********************************************************************** 

SCOPE: The Thomas J. Watson Research Center at International Business 
Machines Corporation (IBM) is inviting applications for the Herman 
Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mathematical and Computer 
Sciences. 

DEADLINE: January 9. 

FUNDS: 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, 
with an allowance for moving expenses. One fellowship will be awarded.

ELIGIBILITY: Each candidate must have a doctorate and not more than 
five years of postdoctoral professional experience when the fellowship 
commences.

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

The Research Center is located in Westchester County, approximately 40 
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. Ongoing 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.
