The Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at the 
University of Montreal (Departement d'informatique et de recherche 
operationnelle, Universite de Montreal) invites applications for a 
postdoctoral fellowship in graph theory for the 2021-22 academic year.


*The research team*

The graph theory research group at the University of Montreal is led by 
Prof. Gena Hahn and Dr. Ben Seamone.  The primary interests of the group 
are, broadly speaking, graph structure, graph colouring, games on 
graphs, and infinite graphs.


*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 
Universite de Montreal 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 also 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 
may be provided (subject to travel restrictions). The start date is 
negotiable and subject to travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 
pandemic, but we hope that the position will begin as close to September 
1, 2021 as possible.

*Application Process*

Universite de Montreal is strongly committed to fostering diversity and 
inclusion. Through its Equal Access Employment Program, UdeM invites 
applications from women, Aboriginal people, visible and ethnic 
minorities, as well as persons with disabilities. We will - 
confidentially - adapt our recruitment mechanisms to the specific needs 
of people with disabilities who request it. We also welcome applications 
from candidates of all orientations and sexual identities.

Applicants should prepare the following materials:

- Full CV
- Research statement of 2-3 pages, which describes the candidate's 
research goals and connects them to their past work
- Three (3) reference letters, which should be submitted directly to the 
email address below by the referees.

Applications and inquiries should be sent to graphtheory.at.diro at gmail.com.
Complete applications should be received by *March 26, 2021* in order to
receive full consideration.

Best regards,
