[DMANET] TCS faculty and postdoc positions in ITCS@SUFE, Shanghai

The Institute for Theoretical Computer Science (ITCS, http://itcs.shufe.edu.cn ) is a newly established academic unit at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE), aimed at creating a world-class environment for research in broad areas of theoretical computer science. Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is a top-ranked research university specializing in economics, finance and business studies. In recent years, SUFE has been earnestly developing fundamental and closely related disciplines besides finance and economics, among which computer science is at the top of its list. ITCS is one of the key priorities of this high-level mission.

Currently, the institute already has five full time faculty members: Pinyan Lu (director), Nick Gravin, Bundit Laekhanukit, Yuan Lin and Zihe Wang, a few affiliated professors from other universities in Shanghai area including Yijia Chen, Xiaotie Deng and others who visit us in a regular base. We also have a team of roughly ten visiting professors including Xiaohui Bei, Jin-Yi Cai, Yang Cai, Jing Chen, Kai-Min Chung, Richard Peng, Lirong Xia, Shengyu Zhang and Yuan Zhou who spend at least one month at the institute each year. More information about the institute can be found in our website http://itcs.shufe.edu.cn

Within roughly five years, we plan to have 8-10 full time faculty members in ITCS. We invite applications from highly-qualified candidates for various position levels in broad areas of theoretical computer science including (but not limited to), Algorithms and Complexity, Algorithmic Game Theory, Machine Learning, Information Theory. Salary and compensation packages are attractive and competitive. Initial appointments are typically made for a six years fixed-term. Subsequent contract renewal, promotion and tenure follow standard international practices. There is no particular deadline for the application.

Besides tenure track faculty positions, each year the institute also offers two research fellowship positions. The appointment will be for two years with an annual salary of 300,000 RMB. More information can be found at http://itcs.shufe.edu.cn/recruitment/ .
