DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, based at Rutgers University, invites applications for postdoctoral positions associated with the Center.DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, invites applications for postdoctoral associate positions for 2025-2027. The postdoc will be mentored by a faculty member at Rutgers or a DIMACS partner institution, and able to participate in the wide variety of activities at DIMACS, while working on an original research program. Topics include but are not limited to artificial intelligence, computing theory (algorithms, complexity), data science, statistics, discrete mathematics (graph theory, combinatorics), game theory, machine learning, optimization, privacy, and security. Activities often address applications in wide-ranging areas, including biology, robotics, cyber & physical security, economics, voting, engineering, ecology, sociology, epidemiology, and sustainability. Applicants should be recent PhD graduates in computer science, mathematics, statistics, economics, information science, operations research, or a related field.Positions provide salary, health benefits, and an allowance for travel.Applicants should provide a cover letter, a research statement highlighting their current, past and planned future research, a teaching statement if intending to teach, and the names/e-mail addresses of three references.DIMACS fosters research and education programs on topics that lie at the interface of discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science and their wide-ranging applications. It was founded as an NSF Science and Technology Center in 1989. DIMACS's partners include Rutgers University, AT&T Labs - Research, Columbia University, Georgia Tech, IBM Research, Microsoft Research, NEC Laboratories America, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Nokia Bell Labs, Peraton Labs, Princeton University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Stevens Institute of Technology.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. Many DIMACS activities relate to specific topics of current interest represented by the DIMACS Special Focus programs. Postdoctoral Associates at DIMACS are encouraged to collaborate with DIMACS members and visitors and to participate in all of the research and educational activities of DIMACS.We are strongly committed to increasing the diversity of our Center. 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.Applications are due December 1, 2024, for full consideration.

DIMACS postdoctoral positions are usually awarded to people who have completed a PhD in computer science, mathematics, statistics, economics, information science, operations research, or a related field within the last three years.

Selection is based primarily on demonstrated technical excellence within the relevant areas of artificial intelligence, computing theory (algorithms, complexity), data science, statistics, discrete mathematics (graph theory, combinatorics), game theory, machine learning, optimization, privacy, and security.

Applicants should provide a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research statement highlighting their current, past and planned future research, a teaching statement if intending to teach, and the names/e-mail addresses of three references. Please note references will receive an email to upload letters of recommendation to the Rutgers University online recruitment system.
