2000-2001 IBM Herman Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Mathematical Sciences.

The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson
Research Center invites applications for its Herman Goldstine Fellowship
for postdoctoral 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 biometrics, coding theory, computational biology,
computational complexity, computational linguistics, computer music,
computer vision, continuous complexity, cryptography, differential
equations, dynamical systems, high-performance computation, interactive
scientific and technical publishing, knowledge-based systems, logic
design, mathematical optimization, numerical analysis, scheduling
algorithms, sequential and parallel algorithms, statistics, stochastic
optimization, user interface technology, and yield management.

Close interaction with permanent department members is expected, but
fellows will be free to pursue their own research interests.

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 range from $70,000 to $80,000,
depending on the experience of the fellowship recipient. 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 learn more about IBM Research, please visit

To apply, please submit the following by January 10, 2000: resume,
including thesis summary; transcripts of graduate-level coursework;
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 of
the fellowship. Applicants are responsible for requesting that three or
more letters of reference, including one from the thesis advisor, arrive
before January 10, 2000. Direct all material to: Herman Goldstine
Fellowship Committee, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Room 31-210,
IBM Research Division, T.J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218,
Yorktown Heights, NY 10598 USA.

One fellowship will be awarded. Each applicant will be notified
individually as soon as the committee has reached a decision on the
application, no later than March 3, 2000.
