2019 XVI International Symposium "Problems of Redundancy in Information and Control Systems" (REDUNDANCY) DEADLINE EXTENDED

Several postdoctoral and PhD positions available within the NICEST lab at UIC, in network information theory and communication theory, with Profs Tuninetti, Devroye, and Smida.

IEEE JSAIT's inaugural issue will be on Deep Learning: Mathematical Foundations and Applications to Information Science.

There is a vacancy for a PhD position in information/coding theory at the Department of Informatics. The position is for a fixed-term period of 4 years. The workplace is the research center Simula UiB AS, the position is within the Information Theory Section of Simula UiB.

Open PhD position on Coding Theory for Quantum Technology, Aalto University Finland

The Information and Communication Theory (ICT) Lab @TU/e is recruiting at all levels in the areas of communication and information theory.

The joint project "Post Shannon Communication," is being funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In this joint project, transmission systems that go beyond Shannon's communication approach are to be developed in order to achieve more efficient information transmission for selected applications. The position is initially limited to three years. An extension is possible.
