Call for Applications for ARC Postdocs
The Algorithms and Randomness Center (ARC) at Georgia Institute of Technology is seeking multiple postdoctoral fellows to participate in research investigations. The initial one-year appointment will begin August 1, 2026 (or a later date), with the option of extending for a second year subject to availability of funding.
ARC has faculty associated with multiple departments including Computer Science, Mathematics, Industrial and Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering. ARC also works closely with the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program on Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO).
The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work on any aspect of algorithms, randomness, or optimization, broadly interpreted, and collaborate with ARC faculty. There is no teaching requirement, but there are opportunities to lead a graduate seminar or a small undergraduate course.
Qualified applicants must possess a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Operations Research or a related field. A strong technical background is expected, and successful applicants will also exhibit leadership and organizational skills.
To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, research statement, and contact information for three references to the email arc-postdoc@cc.gatech.edu
Applications will be considered until open positions are filled. For full consideration, applicants are encouraged to submit their applications by December 1, 2025, but applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
