Postdoc position in Discrete Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical statistics and UMIT
Research Lab at Ume? University is offering a postdoctoral scholarship
within the project ?Algorithms For Real-World Problems from Operations
Research Based on the Extended Theory of Tolerances?.
The term tolerance has been introduced by Goldengorin and Sierksma in
2003 and has, since then, attracted much attention, theoretical as well
as within applications to combinatorial optimization problems, in
particular for the Traveling Salesman Problem. Recently, an extended
version of this theory has been created. The applicant is expected to
make use of this new theory and apply it to real-world problems like the
Shortest Path Problem, the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, and the
Strip-Road Network Problem.
The application should have a good knowledge in discrete optimization
and operations research and
good programming skills, for example in the area of linear programming.
The fellow should have the ability to communicate in English and work in
an interdisciplinary environment.
The application should include a short description of your research
interests and why you are interested in the scholarship, a CV, a
publication list, copies of exam certificates, the PhD thesis, and
contact information of at least 2 references. The application should be
written in Swedish or, preferably, English and should be submitted
either on paper in 2 copies or electronically in PDF format.
For more information, please contact Associate Professor Gerold J?ger,
gerold.jaeger@math.umu.se, +46-(0)90-786 61 41 or Assistant Professor
Eddie Wadbro, eddiew@cs.umu.se.
The complete advertisement can be found at
http://www.umu.se/english/about-umu/news-events/grants/12-457-14
Your complete application marked with reference number FS
2.1.12-457-14, should be sent to medel@diarie.umu.se (with reference
number on the subject line) or to the Registrar, Ume? University, SE-901
87 Ume?, Sweden to arrive April 30, 2014 at the latest.

- resume
- grades
- contact details of 2-3 references
The subject line must include "PhD Application (CSC)".
The School of Computing has 42 faculty members, more than 400
undergraduate majors, and over 200 graduate students collectively across
its three divisions: Computer Science, Visual Computing, and
Human-Centered Computing. Clemson University is located in Clemson, South
Carolina, a small college town on beautiful Lake Hartwell at the foothills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, conveniently situated within a 2hr drive from
both Atlanta and Charlotte. Clemson has an enrollment of approximately
20,000. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Clemson in the Top 21
nationally among public universities, and Clemson ranks number 5 among
U.S. universities in supercomputing.

There are four PhD positions available at the TU Eindhoven (the
Netherlands) in the broad area of Data Science. The selected candidates
will get the opportunity to define their own research topic, together
with a supervisor of their choice. Possible topics include computational
geometry and combinatorial optimization. Below is the official
announcement for these positions, including information on how to apply.
---------------------------------
Four PhD positions on Data Science in the Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science at TU Eindhoven
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven
University of Technology invites applications for four PhD positions in
the area of Data Science, a multi-disciplinary area that relates to many
areas within computer science and mathematics.
Recent technological and societal changes led to an explosion of
digitally available data. Exploiting the available data to its fullest
extent, in order to improve decision making, increase productivity, and
deepen our understanding of scientific questions, is one of today's key
challenges. Data science is an emerging area that aims to address this
challenge. It is a multi-disciplinary area, where computer science and
mathematics play crucial roles. The Graduate Program on Data Science
leverages the presence at the TU/e of excellent research groups in the
data-science area, and to give highly talented students the opportunity
to be educated in and contribute to this exciting area. The positions
are funded by the NWO Graduate Program.
The Graduate Program on Data Science is part of the Data Science Center
Eindhoven (DSC/e), launched in December 2013. It builds on the
excellence of several research groups within the department that
together cover many of the core topics in data science: algorithms,
visualization, data mining, process mining, statistics and probability,
stochastics, operations research, and optimization. This ensures a
stimulating and excellent environment for the selected students.
The professors that are involved and can act as supervisor are:
Wil van der Aalst
http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/~wvdaalst/
Nikhil Bansal
http://www.win.tue.nl/~nikhil/
Mark de Berg
http://www.win.tue.nl/~mdberg/

Bettina Speckmann
http://www.win.tue.nl/~speckman/
Jack van Wijk
http://www.win.tue.nl/~vanwijk/
Gerard Woeginger
http://www.win.tue.nl/~gwoegi/
The projects fall at the intersection of computer science and
mathematics, and are expected to open up promising connections between
these fields. Together with the intended supervisors from the relevant
research group(s), the students will have the opportunity to define
their own research project. The overall aim is to make fundamental
advances in the area of Data Science.
* Job requirements:
Candidates are expected to be fluent in English, both oral and in
writing, and have an excellent background in computer science and/or
(applied) mathematics as evidenced by an MSc degree in preferably
computer science or (applied) mathematics, or possibly econometrics,
operations research, electrical engineering or industrial engineering.
* Terms of employment:
PhD candidates are appointed as temporary university employees for a
four-year period (based on an initial one-year contract, with a
three-year extension after a positive evaluation as to whether the
research is expected to result in a PhD degree after four years).
The terms of employment are governed by the Collective Labor Agreement
of Universities in The Netherlands, with a monthly salary starting at
2083 Euro in the first year, and increasing to 2664 Euro in the fourth
year, and an additional 8% holiday allowance and 8% end-of-year bonus.
