Position Description:
The John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and seeks applicants for a postdoctoral fellow in Computer Science, specifically at the intersection of Systems and Theory.
Systems + Theory Postdoctoral Position
The John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University (SEAS) seeks applicants for a postdoctoral position in systems and theory. The postdoc is intended for one year but there will be funding to potentially extend it to a second year. The postdoc will receive a generous salary as well as an allocation for research and travel expenses.
We are looking for junior scientists who are especially interested in working at the intersection of systems and algorithmic theory, in areas such as programmable network architectures, data center network management, cloud computing, machine learning, and algorithms for the Internet. Example topics of interest include but are not limited to the design and analysis of sketches and filters for use in real systems, network telemetry, network security, network compression methods, and optimizing network performance for machine learning applications. The ideal candidate will be interested in both building real systems and either developing algorithms and data structures or using existing, underutilized results from the theoretical literature in system design.
The postdoc is intended to work with closely with Minlan Yu and Michael Mitzenmacher, and others involved in the group focused on Systems + Theory work that they are developing, as well as possibly other Harvard faculty.
Candidates should have backgrounds in systems and/or theoretical computer science. Candidates should demonstrate experience in working at the intersection of these areas, or otherwise demonstrate how they will be able to contribute at the intersection. The candidate will be expected to publish scholarly papers, attend internal, domestic, and international conferences and meetings, and take on a mentorship role for undergraduate and graduate students.
Harvard SEAS is dedicated to building a diverse community that is welcoming for everyone, regardless of disability, gender identity and expression, physical appearance, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We strongly encourage applications from members of underrepresented groups.
Basic Qualifications:
Candidates are required to have a doctorate or terminal degree in Computer Science or a related area by the expected start date.
