Lugano

The Faculty of Informatics at the Università della Svizzera italiana
(USI), Lugano, Switzerland, http://www.inf.usi.ch/, invites
applications for a PhD position in the area of algorithms, computational
geometry, spatial decompositions, Voronoi diagrams and applications. The
position is related to the SNF/D.A.CH collaborative project VORONOI++
that already supports another PhD student.

Applicants should have or be close to obtaining a Masters degree in
Computer Science, or related areas, and have an affinity with
algorithms. The ideal candidate should have a keen interest and a strong
background in theoretical computer science, design and analysis of
algorithms, or discrete mathematics. Experience in computational
geometry is most welcome but it is not required. Good programming skills
is a plus. Fluency in English is required.

The selected candidate, together with the USI group on geometric
algorithms http://compgeom.inf.usi.ch/ will perform research related to
all aspects of generalized Voronoi diagrams. Research will focus on the
design and analysis of efficient algorithms, combinatorial issues,
possibly also on application or implementation issues. Voronoi diagrams
are among the most fundamental structures in computational geometry and
they have proved to be powerful tools in solving diverse and seemingly
unrelated computational problems.

Interested candidates should apply by May 15 (with some flexibility, but
please send a notification that you plan to apply as soon as possible,
preferably by May 1st). The Faculty application procedure is described
in
http://www.inf.usi.ch/presentazionetudiare/container_education_phd/dottorato_regolamenti.htm.

The gross salary is roughly 50.000 CHF per year. For further information
please contact Professor Evanthia Papadopoulou, e-mail:
evanthia.papadopoulou@usi.ch, http://www.inf.usi.ch/faculty/papadopoulou/.

The research topics are devoted to all mathematical aspects of algorithmic
optimization with an emphasis on applications, in particular in large and
big data as well as systems models from economics. The doctoral research
positions do not involve teaching duties.

At the time of hiring, the applicants must hold a MSc degree (or equivalent)
in mathematics or a strongly related field. They should be able to communicate
in English and document their interest in the scientific goals of the research
program of the Research Training Group. Excellent programming skills are a plus.

Applications should include:

* letter of motivation (no longer than 2 pages)
* curriculum vitae
* a recent letter of reference (in English or German) to be sent directly
to the address given below
* contact information of at least one additional reference
* copies of degrees earned (in German or English translation)
* a mathematical writing sample (preferably the master thesis)

Applications from researchers of all nationalities are welcome. Trier University
strives to increase the share of women in research and strongly encourages women
to apply. Trier University is certified as a family-friendly employer. Provided
equal qualifications are demonstrated, applicants with disabilities will be
preferred.

Please compile all application materials into one pdf or zip-file and send it
via e-mail to:

Graduiertenkolleg ALOP
Mathematik - FB IV Universität Trier
54286 Trier, Germany
Email: alop@uni-trier.de
Subject: RTG ALOP

For full consideration, applications must be received no later than Friday, May 6, 2016;
however, late applications may be considered until the positions are filled.

Research Fellow position in Optimisation at the University of Melbourne
Full-time (fixed-term) position available for 2 years
Level B - $92,654 - $110,022 p.a. plus employer superannuation contributions of up to 9.5%
Close date: 11 May 2016

The appointee will work in the Network Design and Optimisation group, which spans three departments at the University of Melbourne: the School of Mathematics and Statistics, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. This group specialises in the mathematical, graph theoretical and algorithmic aspects of optimisation problems occurring in telecommunications, mining and infrastructure networks. The primary function of the appointee will be to conduct fundamental mathematical research on the optimal design of survivable and obstacle avoiding networks. A successful outcome will consist of a deeper understanding of the mathematical structure of optimal networks, and efficient new algorithms and heuristics for network construction.

Online applications are preferred. Go to http://jobs.unimelb.edu.au/caw/en/job/887937/research-fellow-in-optimisation.
