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 should be received by *May 8, 2020* in order to 
receive full consideration.

Best regards,

Ben Seamone & Geňa Hahn
