DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer 
Science, based at Rutgers University, invites applications for 
postdoctoral positions associated with the Center.


DIMACS will have four positions available:


a) DIMACS - Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) Postdoc. This is a two 
year postdoctoral associateship with the first year (2020-2021) spent at 
DIMACS, and the second year (2021-2022) spent at IAS in Princeton. There 
is a requirement to teach one course during the first year. Applicants 
should be recent PhDs with interest in theoretical computer science 
and/or discrete mathematics. Research areas include but are not limited 
to: computational complexity, algorithms, optimization, cryptography, 
combinatorics, graph theory, and discrete probability. For this postdoc, 
applicants must apply both to DIMACS and IAS.


b) Economics and Computation Research area of Artificial Intelligence 
Postdoc, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science at 
Rutgers University. This is a one-year position with the possibility of 
renewal. Topics include but are not limited to: algorithmic game theory, 
auctions, crowdsourcing, information elicitation, machine learning in 
economics, mechanism/market design, and prediction markets. Applicants 
should be recent PhD graduates in computer science, economics, 
information science, operations research, or a related field, preferably 
with a focus in artificial intelligence or theory.


c) DATA-INSPIRE Postdoc. This position is in a new transdisciplinary 
(TRIPODS) Institute based at DIMACS on Data Science for INtelligent 
Systems and People Interaction that integrates Computer Science, 
Mathematics, and Statistics with a focus on data science principles and 
the emerging convergence of humans with machines. Applicants should be 
recent PhDs in computer science, math, or statistics, with a 
demonstrated interest in working across these disciplines.


d) Simons A&G Postdoc.  This is a one- or two-year position, part of the 
Simons Collaboration on Algorithms and Geometry, which aims to address 
fundamental questions at the interface of mathematics and theoretical 
computer science. Applicants should be recent PhDs with interest in 
theoretical computer science and/or discrete mathematics. Research areas 
include but are not limited to: computational complexity, algorithms, 
optimization, cryptography, combinatorics, graph theory, and discrete 
probability.


All positions provide salary, health benefits, and an allowance for 
domestic travel.


Applicants should provide a cover letter specifying which postdoctoral 
position(s) they are applying for, a curriculum vitae, a research 
statement highlighting their past and planned future research, 
optionally a teaching statement, and the names & email addresses of 
three references.


DIMACS is a consortium of several universities (Rutgers, Columbia, 
Georgia Tech, NJIT, Princeton, RPI, and Stevens) and corporate research 
labs (AT&T, Avaya, IBM, Microsoft, NEC, Nokia, and Perspecta). Research 
and education areas at DIMACS include algorithms, combinatorics, 
complexity, privacy and security, discrete and computational geometry, 
optimization, graph theory, data science, artificial intelligence, and 
machine learning, with applications in sustainability, epidemiology, 
genetics, networks, transportation, security, and economics. Many DIMACS 
activities relate to specific topics of current interest represented by 
the DIMACS Special Focus programs. Postdoctoral Associates at DIMACS are 
encouraged to collaborate with DIMACS members and visitors and to 
participate in all of the research and educational activities of DIMACS.


We believe that research and society benefit from a diverse workplace, 
and strongly encourage applications from women, minorities, individuals 
with disabilities, veterans, and students with non-traditional backgrounds.
