[DMANET] postdoc position in optimization

========================================
Postdoctoral position in optimization
Los Alamos National Laboratory
========================================

The Information Sciences group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory has
an opening at a postdoctoral level. The research will involve elements of
mathematical optimization, algorithm design, and software engineering. It
will be a part of a multi-year project on developing optimization
techniques and tools for mapping algorithms onto hardware while optimizing
hardware architecture parameters.

Candidates are expected to have a strong background in optimization and
algorithm design and excellent programming skills. Experience in parallel
computing will be a plus. This is a long-term appointment (up to three
years), so candidates who can commit to a longer time frame will be
preferred. However, candidates available for shorter periods may be
considered for internships.

Qualifications:

(1) An MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or
Mathematics; (2) Background in graph theory, combinatorial algorithm
design, mathematical optimization, or automatic parallelization; (3) Very
strong programming skills; (4) Demonstrated ability to publish research in
peer-reviewed journals or conference proceedings.

Interested candidates should send their resumes including a brief
description of their research interests to Hristo Djidjev,
djidjev@lanl.gov.

US citizenship is NOT required for this position.
