2010 CS theory postdocs

Since I haven't seen these summarized anywhere else, here is a list of postdoctoral research positions in theoretical computer science I've seen advertised in the last several weeks.

The big windfall this year is the brand-new Simons Postdoctoral Fellowship program in theoretical computer science, mathematics, and theoretical physics. Simons Fellowships in theoretical computer science have been announced at CMU (February 28), Cornell (January 30), MIT (January 31), and Princeton (January 1). According to the Simons web site, new postdoc positions will apparently be available in 2010 and again in 2011, most likely at a very similar set of institutions.

Here are the others, in order by application deadline.

• Caltech Center for the Mathematics of Information (December 18)
• TTI Chicago (December 31)
• Princeton Center for Computational Intractability (January 1) and Institute for Advanced Study (December 1)
• University of Toronto (January 4)
• IBM Research Goldstine Fellowship (January 6)
• DIMACS (January 8)
• Georgia Tech Algorithms, Randomness, and Complexity Center (January 10)
• Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik (January 31)
• Harvard Center for Research on Computation and Society (February 15)
• Århus Center for Massive Data Algorithms (MADALGO) (no deadline announced)

This list excludes the usual smattering of “I just happen to know somebody with postdoc funding” postdocs (which really are out there if you just happen to know somebody with postdoc funding) and other postdoc positions that Google can't find (and which therefore do not exist unless you just happen to know somebody with postdoc funding). Apologies if I have missed something obvious; please feel free to add additional links in the comments.

(And before you ask: No, I do not just happen to know somebody with postdoc funding.)

It seems that Harvard's call is from last year.

Microsoft Research New England has postdoc positions too..

I know one more for folks interested in distributed computing.

Post-doc (two year) and summer internship positions in theoretical computer science, please send vita and names of references to csjobs_theory at almaden.ibm.com by January 31 for full consideration.

This is in the category of "I happen to know someone with funding". The algorithms and complexity group at the University of Waterloo has postdoc positions available:

I just happened to visit this lab site. It says there that they're constantly hiring postdocs interested in working on problems with a strong geometric component. Thought I'd share the link for others' benefit...
