IBM Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship

2004-2005 IBM Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship 

The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson 
Research Center invites applications for its 2004-2005 Herman Goldstine  
Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in mathematical and computer
sciences. The fellowship provides scientists of outstanding ability an 
opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident department members 
at the Research Center.   The Research Center is located in Westchester 
County, less than an hour north of New York City.

The Mathematical Sciences Department provides an atmosphere in which 
basic research is combined with work on technical problems arising in 
industry. Currently, about 100 permanent members, academic visitors, 
and post-doctoral fellows are pursuing research in pure and applied 
mathematics and in theoretical and exploratory computer science. Areas 
of research include: Algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line);
Coding theory; Cryptography; Data mining (machine learning, pattern 
recognition, and computational statistics); Dynamical systems and 
differential equations; Economics (auctions, decision theory, game theory, 
and experimental economics); High-performance computation (including 
scientific computing and parallel computing); Numerical analysis;
Optimization (discrete, continuous, and stochastic); Probability theory 
(computational finance, queuing, stochastic models,  and risk management);
Statistics (time-series, multivariate analysis, design, and reliability);
Supply-chain and operations management (optimization and performance 
modeling).

Close interaction with permanent department members is expected, but 
fellows are free to pursue their own research interests.

One fellowship will be awarded. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree 
after September 1999 or should expect to receive one before the 
fellowship commences in the second half of 2004. The stipend is expected 
to be between \$87,000 and \$107,000, depending on the area and length 
of experience. 

Applications will be accepted between September 1, 2003 and December 20, 
2003. For complete and updated details, including the application 
procedure, please visit the following web-site:
