The Special Research Program (SFB) "ALGORITHMIC AND ENUMERATIVE
COMBINATORICS," a four-year programme (March 1, 2013 - Feb. 28, 2017)
funded by the Austrian Science Foundation FWF, is offering post-
and pre-doctoral positions at each of its three associated research
groups at the University of Vienna, at the RISC of the Johannes
Kepler University Linz, and at the Vienna University of Technology.

"Algorithmic and Enumerative Combinatorics," as we understand it,
is the general research area which is defined by the interplay
of the fields of Enumerative Combinatorics, Analytic Combinatorics,
and Algorithmics.
The SFB will join the forces of the Combinatorics Group at the
University of Vienna, the Algorithmic Combinatorics Group at
the RISC, and the Algorithms Group at the Vienna University
of Technology, in order to significantly advance our knowledge
in this branch of Combinatorics and related fields.

The SFB consists of eight project parts, run by:

Michael Drmota (TU Wien)
Bernhard Gittenberger (TU Wien)
Manuel Kauers (RISC Linz)
Christian Krattenthaler (Universit\"at Wien)
Peter Paule (RISC Linz)
Veronika Pillwein (RISC Linz)
Michael Schlosser (Universit\"at Wien)
Carsten Schneider (RISC Linz)

For more specific information see the SFB WWW Site

https://www.sfb050.risc.jku.at/

We explicitly encourage female researchers to apply for the offered
positions. We guarantee that the selection process, based solely on
the research records, will give equal opportunities to female and
male researchers.

Interested applicants should submit an application with
CV, list of publications, an indication with whom the applicant
would like to work (multiple choice is possible),
and in addition ask 2 (for postdocs), respectively 1 (for pre-docs),
people to send letters of evaluation,
no later than

JANUARY 31, 2013.

The application should be done using the website

https://www.sfb050.risc.jku.at/application

Late applications will be considered until all the positions are filled.

The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), based in Vienna,
has published a *new call for applications for internships at the FRA
for the period July – December 2013. Deadline for applications is 25
February 2013. *

Please visit our website for more detailed information:
http://fra.europa.eu/en/vacancy/2013/in ... ember-2013

The FRA Statistics & Surveys Team (organisationally incorporated in the
FRA Freedoms & Justice Department) would like *to encourage applications
from internship candidates who have experience in using quantitative
research methods*, and who would like to apply these skills in the area
of Fundamental Rights.

In 2013 the Statistics & Surveys Team is working on surveys covering a
great variety of themes such as antisemitism
,
gender-based violence against women
,
LGBT and the
Roma . The intern
assigned to the Statistics & Surveys Team would assist in the analysis
of survey data and would also gain experience in general project
management support activities.

The Statistics & Surveys Team is looking for an internship candidate
with experience in using statistical software (primarily SPSS, but
experience on STATA, SAS, S-Plus or R is also good) and advanced skills
in Excel. The candidate should also have experience in quantitative data
analysis (e.g. analysis of survey data) or data collection.
