Postdoctoral Position Open

A postdoctoral fellow position  is available immediately in the general 
area of distributed algorithms, networks, and Big Data algorithms, in 
the Department of Computer Science, University of Houston, Houston, USA.

Under the supervision of  Prof. Gopal Pandurangan 
(http://www.cs.uh.edu/~gopal), the postdoctoral researcher will have an 
opportunity to work in the area of designing and analyzing cutting-edge 
distributed algorithms for fundamental problems and  their applications. 
   Experience in prior work in algorithms as evidenced by publications 
in top  algorithms and theory  conferences is preferred. In particular, 
a track record in distributed algorithms and computing will be a plus. 
All recent Ph.D.s (or those close to finishing) who work in theoretical 
computer science with a focus on one or more of the following areas are 
encouraged to apply: randomized/probabilistic algorithms, distributed 
algorithms/computing, approximation algorithms, network algorithms, 
communication complexity, and other related areas in algorithms. All 
candidates with publication record in theory and algorithms (e.g., SODA, 
FOCS, STOC, PODC, SPAA, DISC) are encouraged to apply.

Initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of renewal 
for an additional year based on performance and availability of funds. 
Salaries are competitive and are determined according to  the successful 
applicants' accomplishments, experience and qualifications. Travel 
funding is available.

(request referees to forward) three letters of recommendation to Gopal 
Pandurangan (gopalpandurangan at gmail.com). Review of applicants will 
begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

University of Houston is a major research university located in Houston, 
the fourth largest city in USA, and has one of the most vibrant 
metropolitan areas.  Houston is the epicenter of the energy industry, 
features the largest medical center in the world, and hosts the Johnson
