2015-2016 IBM Herman Goldstine Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Mathematical Sciences

The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research
Center invites applications for its 2015-2016 Herman Goldstine Memorial
Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in mathematical and computer
sciences. Areas of active research in the department include: algorithms,
complex systems, data mining, dynamical systems, high-performance
computing, inverse problems, numerical analysis, optimization, probability
theory, statistics, simulation and operations management.

Candidates must have received a Ph.D. after September 2010, or should
expect to receive one before the fellowship commences in the second half
of 2015 (usually in September). Up to two fellowships will be awarded
with a stipend between $95,000 and $120,000 (depending on experience).

Applications must be received between November 10, 2014 and January 16,

Ural Federal University (Ekaterinburg, Russia) launches a postdoc
program. Among 20 postdoc positions to be filled at least two are
planned to be associated with CoMiCS (the Center of Mathematics
in Computer Science) at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer
Science.

Ural Federal University is the largest Russian university outside
Moscow. It is located in the downtown of Ekaterinburg, the capital
of the Urals and the fourth-largest city in Russia. The Center of
Mathematics in Computer Science is a recently created Center
of Excellence that is led jointly by Professor Mikhail Volkov
(http://csseminar.imkn.urfu.ru/volkov/ ) and Professor Arseny
Shur (http://kadm.imkn.urfu.ru/pages.php?id=shureng ) and
involves several active younger scientists. Currently, the main
topics of CoMiCS are automata, combinatorics on words and
formal languages but we are especially interested in applicants
whose expertise might broaden the research spectrum of the
center within other areas of Theoretical Computer Science.

The appointment is for one year (with possible extension depending
on funding) and starting date in yearly 2015 is negotiable. The starting
salary is roughly 20.000 Euro per year (before tax); in addition, the
university provides free housing and some travel support. There are
no obligatory teaching duties but those who will want to give a lecture
course on her/his favorite topic (in English), will be very welcome to do
so.

An ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or in
Discrete Mathematics obtained after 2007, and should have a strong
publication record in top journals and conferences. Applicants should
provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and at least two letters of
recommendation. Applicants should apply no later than Dec 1, 2014,
and the positions will remain open until filled. Application material
and reference letters will be submitted by e-mail to Mrs Ekaterina
Neznakhina at eneznakhina@yandex.ru.

We appreciate all replies to this advertisement, but only applicants
under consideration will be contacted.

*CALL FOR PAPERS LAGOS'15 - VIII Latin-American Algorithms, Graphs and
Optimization Symposium*


* Praia das Fontes, Beberibe, Brazil May 11-15, 2015 *

http://www.lia.ufc.br/lagos2015 - lagos2015@lia.ufc.br
<http://www.lia.ufc.br/lagos2015/lagos2015@lia.ufc.br>


*Important dates*

- Submissions deadline: *November 23, 2014 (Deadline Extended)*
- Notification of acceptance/rejection: *February 03, 2015*
- Registration openning: *February 06, 2015*
- Conference dates: *May 11-15, 2015*

*About the conference*

LAGOS (the Latin-American Algorithms, Graphs, and Optimization Symposium),
is the merging of two Latin-American Conferences on these subjects: GRACO
(Brazilian Symposium on Graphs, Algorithms, and Combinatorics) and LACGA
(Latin-American Conference on Combinatorics, Graphs, and Applications). The
previous editions were held in Fortaleza, Brazil (GRACO 2001
<http://www.lia.ufc.br/symp2001/>), Santiago, Chile (LAGCA 2004
<http://www.dii.uchile.cl/~lacga04/>), Angra dos Reis, Brazil (GRACO 2005
<http://www.ime.usp.br/graco2005/>), Puerto Varas, Chile (LAGOS 2007
<http://www.dii.uchile.cl/~lagos07/>), Gramado, Brazil (LAGOS 2009
<http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/lagos09/>), Bariloche, Argentina (LAGOS 2011
<http://www-2.dc.uba.ar/lagos2011/>), and Playa del Carmen, Mexico (LAGOS
2013 <http://xamanek.izt.uam.mx/LAGOS2013>).

*Conference themes*

Themes include, but are not limited to, the following AMS classifications:

*Algorithms:* analysis of algorithms; approximation algorithms; randomized
algorithms; computational geometry.
*Operations Research and Mathematical Programming:* combinatorial
optimization; integer programming; polyhedral combinatorics; operations
research and management science.
*Graph Theory:* cliques, dominating and independent sets; coloring of
graphs and hypergraphs; covering and packing, factorization, matching;
digraphs, tournaments; graph algorithms; graphs and matrices; hypergraphs;

graphs.
*Applications:* mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization,
continuous optimization, heuristics, and metaheuristics, applied to
real-world problems.

*Instructions for Submissions*

*Extended abstracts.* Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in
English (up to 6 pages), containing original research results. The authors
are fully responsible of convincing the referees of the correctness and
interest of their results using only those six pages. Authors can add an
optional appendix with proofs, sketches of proofs, or additional material.
If included, the appendix will be read at the discretion of the Scientific
Committee and it is expected that it will only be used to reach a decision
for very unusual cases. The appendix has no page limit, and since it will
not be published, it cannot be referenced in the extended abstract.
Submission of a paper implies that the work described has not been
previously published (except in the form of a short abstract or as part of
a lecture or academic thesis), that it is not simultaneously submitted
elsewhere, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the
same form. A special volume of Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics
(ENDM) will be dedicated to accepted extended abstracts. The extended
abstracts must comply with the ENDM LaTeX style and are limited to 6 pages,
including the front matter, text, and references. Instructions for
submission preparation may be obtained in the ENDM web page (
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/endm). Once prepared, the paper should be
submitted by means of the Easy Chair system (
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2015).

*Posters.* Submissions of posters on all areas related to the symposium are
also solicited. Posters must also be submitted for review in the form of an
extended abstract formatted in the ENDM style (
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/endm), and must not exceed 2 pages in
length. Posters should also be submitted via the Easy Chair System (
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2015). Accepted posters
will NOT appear in the ENDM special volume, but they will appear in the
symposium's booklet. Posters will be presented at the symposium in a
separate session.

Following the tradition of LAGOS, a special issue of Discrete Applied
Mathematics will be prepared after LAGOS'15. All authors of accepted papers
at the symposium are invited to contribute to this special volume. The
topics should relate to the central themes of the symposium, but are not
necessarily restricted to the presentations at LAGOS'15. All articles will
be refereed according to the standards of Discrete Applied Mathematics.
