One-year postdoctoral position in Nancy

Probabilistic analysis of geometric structures and algorithms

In the context of the Aspag project, we offer a one-year postdoctoral position, to work with Olivier Devillers, and Xavier Goaoc at Inria, Loria, in Nancy.

Topics. We are seeking candidates with a PhD in mathematics or in computer science and interested in working at the frontier between both fields. The project aspag focuses on questions mixing geometric probabilities and discrete and computational geometry. For more details on the Aspag project, see the Aspag project webpage.

Here are some examples of specific topics of interests for this position:

• the simulation of rare random events (for example n points chosen i.i.d. in a disk conditioned on being in convex position),
• the analysis and simulation of random order types,
• the analysis of walking strategies in geometric graphs.

Further collaborations with our other partners of this project will be encouraged and supported.

Application. The position will be open until a suitable candidate is found, but all applications received before February 28th, 2019 are ensured to receive full consideration. Applicants should contact Olivier Devillers by email and provide the following information:

• a CV in pdf, including a publication list and links to the PhD manuscript, publications and preprints if applicable,
• a short letter in pdf, explaining how they fit into the Aspag project and the Gamble team of Inria - Loria,
• names of at least 2 reference letter writers.

Starting date. The date of the beginning of the contract is flexible, between a few months from now and fall 2020.The candidate must have defended their PhD at the beginning of the contract.

Salary. 2133 € or slightly above depending on experience, including health insurance, excluding income taxes.

Duration. We have secured funding for at least one year and an extension can be obtained.
