The Geometric, Approximation and Distributed Algorithms (GADA) 
Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science at the University of 
Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, invites applications for the following 
positions:

* Postdoctoral research, duration one to three years, flexible start date
* PhD student, start date September or January each year

Successful candidates will be selected to work on research projects 
supervised by Stephane Durocher, which currently include:

* Algorithms for computing geometric measures of data depth
* Algorithms for computing location estimators of spatio-temporal 
trajectory data

Applicants interested in pursuing research on other projects in 
algorithms, computational geometry, and data structures are also 
encouraged to apply.

Interested applicants with a strong background in theoretical computer 
science should submit the following by email to 
stephane.durocher at umanitoba.ca<mailto:stephane.durocher at umanitoba.ca> :

* an overview of research experience
* a curriculum vitae, including lists of publications, degrees obtained 
and in progress, awards, and scholarships

Successful applicants will be offered the following:

* a competitive salary (for postdoctoral researchers) or stipend (PhD 
students)
* generous financial support for travel to conferences
* a new laptop computer, workspace in and office (for postdoctoral 
researchers) or in the GADA lab (PhD students), and access to a network 
of compute servers
* postdoctoral researchers with a term of twelve months or longer are 
considered full-time employees of the University of Manitoba and are 
provided similar benefits to faculty (supplementary health insurance, 
pension contributions, etc.).

The GADA Lab in the Department of Computer Science at the University of 
Manitoba is a vibrant research group consisting of four faculty members, 
approximately ten MSc and PhD students, and several BSc students 
focusing on research in algorithms. Weekly group research discussions 
are held during the teaching terms, as well as several weekly project 
meetings. Alumni from the GADA Lab now hold faculty positions at various 
universities, as well as positions in industry (e.g., at Google).

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba is a 
dynamic research department, currently consisting of 30 research and 
teaching faculty, with clusters of expertise in algorithms, machine 
learning and computer vision, human-computer interaction, 
bioinformatics, and distributed computing.

The University of Manitoba has approximately 28,000 students and is the 
largest research institute in Manitoba. Established in 1877, it was the 
first university in western Canada. In 2018 the University of Manitoba 
ranked 12th in a ranking of top research universities in Canada (of 
approximately 95 universities in Canada).

With a population of over 778,000, the city of Winnipeg is the cultural 
centre of the Canadian prairie region, with world-class ballet, 
orchestra, museums, music festivals, a wide variety cuisine in 
restaurants, and multiple professional sports teams.
