Apply to become a DIMACS postdoc
DIMACS, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, invites applications for postdoctoral associate positions beginning in Fall 2026. Applicants should be recent Ph.D.'s with interest in DIMACS areas such as computer science, discrete mathematics, statistics, physics, operations research, data science, AI, machine learning, ethics of algorithms, and their applications.
The postdoc will be mentored by a faculty member at Rutgers or a DIMACS partner institution and will be able to participate in the wide variety of activities at DIMACS while working on an original research program. Topics of particular interest include artificial intelligence, computing theory (algorithms, complexity), data science, statistics, discrete mathematics (graph theory, combinatorics), game theory, machine learning, optimization, privacy, and security. Activities often address applications in wide-ranging areas, including biology, robotics, cyber & physical security, economics, voting, engineering, ecology, sociology, epidemiology, sustainability, and computational social choice. Applicants should be recent PhD graduates in computer science, mathematics, statistics, economics, information science, operations research, or a related field.
Positions include salary, health benefits, and a travel allowance.
Applications are due December 1, 2025, for full consideration.
