Dear DMANET members,
I currently invite applications for a postdoc position in my working group, starting asap, but the starting date is negotiable.
It is a 100% position (paid according to German TVL 13) with 4 hours per week teaching obligation. If the candidate prefers a part-time position with reduced teaching load, this would also be possible. Teaching may include lectures if the candidate wants to gain experience, but will mainly consist of tutorials (4 hours per week amount to two tutorials per week during the semester; no teaching is done during the long summer break from mid-July to mid-October and from the end of January to early April).
Research in my group is focussed on biomathematics with a special interest in mathematical phylogenetics and population genetics, i.e. evolutionary research from a mathematical perspective. The ideal candidate has a strong background in mathematics and / or theoretical computer science, preferably with some biological pre-knowledge (and, if not, at least a strong interest in biology in general and evolution in particular). Mathematical areas needed for our research include, but are not limited to, graph theory, probability theory, combinatorics and complexity theory. Programming skills in at least one mathematical programming language (such as Mathematica, Maxima, Matlab, Maple or R) are required; additional programming skills are also desirable.
Knowledge of the German language is desirable, but is not a must at first (teaching at the Master's level can be done in English). Greifswald university offers affordable German language courses for researchers. However, the candidate must be proficient in both written and spoken English.
The offer:
- PostDoc position for 2 years with a possible extension if funding permits.
- No pre-set fixed project, i.e. the work focus is negotiable and will be chosen to match the candidate's interests and ideas.
- 4 hours teaching duties per week.
- The application deadline is January 31st 2017 (starting date flexible, but as soon as possible), but the offer will be kept open until a suitable candidate is found.
- A small but highly specialized maths institute with a renowned research focus on biomathematics, located in Greifswald in North-Eastern Germany, directly at the Baltic Sea with lots of nearby beaches and generally good living quality.
For more information, do not hesitate to contact me: mareike.fischer@uni-greifswald.de or to read the official job offer online (in German): https://www.uni-greifswald.de/universitaet/information/stellenausschreibungen/oeffentliche-stellenausschreibungen/wissenschaftliches-personal/institut-fuer-mathematik-und-informatik-16sa34/
Please send your applications electronically to mareike.fischer@uni-greifswald.de IN A SINGLE PDF FILE and refer to job number 16/SA34.
Best wishes,
Mareike Fischer

CALL FOR PAPERS
CEC 2017 Special Session on
Theoretical Foundations of Bio-inspired Computation
June 5 - 8, 2015, Donostia - San Sebastian, Spain
*** Paper submission deadline: January 16, 2017 ***
Website: https://hpi.de//friedrich/conf/cec2017.html
=================
TCS Special Issue
=================
Selected papers will be invited to a *special issue* of the journal of
Theoretical Computer Science.
==========
Motivation
==========
Bio-inspired search heuristics often turn out to be highly successful
for optimization in practice. The theory of these randomized search
heuristics explains the success or the failure of these methods in
practical applications. Theoretical analyses lead to the understanding
of which problems are optimized (or approximated) efficiently by a
given algorithm and which are not.
The benefits of theoretical understanding for practitioners are
threefold.
1. Aiding the algorithm design,
2. guiding the choice of the best algorithm for the problem at
hand,
3. determining the optimal parameter settings.
The theory of evolutionary computation has grown rapidly in recent
years. The primary aim of this special session is to bring together
people working on theoretical aspects of bio-inspired computation. The
latest breakthroughs in the theory of bio-inspired computation will be
reported and new directions will be set.
=====
Scope
=====
Potential authors are invited to submit papers describing original
contributions to the foundations of evolutionary computation. Although we
are most interested in theoretical foundations, computational studies
of a foundational nature are also welcome.
The scope of this special session includes (but is not limited to) the
following topics:
* Theoretical foundations of bio-inspired heuristics
* Exact and approximation runtime analysis
* Black box complexity
* Self-adaptation
* Population dynamics
* Fitness landscape and problem difficulty analysis
* No free lunch theorems
* Statistical approaches for understanding the behavior of
bio-inspired heuristics
* Computational studies of a foundational nature
All problem domains will be considered including:
* combinatorial and continuous optimization
* single‐objective and multi‐objective optimization
* constraint handling
* dynamic and stochastic optimization
* co‐evolution and evolutionary learning
================
Paper Submission
================
To submit to the special session:
1. prepare your manuscript following the IEEE CEC 2017 paper
submission guidelines (see http://www.cec2017.org),
2. submit your manuscript electronically in the CEC 2017 system:
http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/cec2017/upload.php,
3. *IMPORTANT* On the submission system you must select
"SS31. Theoretical Foundations of Bio-inspired Computation"
as "Main Research Topic".
Special session papers are treated in the same way as regular
conference papers.
