At Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, we (me, and
Profs. Sinai Robins and Le Hai Khoi) received a
grant for a project on the border of polyhedral computation, including
lattice points in polytopes, multi-dimensional moment problem (moments
meant as moments of measures), C-convexity, and numerical computing.
A part of the mathematics involved can be seen in http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5723
We have funding for two (or more) PhD students (4-year fully funded
positions with a stipend), a postdoc (for up to 3 years, minimum
duration of 3 months---i.e. if you can only come for such a relatively
short period, this is still possible to arrange), and a research
associate (for up to 3 years, minimum degree required is a BSc or
equivalent), as well as funding for more senior short-term visitors.
Funding starts in November 2011.
Successful applicants should have background in at least one
of topics mentioned above,
and (ideally) have interest and/or experience in
developing software packages related to these topics (preferably using
open-source systems, ideally Python and/or Sage).
Please send applications to me (Dmitrii Pasechnik
<dimpase@gmail.com>), cc to Sinai Robins <sinai.robins@gmail.com>.
PhD applications will go through the usual NTU admission procedure.

Please distribute this among potentially interested people, and
re-post to relevant lists.
Thanks,
