadline is 15th December 2013, 24:00 (at GMT+1)

I-CORE in Algorithms and the Simons Institute for the Theory of
Computing in Berkeley - a joint postdoctoral program

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I-CORE Algo ? Israeli Center of Research Excellence in algorithms, and
the Simons Institute for the Theory of
Computing are seeking excellent candidates for a joint postdoctoral
program starting in the academic year 2014-2015.


The Israeli Center of Research Excellence in Algorithms is part of the
I-CORE program, initiated by the
Government of Israel and adopted by Israel's Council of Higher
Education, in order to reinforce Israel's
intellectual capacities and promote synergy among Israel's leading
research centers. The members of the center
are some of Israel's most exceptional computer scientists, from The
Blavatnik School of Computer Science in Tel
Aviv University, The Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science
and Engineering in The Hebrew University
of Jerusalem, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science in
Weizmann Institute of Science.

The Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing is an exciting new
venue for collaborative research in
theoretical computer science and related fields. The Institute is
housed in a dedicated building on the UC
Berkeley campus, and acts as a vibrant and welcoming environment for
visiting researchers. In each academic
semester the activities of the Institute are largely focused on
specific research programs, each of which
attracts thirty to forty participants ranging from senior scientists
to graduate students. The Simons Institute
for the Theory of Computing was created in 2012 through a ten-year
grant from the Simons Foundation (more
information can be found at: http://simons.berkeley.edu/fellows2014).

The joint postdoctoral position would start in Fall 2014. The joint
post-doctoral fellow will first spend a
semester (Fall 2014) at the Simons Institute, and then will continue
at the I-Core in Algorithms for the
remainder of the academic year. The topics of the research programs
for Fall 2014 in the Simons Institute are
"Algorithmic Spectral Graph Theory" and "Algorithms & Complexity in
Algebraic Geometry". The topics of research
in I-CORE in Algorithms include (but are not limited to): all variety
of algorithms (optimization, online,
streaming, approximation, randomized, geometric and more),
cryptography, security and privacy, algorithmic game
theory, quantum computing, networking and distributed computing,
databases, machine learning and computer
vision. The research interests of potential candidates should match
the research interests of both institutions.

Salaries and benefits are competitive and assistance with visas and
housing will be provided.
We particularly encourage applications from outstanding women and
minority candidates. In addition, the I-CORE
in Algorithms would provide some support to travel to and from Israel.
In some circumstances, the fellowship maybe be awarded for more than
one year, up to a maximum of two years.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Each applicant should submit the following documents (as pdf files) in
a single email to
icorealgo@cs.tau.ac.il.

- cover letter, including current institution and employment status,
(expected) date of PhD, and a statement indicating the Simons
Institute program (or programs) in which you wish
to participate, and why. For the I-CORE Algo please indicate which
institute you would like to perform the
research at (can be more than one);

- curriculum vitae, including full list of publications;

- research statement;

- names and email addresses of at least three recommenders.

In addition, all applicants should ensure that their recommenders
email their letters (as pdf files) to the
email address above, with the subject line "<candidate_name>:
recommendation". (It is the applicant's
responsibility to ensure that the letters are sent; I-CORE will not
solicit letters directly.)

The deadline for receipt of all application materials, including
letters, is December 15, 2013.
