[DMANET] Postdoc ad

Postdoctoral research position, Ryerson University

A postdoctoral research fellow position in the Department of Mathematics at
Ryerson University is available in the area of Graph Theory, starting July
1, 2010. This position provides an opportunity to engage in research in
mathematics, with a limited amount of teaching, and is suited for talented

mathematicians who have recently completed their Ph.D. The salary is
competitive, with funding provided for a year and with potential for renewal
for a second year.

The applicant should have a PhD in Mathematics or Computer Science. The
ideal candidate would have expertise in one or more of the areas of complex
networks (such as the web graph or on-line social networks), random graphs,
vertex pursuit games (such as Cops and Robbers), infinite graphs, or graph
homomorphisms. The position is open to candidates of any nationality and
selection will be based upon the candidate's research record and potential.
Knowledge or experience with programming is a plus. As the applicant will
normally teach, some teaching experience is preferred.

Applicants should provide a cover letter, updated curriculum vitae, and at
least three letters of recommendation. At least one of these letters should
report on the candidate's teaching abilities.
