I-CORE IN ALGORITHMS POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAM
---------------------------------------------------------------
We are seeking excellent candidates for postdoctoral positions at the
I-CORE ALGO (Israeli center of research excellence in algorithms)
institutes. The positions are supported by the Israeli Science Foundation
(ISF).
The Israeli Center of Research Excellence in Algorithms is part of the
I-CORE program, initiated by the Government of Israel and adopted by
Israel's Council of Higher Education, in order to reinforce Israel's
intellectual capacities and promote synergy among Israel's leading research
centers. The institutes participating in the center are:
* The Blavatnik School of Computer Science, TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY
* The Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science and
Engineering, THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM,
* Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, WEIZMANN INSTITUTE OF
SCIENCE.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): all variety of
algorithms (optimization, online, streaming, approximation, randomized,
geometric and more), cryptography, security and privacy, algorithmic game
theory, quantum computing, networking and distributed computing, databases,
machine learning and computer vision.
To apply please send the following
to icorealgo@cs.tau.ac.il (deadline: 22/12/16)
-A CV of the applicant including the list of publications.
-A short research statement.
-The preferable I-CORE ALGO fellow to work with (if already known) and
institution in I-CORE ALGO. (There is a possibility of more than one fellow
and/or institution.)
-In addition, all applicants should ensure that their recommenders email
their letters (as pdf files) to the email address above, with the subject
line "<candidate_name>: recommendation". (It is the
applicant's responsibility to ensure that the letters are sent; the
Institute will not solicit letters directly.)
I-CORE IN ALGORITHMS AND THE SIMONS INSTITUTE FOR THE THEORY OF
COMPUTING IN BERKELEY - A JOINT POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I-CORE in Algorithms and the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing
in Berkeley - a joint postdoctoral program
I-CORE Algo – Israeli Center of Research Excellence in algorithms, and
the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing are seeking excellent
candidates for a joint postdoctoral program starting in the academic year
2017-2018.
The Israeli Center of Research Excellence in Algorithms is part of the
I-CORE program, initiated by the Government of Israel and adopted by
Israel's Council of Higher Education, in order to reinforce Israel's
intellectual capacities and promote synergy among Israel's leading research
centers. The members of the center are some of Israel's most exceptional
computer scientists, from The Blavatnik School of Computer Science in Tel
Aviv University, The Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science and
Engineering in The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the Faculty of
Mathematics and Computer Science in Weizmann Institute of Science.
The Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing is a major international
venue for collaborative research in theoretical computer science and
related fields. The Institute is housed in a dedicated building on the UC
Berkeley campus, and acts as a vibrant and welcoming environment for
visiting researchers. In each academic semester the activities of the
Institute are largely focused on specific research programs, each of which
attracts fifty to sixty participants ranging from senior scientists to
graduate students. The Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing was
created in 2012 through a ten-year grant from the Simons Foundation (more
information can be found at: http://simons.berkeley.edu/programs/current).
The joint postdoctoral position would start in Fall 2017. The joint
post-doctoral fellow will first spend a semester (fall 2017) or possibly
two semesters at the Simons Institute, and then will continue at the I-Core
in Algorithms for a semester (or possibly two). The topics of the research
programs for 2017-18 in the Simons Institute are "Bridging Continuous and
Discrete Optimization" (jumbo program, Fall 17), "The Brain and
Computation" (Spring 18) and "Real-Time Decision Making" (Spring 18).
The topics of research in I-CORE in Algorithms include (but are not limited
to): all variety of algorithms (optimization, online, streaming,
approximation, randomized, geometric and more), cryptography, security and
privacy, algorithmic game theory, quantum computing, networking and
distributed computing, databases, machine learning and computer vision. The
research interests of potential candidates should match the research
interests of both institutions.
Salaries and benefits are competitive and assistance with visas and housing
will be provided.
We particularly encourage applications from outstanding women and minority
candidates. In addition, the I-CORE in Algorithms would provide some
support to travel to and from Israel.
In some circumstances, the fellowship maybe be awarded for more than one
year, up to a maximum of two years.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Each applicant should submit the following documents (as pdf files) in a
single email to icorealgo@cs.tau.ac.il.
- cover letter, including current institution and employment status,
(expected) date of PhD, and a statement indicating the Simons Institute
program (or programs) in which you wish to participate, and why. For the
I-CORE Algo please indicate which institute you would like to perform the
research at (can be more than one);
- curriculum vitae, including full list of publications;
- research statement;
- names and email addresses of at least three recommenders.
In addition, all applicants should ensure that their recommenders email
their letters (as pdf files) to the email address above, with the subject
line "<candidate_name>: recommendation". (It is the applicant's
responsibility to ensure that the letters are sent; I-CORE will not solicit
letters directly.)
The deadline for receipt of all application materials, including letters,
is December 22, 2016
