Description
The Center for Mathematics of Information (CMI) Postdoctoral Fellowship supports research within the Computing + Mathematical Sciences (CMS) Department at the California Institute of Technology. CMS brings together computer science, applied mathematics, communication and networks, and control and systems in a multidisciplinary research environment.
CMI is part of the department’s interdisciplinary postdoctoral program, which typically hosts more than 20 scholars across positions sponsored by individual faculty, research groups, and cross-cutting research centers. Departmental research frequently connects with other fields, including physics, biology, economics, and engineering. Scholars may choose to teach a course with departmental permission as part of their postdoctoral training.
