NETWORKS
http://www.thenetworkcenter.nl/

=================================================================

NETWORKS is a 10-year research programme funded by the Dutch Ministry
of Education, Culture and Science through the Netherlands Organisation
for Scientific Research.

The programme will start in the Summer of 2014 and will cover a broad
range of topics dealing with stochastic and algorithmic aspects of
networks. The aim of the programme is to address the pressing challenges
posed by large-scale networks using stochastics and algorithms. The
focus is on modelling, understanding,controlling and optimizing networks
that are complex and highly volatile.

NETWORKS is soliciting applications for
* 7 tenure-track assistant professorships
* 7 postdoc positions
* 14 PhD positions

The NETWORKS postdoc and PhD positions will be distributed over the
seven NETWORKS research projects and the four participating NETWORKS
research institutions
* University of Amsterdam
* Eindhoven University of Technology
* Leiden University
* CWI Amsterdam.

The seven NETWORKS research projects are
* Approximate network methods
* Spatial networks
* Quantum networks
* Dynamics of networks
* Dynamics on networks
* Transportation and traffic networks
* Communication and energy networks

Interested researchers are invited to submit their application using
the forms on the NETWORKS website

http://www.thenetworkcenter.nl/Applications/

preferably by April 15, 2014.
Applications are accepted until all positions are filled.
Female researchers are particularly encouraged to apply.

Subject: [DMANET] MADALGO PhD student and Post Doc positions (Deadline
May 1)
Message-ID: <533DC530.2080901@cs.au.dk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed

Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO), is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located in the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at
Frankfurt University. The center covers all areas of the design,
analysis and implementation of algorithms and data structures for
processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover computations where
data is large compared to the computational resources), with focus on
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See
www.madalgo.au.dk for more information.

Starting August 1, 2014 or later, several positions are available at
MADALGO under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~large), Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~gerth) and Assistant Professor Peyman Afshani
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~peyman):

Several PhD student positions are available. The positions are
administered through Graduate School of Science and Technology at Aarhus
University (talent.au.dk/phd/scienceandtechnology) and include full
tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are
welcomed from students with at least three years of full-time study by
August 2014. Students with a strong background in the design and
analysis of algorithms will be preferred.

One or more MADALGO postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science are also available. Postdoc positions are
initially for one year, but can be extended with an additional year by
mutual consent. MADALGO welcomes postdoctoral researchers with clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in the design and analysis of
algorithms and data structures. Researchers with experience with
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with
implementation of such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience) are
preferred. The responsibilities of MADALGO postdocs include work on
algorithms for massive dataset problems in collaboration with center
researchers, along with modest teaching responsibilities.

The application deadline for both PhD student and postdoc positions is
May 1, 2014. Applicants for PhD student positions should apply using the
Aarhus Graduate School of Science and Technology application system also
accessible from www.madalgo.au.dk. Applicants for postdoc positions
should apply by uploading a letter of interest and a CV, as well as
indicate at least two names of references for recommendations, using the
application form available at www.madalgo.au.dk.

For further information, contact Center Director, Professor Lars Arge at
large@madalgo.au.dk.
