Call for Applications
The Laboratory for Computer Science at Ecole Polytechnique (LIX), France, is inviting applications for its 2012-2013 LIX-Qualcomm Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in computer science.
LIX offers a unique academic research environment, bringing together permanent staff researchers from CNRS, INRIA, and CEA, as well as resident faculty from Ecole Polytechnique. We encourage a mixture of theoretical, applied, and experimental research. Including academic visitors, postdoctoral fellows and PhD students, LIX is home to about 120 researchers, organized in 11 research teams on the following subjects:
- Data and Web Mining
- Wireless and Ad Hoc Networking
- Computer Graphics, Vision and Visual Computing
- Bioinformatics
- Algorithms, Optimization
- Formal Languages for Mobile and Distributed Systems
- Reliability and Safety of Software
- Complex Systems
- Combinatorics
- Algebraic Modelization
- Cryptology and Coding Theory
- Automatic Proof Processing
- Algorithms for Distributed Systems
- Operations Research
- Algorithmic Game Theory
- Models for Continuous Time Computations
- Complexity
- Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Further information about the research teams at LIX can be found at http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/
The LIX-Qualcomm postdoctoral fellowship provides young scientists of outstanding quality an opportunity to advance their academic career as resident research fellows in one of these 11 research teams. The fellow is free to continue his/her own research, however expected to identify and integrate with a LIX research team in his/her area of interest. Applicants are strongly encouraged to make contact with staff researchers in their team(s) of research in advance, before submitting their application.
The fellowship will be for one year, with an opportunity for a fellow to present candidature for renewal for one additional year. The fellowship is supported by a competitive stipend. Applicants must have received a PhD degree after January 2011 or should expect to receive one before the fellowship commences in fall 2012.
Applications will be accepted until Wednesday May 16, 2012, and must be submitted on-line.
