[Opt-Net] 2017-2018 IBM Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mathematical Sciences

[Krzysztof Onak]

The Mathematical Sciences department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson 
Research Center invites applications for its 2017-2018 Herman Goldstine 
Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in the mathematical and 
computer sciences. The fellowship provides scientists of outstanding 
ability an opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident 
department members at the Research Center. The Research Center is 
located in Westchester County, less than an hour north of New York City.

The department provides an atmosphere in which basic research is 
combined with work on technical problems arising in industry. Our 
permanent members, academic visitors, and post-doctoral fellows pursue 
research in pure and applied mathematics and in theoretical and 
exploratory computer science. Areas of research include: algorithms 
(approximation, randomized, and on-line); complex systems; data mining 
(machine learning, pattern recognition, computational statistics); 
dynamical systems; high-performance computing (scientific computing, 
parallel computing, big-data); inverse problems; numerical analysis; 
optimization (discrete, continuous, global and stochastic); operations 
research; probability theory (stochastic models, risk management, queues 
& queuing networks, simulation); and statistics (time-series, 
multivariate analysis, spatiotemporal analysis, design of experiments & 
reliability).

Close interaction with permanent department members is expected and 
encouraged, but fellows are free to pursue their own research interests.

Up to two fellowships will be awarded. Candidates must have received a 
Ph.D. degree after September 2012 or should expect to receive one before 
the fellowship commences in the second half of 2017 (usually in 
September). The fellowship has a period of one year, and may be extended 
another year by mutual agreement. The stipend is expected to be between 
$105,000 and $130,000, depending on the length of experience. An 
additional allowance for moving expenses will be provided.
