The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center invites applications for its 1998-1999 Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in mathematical and computer sciences. This fellowship provides scientists of outstanding ability an opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident department members at the Research Center. The department provides an atmosphere in which basic research is combined with experience on technical problems arising in industry. The program of the Mathematical Sciences Department is organized for research in pure and applied mathematics, and in theoretical and exploratory computer science. On-going research in the department includes work on sequential and parallel algorithms, computational complexity, coding theory, cryptography, numerical analysis, differential equations, mathematical optimization, high-performance computation, logic design, computer algebra, statistics, dynamical systems, continuous complexity, computational linguistics, computer music, user interface technology, interactive scientific and technical publishing and knowledge-based systems. Close interaction with permanent department members is expected, but fellows will be free to pursue their own research interest.
Each candidate must have a doctorate and not more than five years of postdoctoral professional experience when the fellowship commences. The fellowship has a period of one year, and may be extended by another year on mutual agreement. The stipend will be $70,000 per year, depending on experience. In addition, there will be an allowance for moving expenses. The Research Center is located in Westchester County, approximately forty miles north of New York City.
To apply, please submit the following by January 9, 1998: resume, including thesis summary; reprints of publications based on thesis and other research; a research proposal; and visa status. Citizens of countries defined as restricted by the U.S. Department of Commerce are required to have a green card or an equivalent visa status. Please indicate where you first learned about the fellowship. Applicants are responsible for requesting that three or more letters of reference, including one from the thesis advisor, arrive before January 9, 1998. Direct all material to:
