[DMANET] postdoctoral fellowship available in algorithms and optimization

Applications from outstanding candidates are invited for a
postdoctoral fellowship in algorithm design and optimization at the
University of Lethbridge. The research will broadly target the
development of advanced algorithms to solve challenging problems in
communication networks, facility location and discrete optimization.
The position is for one year, but may be extended for up to a second
year, subject to the availability of funds. The preferred start date
for the fellowship is on or before April 1, 2014.

The fellow will join the Optimization Research Group in the
Mathematics and Computer Science Department. The group consists of
faculty and graduate students at the masters and PhD level whose
research areas include telecommunication, transportation and
logistics, scientific computation, and bioinformatics. The group
members work in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere and maintain strong
research collaborations within the group, across Canada and
internationally.

Applicants should have a PhD degree in Computer Science or a related
field, obtained in the last five years. Extensions are considered in
case of maternity leave or other special circumstances. Proof of
degree completion must be provided prior to the start date of the
fellowship.

To apply, please submit a letter of intention, a CV, a research
statement, the contact information for three referees, and a sample of
your publications, to the e-mail address below. Please use the subject
"PDF application" in your e-mail. Applications are accepted until the
position is filled. Applications received by January 31, 2014 will
receive full consideration.

Lethbridge is located in Southern Alberta, Canada, close to the border
with the province of British Columbia. It is only 1.5 hours drive from
the Rockies and the Waterton Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World
Heritage site.
