Dear GAP-forum,
We (Leonard Soicher, Rosemary Bailey and Peter Cameron) have obtained a
3-year grant to develop a GAP share-package and web-resource for Design
Theory, and would be very pleased to receive applications from suitably
qualified members of the GAP Forum for the postdoctoral research
position advertised below. Please feel free to pass this advertisement
on to anyone you think may be interested.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Regards, Leonard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postdoctoral Research Assistant for A Web-based Resource for Design Theory
School of Mathematical Sciences
Queen Mary, University of London
Starting Salary (including London Weighting): 21,620 pounds
The School has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work
full-time on a 3-year EPSRC funded project to create a web-based
resource for combinatorial, computational and statistical design
theory.
The successful applicant will play a major role in designing and
constructing a computer package for combinatorial design theory,
building a database of combinatorial designs, and constructing a
web-site which will provide an interface to the design package and
database, as well as to other design-theoretical resources.
You must have a relevant PhD in Mathematics, Statistics or Computer
Science, together with the willingness to learn and apply new areas of
mathematics, statistics and computing. You should also have extensive
experience of writing mathematical software, preferably in the GAP
language. Also desirable is experience with web-site production, HTML
and Unix. You must have a high level of self-motivation and be able
work independently within the framework of the project, which involves
three members of the School's academic staff.
The appointment will be for three years. A starting date of 1 January
2002 is desirable.
Further information on the project can be found at

An application package can be obtained by emailing Sharon Woolf
( S.Woolf@qmul.ac.uk ), quoting reference 01200.
Completed applications must be returned by 26 October 2001 to
