The Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at the
University of Montreal (Département d'informatique et de recherche
opérationnelle, Université de Montréal) invites applications for a
postdoctoral fellowship in graph theory for the 2020-21 academic year.


*The research team*

The graph theory research group at the University of Montreal is led by
Prof. Geňa Hahn and Dr. Ben Seamone.  The primary interests of the group
are, broadly speaking, graph structure, graph colouring, games on graphs,
and infinite graphs.  The current group also includes three graduate
students, two undergraduate students, as well as visitors.


*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
    Université de Montréal 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 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 will also
be provided.  The start date is negotiable and subject to travel
restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we hope that the position
would begin as close to September 1, 2020 as possible.


For further information, you may consult the collective agreement (French

).

*Application Process*

Applicants should prepare the following materials:


    - Full CV
    - Research statement, detailing past contributions, future plans, and
    how these fit with the research interests of the group (2-3 pages)
    - Three (3) reference letters, which should be submitted directly to the
    email address below by the referees.

Applications and inquiries should be sent to diropostdoc2020 at gmail.com.
Complete applications must be received by *April 30, 2020* in order to
receive full consideration.

Best regards,

Ben Seamone & Geňa Hahn
