The CS theory group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Iowa invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position. The initial appointment period for the position is for one year, with the possibility of extension for a second year. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to closely collaborate with CS faculty members Sriram Pemmaraju and Sourya Roy, on sampling problems in the distributed and parallel computing setting. The ideal candidate will have research experience in sampling algorithms and related areas (for example, efficient sampling from the Gibbs measure, Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, etc.). Experience in distributed or parallel computing is a plus but is not a requirement. It is required that (1) the candidate has a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics or Statistics, (2) publications in leading CS theory conferences or journals and (3) can fluently speak and write in English. The position has no teaching responsibilities.
