ARC POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW/RESEARCH FELLOW (FIXED-TERM) 
ACADEMIC LEVELS A/B

Reference:  FEIT 1209
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.  

Salary range:  Level A:  $47,721 - $51,066 p.a.;
Level B:  $53,640 -  $63,287 p.a.
