The IBS discrete mathematics group welcomes Dr. Sebastian Wiederrecht, a new research fellow at the IBS discrete mathematics group from July 16, 2022. He received his Ph.D. from Technische Universität Berlin under thesupervision of Prof. Stephan Kreutzer. He is interested in graph theory, in particular the structural matching theory.
With the vision of “Making discoveries for humanity and society,” the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) was founded in 2011 by the Korean government to promote basic science in Korea. To date, IBS operates two institute and 35 Research Centers which have been yielding outstanding results in various research fields.
The IBS Young Scientist Fellowship started in 2016 to play an active role in fostering the next generation of basic science leaders. This Fellowship offers junior scientists opportunities to conduct independent research with state-of-the-art research infrastructure of IBS and to grow on the basis of research collaborations with leading researchers.
We hope that the Fellowship serves as a stepping stone for our researchers to mature into leading researchers in basic science.
Both Discrete Mathematics Group and Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group have openings. Budget: Up to KRW 150 million per year.
For other centers and groups, please visit the IBS website https://www.ibs.re.kr/ysf/.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Amadeus Reinald, a visiting graduate student from the ENS de Lyon in France. He is planning to stay with us until August 26, 2022.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Dr. Stijn Cambie, a new (and first) research fellow at the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group from May 16, 2022. He received his Ph.D. from the Radboud University in the Netherlands under the supervision of Prof. Ross Kang. He is interested in extremal problems on various graph parameters and in extremal set theory.
On April 1, 2022, Hong Liu from the University of Warwick is appointed as the Chief Investigator to lead a new group, the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO), in the Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences. To enhance our collaboration, the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group will move to the 3rd floor of the theory building on April 19-21 to share the space with the Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Tuan Anh Do (Tuấn Anh Đỗ), a visiting graduate student from the Graz University of Technology in Austria. He is a graduate student of Prof. Mihyun Kang and is planning to stay with us until the end of August 2022.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Prof. Hongseok Yang (양홍석) from the School of Computing, KAIST, Daejeon, Korea. He will visit the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group for 1 year from February 28, 2022 to February 24, 2023 during his sabbatical leave from KAIST. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001 and was a University Lecturer, an Assistant Professor, and a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford since May 2011. He moved to KAIST as a full professor in July 2017.
On January 3, 2022, Dabeen Lee from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group received the Excellence Award from the president of IBS. Congratulations!
We are very excited to learn that Prof. Hong Liu from University of Warwick, UK will move to the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) as a Chief Investigator (CI) to lead a new group called the Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) on April 2022. This new group will be also located in the IBS headquarter and is expected to work closely with the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG). Both DIMAG and ECOPRO belong to the IBS Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences together with the Data Science Group and the Biomedical Mathematics Group and we share the staff members.

Yesterday, the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) posted the hiring announcement for up to 5 postdocs. Here are a few paragraphs from the announcement.
The Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Daejeon, South Korea invites applications for 5 postdoctoral research fellowship positions. ECOPRO is a new research group that will be officially launched in April 1, 2022 at IBS, led by Prof. Hong Liu. We welcome highly motivated postdoc researchers with outstanding research potential in all fields of combinatorics with emphasis on extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, graph theory, Ramsey theory, combinatorial number theory and discrete geometry. This appointment is for 2 years with possible 1 year extension contingent upon the outstanding performance of the researcher. The starting salary is no less than 57,000,000 KRW (about 48,400 USD or 42,800 EUR). The appointment starting date is flexible: between April 1 and Oct 1, 2022. This is a purely research position and will have no teaching duties.
A complete application packet should include
For full consideration, applicants should email items 1, 2, 3, and 4 and arrange their recommendation letters emailed to ecopro@ibs.re.kr by January 14, 2022.
Recommendations letters forwarded by an applicant will not be considered.
On November 19, 2021, Jinha Kim (김진하) of the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group received the Excellence Award for Young Scientist (미래인재상) by Korea Federation of Women’s Science and Technology Associations (KOFWST, 한국여성과학기술단체총연합회). This award was created to recognize woman scientists and engineers who have the potentials to elevate the nation’s competitiveness in science through great passion, dedication, and remarkable achievement in their work. Congratulations!
