Call for Applications (Reminder: Due Feb 21, 2014)

July 20-24, 2014
Vienna, Austria
http://www.kr.org/KR2014/

The 14th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2014) invites PhD students to apply for the Doctoral Consortium program.

Feb 21, 2014 : Deadline for application
March 28, 2014 : Acceptance notification July 20-24, 2014 : Doctoral Consortium

1) AIMS AND SCOPE

The Doctoral Consortium is a student mentoring program that introduces students to senior researchers with similar research interests. The aims of the consortium are:

* to provide a forum for students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers;
* to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas;
* to support students with information and advice on academic, research and industrial careers.

The Doctoral Consortium is intended for students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience.

We encourage submissions from PhD students at any level, and from any topic area within Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.

A number of student grants will be available to support student participation.


2) APPLICATION SUBMISSION

Applications must be submitted via our online submission site (see below). Each application must contain the following materials:

* Thesis summary: A description of the problem being addressed, your motivation for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research, the progress to date (what you have already achieved and what remains to be done), and related work. It must be four pages maximum in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php).
* Curriculum Vitae: A description of your background and relevant experience (research, education, employment).
* Letter of recommendation: A letter from your thesis advisor that states that he/she supports your participation in the DC.
* (Optional) You can suggest 3-5 potential mentors with similar research interests as you, who could give you good advice on technical aspects of your work, and/or your career.
* (Optional) Specify 3 to 5 questions you would like to ask your mentor and give some keywords that describe you research interests

The most preferred way of submission is to combine the thesis summary and the letter of recommendation (and, optionally, the list of suggested mentors) into a single PDF document. If you cannot do that, archive the documents into a single zip file. In either case, the resulting single file has to be submitted via the EasyChair system at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2014dc

3) IMPORTANT DATES

Feb 21, 2014 : Deadline for application
March 28, 2014 : Acceptance notification July 20-24, 2014 : Doctoral Consortium

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN APPROXIMATION ALGORITHMS & ALGORITHMIC GAME THEORY

The Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of
Waterloo is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position. The
position will last one year with the possibility of extension to a
second. Candidates with research focus in Approximation Algorithms and
Algorithmic Game Theory are encouraged to apply.

The salary for the position will be competitive with comparable
positions at other North American universities. Candidates will be
given the opportunity to teach within UW's Math undergraduate program
if they wish.

A PhD in mathematics, computer science, operations research or a
related field is required.

Interested individuals should apply using MathJobs (www.mathjobs.org).
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a short statement of
research interests and goals, and three reference letters.

Inquiries may be sent to combopt@math.uwaterloo.ca. The application
deadline is March 1, 2014. Some applications may be processed as they
are received.
