Introduction to the Series

Not only are our interactions limited and thus best described not by
well-mixed models but rather by models entailing networks, it is also a fact
that these networks are often interconnected and indeed very much
interdependent. From the World economy to Google Circles, it is clear that
processes taking place in one network might affect what is happening in many
other networks. Within an interdependent system, each type of interaction
has certain relevance or meaning, so that treating all the links identically
inevitably leads to information loss. Interdependent or multiplex networks
are therefore a much better description of such systems, and this Special
Issue is devoted to their structure, dynamics and evolution, as well as to
the study of emergent properties in multi-layered systems in general. Topics
of interest include but are not limited to the spread of epidemics and
information, synchronization, diffusion, random walks, collective behavior
and evolutionary games on interdependent networks.

Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
First reviews typically expected within 6 weeks of submission.

FOUR POSTDOC POSITIONS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND POPULATION GENETICS
Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and Evolutionary Computation
(SAGE) http://www.project-sage.eu

Four outstanding postdoctoral candidates are required to support the 2M
euro EU-funded project ?Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and
Evolutionary Computation? (SAGE). This project brings together four
European research institutions - University of Nottingham, University of
Sheffield, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, and IST Austria - to
develop world-leading research at the interface between Population
Genetics and Computer Science. Specifically, SAGE aims at bringing
together these two research fields to develop a new quantitative theory
of the efficiency of evolutionary processes in natural and artificial
evolution.

Applications are invited from highly skilled researchers in Computer
Science, Mathematics, Physics, Theoretical Biology or related areas (at
the interface between computer science and biology). A good
understanding of evolutionary computation and/or population genetics
will be an advantage. In addition, strong mathematical and analytical
skills are essential. The applicants must have (or be very close to
completing) a PhD in Computer Science, Biology, Mathematics, Physics or
related disciplines. The successful candidates will be working on the
development of a generalised theory of evolution covering both
artificial evolution, such as in evolutionary algorithms, as well as
natural evolution, and integrating methods and tools from both fields,
including runtime analysis and the diffusion approximation, amongst
others. They should be able to work independently as well as in
multidisciplinary teams. Good communication and presentation skills are
crucial. The candidates are expected to disseminate research results in
peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

These posts offer a competitive salary and are available from January
2014, for a period of up to 36 months. Applications should include a CV,
names of references and a letter of motivation.

Applications should be submitted to individual sites as follows:

- University of Nottingham, UK:
Applicants should apply online through
http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pkl/sage-ad.html
Informal enquiries to Per Kristian Lehre,
perkristian.lehre@nottingham.ac.uk

- Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany:
http://www.theinf.uni-jena.de/en/SAGE.html
Applications and informal enquiries should be emailed
to Tobias Friedrich, friedrich@uni-jena.de

- University of Sheffield, UK:
Applicants should apply online through
http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~dirk/sage-ad.html
Informal enquiries to Dirk Sudholt, d.sudholt@sheffield.ac.uk

- Institute of Science and Technology Austria:

Applications and informal enquiries should be emailed
to Tiago Paixao, tiago.paixao@ist.ac.at.

Postdoctoral Position in Combinatorics

The Department of Mathematics at ETH Zurich invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Combinatorics. This position is awarded for two years with start date September 1-October 1, 2014 and has potential to be extended for the third year. Applicants must have completed their doctoral studies by the start date of the appointment. Applications should demonstrate dedication to and strong promise in research. This position offers a very competitive salary and the light teaching load. Courses may be taught in English.

ETH has a large and very active research group in Combinatorics (one faculty member in Math and three faculty in CS and many more research students and postdocs), with a weekly research seminar.

Applications should be received by December 1, 2013. Late applications will be considered as long as the position remains open.

Candidates should send a copy of their CV, list of publications, and research statement, and arrange for three letters of recommendation. Applications can be made only electronically by using following application form: https://www.math.ethz.ch/t3/index.php?application&key2=10&no_cache=1
