[DMANET] PIMS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Combinatorics at the University of Victoria

Dr. Peter Dukes, Dr. Natasha Morrison and Dr. Jonathan Noel are seeking candidates in the area of combinatorics to nominate for a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) to be held at the University of Victoria in Canada. If the nomination is successful, then the salary will be at least $60,000 CAD per year. All nominees will also be considered automatically for a PIMS-Simons Postdoctoral Fellowship, which provides additional salary support to selected outstanding candidates. The fellowship is for one year and is renewable, contingent on satisfactory progress, for an additional year. The starting date is flexible, between August 1, 2027 and January 1, 2028; other starting dates require approval from the PIMS Postdoctoral Committee. Applications should be submitted through mathjobs at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/29344 by November 10, 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for interviews in November. Candidates selected for nomination will then be directed to submit their application to PIMS for the second stage of the process before December 1, 2026. Informal inquiries can be made by e-mail to Peter Dukes (dukes@uvic.ca), Natasha Morrison (nmorrison@uvic.ca) and Jonathan Noel (noelj@uvic.ca). The University of Victoria has a thriving Discrete Mathematics Group, with an active community of faculty, adjunct professors, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate research students, and a weekly seminar. We strongly value the experiences and qualities that people from diverse backgrounds bring to the group. As such, we particularly encourage applications from members of groups underrepresented in mathematics.

The proceedings of past SIROCCO conferences can be found at https://link.springer.com/conference/sirocco. *=====================================* *Scope* *=====================================* Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local structural knowledge and global communication and computational complexities. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include the following (in alphabetical order). - Biological and nature-inspired distributed algorithms - Blockchains and related distributed paradigms - Distributed algorithms and computability - Distributed graph algorithms - Distributed quantum computing - Epistemic modeling and analysis of distributed systems - Fault tolerance - Formal verification of distributed systems - Game theory in distributed computing - Mobile agents and autonomous distributed systems - Network modeling and analysis - Security in distributed computing - Self-stabilization - Shared-memory algorithms - Structural and communication complexity analysis - Topology in distributed computing - Wireless, ad-hoc, and peer-to-peer networks Keeping with the tradition of SIROCCO, submissions on new areas related to the general scope of the conference are also welcome. *=====================================* *Submission Instructions* *=====================================* Submissions must report on original research and contain results that have not appeared previously in a regular conference paper and that have not been concurrently submitted to or previously published in a journal or a conference with published proceedings. *Submission format.* Manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format using EasyChair. Submissions must be written in English and formatted in a single-column format on US letter-size or A4 paper, use at least 11-point font, and have at least 2.5 cm margins. *Submission length. *All submissions must start with a cover page, which will include the paper’s title, a short abstract, and, preferably, keywords. There is no page limit, and authors are encouraged to submit the full version of their paper. The submission should contain, within the first 12 pages (excluding the cover page and bibliographic references), a concise and clear presentation of the primary content and merits of the work. Content beyond the cover page, references, and the first 12 pages will be read at the discretion of the reviewers only. A submission that is not accepted as a full paper may be invited as a brief announcement. *Double-blind reviewing. *SIROCCO 2027 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way (e.g., author names, affiliations, email addresses, and funding information should not appear in the submission). However, authors are free to disseminate draft versions of their submissions as they normally would (e.g., by posting drafts on the web). Questions about the double-blind reviewing process may be directed to the PC chair by email. *Submission website.* Paper submissions will be handled by EasyChair, so please make sure that you have an active account. Papers must be submitted electronically at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sirocco2027.

Authors may use AI tools for limited purposes such as language editing (e.g., fixing typos or improving grammar) without the need for disclosure. Any other use of AI tools (including LLMs) must be clearly disclosed in the submission in an AI-disclosure section, and authors must specify which tool was used and for what purpose. Any undisclosed use of AI tools, or inaccurate representation of AI-generated or AI-modified content, may lead to rejection of the submission or further action. *AI policy for reviewers. *Reviewers may use LLM-based tools to assist with the review process, provided that the confidentiality of the content of the submissions is preserved. However, the review itself must be written solely by the reviewer and must not be drafted, generated, or rewritten with the assistance of AI tools. Reviewers must rely on their own judgment and retain full responsibility for the content and conclusions of their reviews. *=====================================* *Proceedings* *=====================================* The proceedings of SIROCCO 2027 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

[DMANET] Two postdoctoral positions at Leipzig University

Dear colleagues, We are advertising two postdoctoral positions at the Institute of Mathematics of Leipzig University - one under supervision of James Davies and one under supervision of Dan Kráľ. The research focus of the positions is flexible and all candidates working in relevant areas of combinatorics are encouraged to apply. The Institute of Mathematics provides a vibrant research environment, which, in the area of algebra and discrete mathematics, offers collaboration opportunities with Sofia Brenner, Łukasz Grabowski, Tobias Finis, and their postdocs and students. In addition, there are extensive opportunities for collaboration with researchers based at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI-MiS). The successful candidate will benefit from generous travel and visitor funding provided through the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship held by Dan Kráľ. Since one of the two positions will be funded by the university, the proficiency in German would be a strong advantage (because of the involvement in teaching). Starting date: Second half of 2027 or first half of 2028 Length of contract: 2 years Remuneration: Fixed in accordance to the TV-L E13 scale Application deadline: November 8, 2026 Applications should consist of a cover letter (including contact details of three referees who may be asked for recommendation letters) and a CV containing a full list of publications and should be submitted via e-mail to Jean-Marc Mues <jean-marc.mues@uni-leipzig.de> before the deadline noted above. All applications will be automatically considered for both positions that have been advertised.
