The Department of Computer Science is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral or Research Fellow to work with Professor Brendan McKay on an project funded by the Australian Research Council, investigating the practical and theoretical aspects of structure enumeration. The project is broadly defined as the en-masse study of combinatorial objects, involving both computational and theoretical studies. The computational aspects especially involve the development of methods to exhaustively list the objects in some class, plus the computational investigation of their properties. The theoretical aspects include the enumeration, especially asymptotic enumeration, of classes of objects as well as the study of the properties of random objects.

For appointment, candidates should have a strong mathematical background and possess a PhD in either mathematics or computer science. Extensive knowledge of at least one area of discrete mathematics is also required. The position is available for minimum term of two years, with the possibility of funding for a third year.

Selection documentation should be obtained before applying from
Antoinette Bosman, telephone +61 2 6125 5141 or email antoinette@cs.anu.edu.au.
