Postdoctoral Fellowship: Mathematics of Networks

Friday, February 15th, 2013

Applications are invited for a senior postdoctoral position within the networking group at the Hamilton Institute, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. The Hamilton Institute has one of the largest and most active applied mathematics research groups in Ireland and is an international centre of excellence. Current areas of interest include:

  • Queueing/information theory applied to wireless networks
  • Network optimisation, including dynamic routing/coding
  • Privacy and security
  • Optimisation and distributed algorithms for smart transport

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate an excellent international research track record and the potential to contribute leadership in developing new research directions and partnerships to both strengthen and complement existing activity.

This is a full-time research position for 3 years. Salary will reflect experience and qualifications, on the Science Foundation Ireland Research Fellow scale €42,394-€63,125. The Hamilton Institute is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and a stimulating research environment.

To apply for this post, candidates should submit a detailed CV, including a list of publications, motivation letter, a summary of recent projects, scientific interests and expertise, as well as the names and addresses of two referees for letters of recommendation to: hamilton@nuim.ie.

Functional Programming and Automatic Differentiation: PhD Studentships, Postdoctoral Positions

Monday, June 11th, 2012

Seeking PhD students and postdocs interested in an elegant combination of functional programming and big-iron style numeric computing.


Functional Programming and Automatic Differentiation

PhD Studentships
Postdoctoral Positions


We are adding exact first-class derivative calculation operators (Automatic Differentiation or AD) to the lambda calculus, and embodying the combination in a production-quality optimising compiler. Our research prototype compiler generates object code competitive with the fastest current systems, which are based on FORTRAN. We are seeking PhD students and postdocs with interest and experience in relevant areas, such as programming language theory, numeric computing, machine learning, numeric linear algebra, differential geometry; and a burning drive to help lift big iron numeric computing out of the 1960s and into a newer higher order. Specific sub-projects include: compiler and numeric programming environment construction; writing, simplifying, and generalising numeric and machine learning algorithms through the use of type theory and AD operators; and associated type/lambda calculus/PLT/real computation issues.

IRCSET Postdoctoral Fellow Hamilton Institute and IBM Collaboratory

Monday, October 11th, 2010

The Hamilton Institute, at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (NUIM) is searching for a postdoctoral fellow to conduct advanced research as part of the IBM Exascale Stream Computing Collaboratory. The research will focus on the interconnect of Exascale systems, in particular investigating optical networking concepts, techniques and machinery.

The successful candidate will have an excellent academic record and a PhD in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related discipline. They must be interested in developing analytic solutions to problems and prototyping these solutions as real systems. They are also required to be able to work in a collaborative environment and lead the writing of academic papers.

Experience in tackling problems in resource allocation, optical/Ethernet switching and implementation of networked systems would be considered an advantage.

The position will be funded by IRCSET and IBM through IRCSET’s Enterprise Partnership Scheme. Further details on the Enterprise Partnership Scheme can be found on IRCSET’s website (http://www.ircset.ie/). Applicants must meet IRCSET’s eligibility criteria and will be assessed independently by IRCSET. For further information or to apply, please contact
