IBM Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship: Final call for applications

2004-05 Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mathematical Sciences


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 31,
2003. For complete and updated details, including the application
procedure, please visit the following web-site:
