The deadline is approaching!
The Combinatorics and Optimization group at the Institute of
Mathematics and Statistics of the University of S?o Paulo invites
applications for a postdoc fellowship in the context of the project
"Optimization Methods for Extremal Geometry", which is a part of
FAPESP project 13/03447-6 "Combinatorial structures, optimization, and
algorithms in theoretical Computer Science".
While the main direction of the project lies in applications of
optimization techniques, namely combinatorial optimization methods and
semidefinite programming, to geometrical problems (like the sphere
packing problem, or the kissing number problem), previous experience
in these areas is not required. We will be looking instead at the
depth of the applicant's research and his/her proficiency in applying
optimization methods and in areas such as harmonic analysis,
functional analysis, discrete geometry, and combinatorics. Familiarity
with semidefinite programming is however an asset. No teaching is
involved.
The salary is BRL 5,908.80/month, tax-free. For those living outside
of S?o Paulo, the flight will be reimbursed, and a further salary is
given for moving costs. There is also an allowance of BRL 10,634.40
per year for travel and other costs related to the project. The
fellowship is granted for a period of 12 months, which can be extended
for a further 12 months based on performance.
The start date is February 1st, 2014 (negotiable).
Deadline for application: January 5th, 2014.
Applications should consist of (1) a Curriculum Vitae including a
publications list; (2) a research statement (max. 5 pages) detailing
past research and including future research directions; (3) names and
emails of 3 references. The application should be sent AS A SINGLE PDF
FILE to
fmario+apply@gmail.com
Informal inquiries about the position can be sent to
fmario+questions@gmail.com

===================================================================
10 PhD places in new Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Science
Web site: http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/
Application deadline: 27 January 2014 (first round)
===================================================================
The Edinburgh Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data Science is
now inviting applications for 10 fully-funded PhD studentships, to
start in September 2014. Students with a strong background in computer
science, mathematics, physics, or engineering are particularly
encouraged to apply.
The CDT focuses on the computational principles, methods, and systems
for extracting knowledge from data. Large data sets are now generated
by almost every activity in science, society, and commerce - ranging
from molecular biology to social media, from sustainable energy to
health care. Data science asks: How can we efficiently find patterns
in these vast streams of data? Many research areas have tackled parts
of this problem: machine learning focuses on finding patterns and
making predictions from data; databases are needed for efficiently
accessing data and ensuring its quality; ideas from algorithms are
required to build systems that scale to big data streams; and separate
research areas have grown around different types of unstructured data
such as text, images, sensor data, video, and speech. Recently, these
distinct disciplines have begun to converge into a single field called
data science.
The CDT is a 4-year programme: the first year provides Masters level
training in the core areas of data science, along with a significant
project. In years 2-4 students will carry out PhD research in Data
Science, guided by PhD supervisors from within the centre. The CDT is
funded by EPSRC and the University of Edinburgh.
Edinburgh has a large, world-class research community in data science
to support the work of the CDT student cohort. The city of Edinburgh
has often been voted the 'best place to live in Britain', and has many
exciting cultural and student activities.
Because of constraints from funding agencies, there are different
rules for funding depending on your fee status:
* UK and EU students: Full funding (fees and stipend) is available.
* Non-EU students: Funding is significantly more competitive; see
http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/apply/information-for-non-eu-students/
for details.
See http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/apply/ for further information and
application forms. Enquiries via datascience@inf.ed.ac.uk .
There are two deadlines for applications:
* First round deadline for full consideration. Apply by 27 January
2014. (Any non-EU candidates must apply by this date, as well as
following the specific instructions for non-EU residents.)
* Second round: Any remaining scholarships will be awarded in a
second round of applications. The deadline for the second round is
31 March 2014.
