POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR

The theory group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Iowa invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar; this is a one-year position with the possibility of extension for up to an additional year depending on performance and continued availability of funding. The position starts as soon as possible and the search will continue until the position is filled.

The Postdoctoral Research Scholar 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. The position does not include teaching responsibilities.
