Interdisciplinary Internship in the
Department of Computer Science and the School of Mathematical Sciences
Queen Mary
University of London

Applications are invited for an interdisciplinary summer internship,
sponsored by the EPSRC NetCA network grant, in computational design
theory and the representation of mathematical knowledge. This internship
will be for three months (July--September 2005); a stipend of 1000 pounds
per month will be paid.

The tasks will be:

1. Learning the DesignTheory.org software system for the construction and
analysis of combinatorial designs, and in particular the XML-format for 
the external representation of block designs and their properties; 

2. the development of software to transform the XML representation of
a block design and (some of) its properties to other formats, such as
xhtml for display on the web;

3. (time permitting) the generation and analysis of new block designs. 

This post would be particularly suitable for an undergraduate student
in computing or mathematics who is considering postgraduate study.

For further details, or to make an application, contact Leonard Soicher
(l.h.soicher at qmul.ac.uk). Applications, by email in pdf format,
should be in the form of a CV, together with a brief  statement of interest.
The deadline for applications is 20 April 2005.
