2001-2002 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.

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 $85,000 to $95,000,
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.

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 biometry, coding theory, computational complexity,
computational linguistics, computer music, computer vision, continuous
complexity, cryptography, data and text mining, differential equations,
dynamical systems, financial mathematics, high-performance computation,
knowledge discovery systems, machine learning, machine translation,
mathematical optimization, numerical analysis, scheduling algorithms,
sequential and parallel algorithms, statistics, stochastic optimization,
user interface technology, visualization, and yield management. To learn
