DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer 
Science, based at Rutgers University, invites applications for a 
transdisciplinary DATA-INSPIRE postdoc

The DATA-INSPIRE Postdoc is in a new transdisciplinary (TRIPODS) 
Institute based at DIMACS on Data Science for INtelligent Systems and 
People Interaction that involves faculty from 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.

TRIPODS (Transdisciplinary Research In Principles Of Data Science) is a 
National Science Foundation program that supports the development of 
collaborative Institutes that bring together the disciplines of 
mathematics, statistics, and theoretical computer science and emphasize 
the theoretical foundations of data science.

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.

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.

Experience: This position is intended for a person who has completed a 
Ph.D. in Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Operations Research 
or a related field within the last three years.

Knowledge/Skills/Abilities: Selection is based primarily on demonstrated 
technical excellence within the relevant areas of mathematics, 
statistics, theoretical computer science, data science, AI, and related 
fields.

Special Instructions to Applicants: Applications are due April 5 for 
full consideration. Applicants should provide a cover letter, a 
curriculum vitae, a research statement highlighting their current, past 
and planned future research, and the names/e-mail addresses of three 
references. The formal application can be made at
