New Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing: research fellowships and call for programme proposals, Berkeley CA (U.S.A.)

The newly created Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley invites applications for Simons-Berkeley Research Fellowships for the Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 semesters. Simons-Berkeley Research Fellowships are intended for exceptional young scientists (within at most six years of the award of their Ph.D.). Applicants who already hold junior faculty or postdoctoral positions are welcome to apply. In particular, applicants who hold, or expect to hold, postdoctoral appointments at other institutions are encouraged to apply to spend one semester as a Simons-Berkeley Fellow subject to the approval of the postdoctoral institution.

Applications must be received before 15 January 2013. For more information, see http://simons.berkeley.edu/fellows.html
