[DMANET] Postdoctoral Fellowship in graph theory at Universite de Montreal

The Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at the
University of Montreal (Departement d'informatique et de recherche
operationnelle, Universite de Montreal) invites applications for a
postdoctoral fellowship in graph theory for the 2021-22 academic year.


*The research team*

The graph theory research group at the University of Montreal is led by
Prof. Gena Hahn and Dr. Ben Seamone. The primary interests of the group
are, broadly speaking, graph structure, graph colouring, games on graphs,
and infinite graphs.


*Requirements*


- Candidates must hold a Ph.D. obtained within 5 years of the position's
start date, in either theoretical computer science or mathematics. This
includes applicants who have not yet obtained their degree but are certain
to finish before the position's start date.
- Fluent English is a requirement for the position. Note that the
Universite de Montreal is a francophone institution, so a working knowledge
of French is an asset.
- Research experience, as evidenced by a history of relevant
publications, is expected.

*The position*

- The successful candidate will have the opportunity to further
establish their own research program, and will also be expected to
collaborate with other members of the research group on theirs.
- Co-supervision of undergraduate and/or graduate students is
anticipated.
- No teaching responsibilities are included with the position.

*Conditions*

The appointment is for a period of 12 months at a salary competitive with
other postdoctoral fellowships in Canada and includes employment benefits
(pension, employment insurance, etc). Extensions beyond this time period
are subject to available funds but are not anticipated to be likely at this
time. In order to facilitate research collaborations and/or presentation
of results at conferences/colloquia, travel support may be provided
(subject to travel restrictions). The start date is negotiable and subject
to travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we hope that the
position will begin as close to September 1, 2021 as possible.

*Application Process*

Universite de Montreal is strongly committed to fostering diversity and
inclusion. Through its Equal Access Employment Program, UdeM invites
applications from women, Aboriginal people, visible and ethnic minorities,
as well as persons with disabilities. We will - confidentially - adapt our
recruitment mechanisms to the specific needs of people with disabilities
who request it. We also welcome applications from candidates of all
orientations and sexual identities.

Applicants should prepare the following materials:


- Full CV
- Research statement of 2-3 pages, which describes the candidate's
research goals and connects them to their past work
- Three (3) reference letters, which should be submitted directly to the
email address below by the referees.

Applications and inquiries should be sent to graphtheory.at.diro@gmail.com.
Complete applications should be received by *March 26, 2021* in order to
receive full consideration.

Best regards,

Ben Seamone & Gena Hahn
