At TTI-C we have a number of 3-year research faculty positions, that are similar to postdocs, in the sense that they are not tenure-track. Theory and algorithms are among the areas we are usually hiring in.

Does anyone know if the Computing Innovation Fellowship program (http://cifellows.org/) will be offered again next year?

While the NSF does not have CS postdocs per se, there are the NSF Math Sciences Postdocs that many CS theory people have taken advantage of. There is also the new CIE Fellows program administered by the Computing Community Consortium that provides postdocs across CS.

I don’t know if many people know about this, but in UC San Diego, we have the Information Theory and Applications Center (http://ita.ucsd.edu/) which gives fellowships to postdocs in CS theory, information theory and machine learning. As a postdoc at ITA, you are free to work on anything you want, and collaborate with anybody you want. I found it to be a great opportunity!
