[DMANET] Postdoctoral position at UBC Okanagan (Kelowna, Canada)

A Postdoctoral Fellowship position is available immediately with Dr Yong Gao's group(https://people.ok.ubc.ca/yongg/) at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, Canada. The successful candidate will join a curiosity-driven research project on the computational and algorithmic aspects of various problems arising in Artificial Intelligence and Network Science. We are mainly interested in graph-theoretic characterizations, probabilistic models, and algorithmic solutions for the identified problems, but applications of our approaches to problems in others areas such as brain science, computational biology, social media, and marketing research are also desirable. The initial appointment is for eight months and, depending on the progress of the project and availability of funds, can be extended for up to 18 months.

Candidates must have a recent Ph.D. in computer science (or relevant areas of mathematics) with a strong background and experience in one or more of the following areas: (1) algorithm design; (2) graph theory; or (3) network science/machine learning/data mining. Experience with software development and algorithm implementation is also an asset.

For further information, please contact Dr Yong Gao at yong.gao@ubc.ca<mailto:yong.gao@ubc.ca>. To apply for this position please visit — http://www.hr.ubc.ca/careers-postings/faculty.php (Job Opening ID# 23862)
