Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo, Brazil,
invites applications for a postdoc fellowship in the context of the
project "Optimization Methods for Extremal Geometry", which is a part
of FAPESP project 13/03447-6 "Combinatorial structures, optimization,
and algorithms in theoretical Computer Science".
We are looking for candidates with a strong background in areas such
as combinatorial optimization, semidefinite programming, discrete
geometry, graph theory, and combinatorics, but more so than specific
knowledge in any of these areas, we will be looking at the depth of
the applicant's research and his/her proficiency in applying
optimization methods. No teaching is involved.
The salary is BRL 5,908.80/month, tax-free. For those living outside
of São Paulo, the flight will be reimbursed, and a further salary is
given for moving costs. There is also an allowance of BRL 10,634.40
per year for travel and other costs related to the project. The
fellowship is granted for a period of 12 months, which can be extended
for a further 12 months based on performance.
Candidates must have obtained their PhD degrees in the past 7 years.
The start date is August 1st, 2014 (negotiable).
Deadline for application: June 15th, 2014.
Applications should consist of (1) a Curriculum Vitae including a
publications list; (2) a research statement (max. 5 pages) detailing
past research and including future research directions; (3) names and
emails of 3 references. The application should be sent AS A SINGLE PDF
