We received a substantial (~500K$) grant for doing a project on the "border" between polyhedral computation, multidimensional moment problem (moments meant as moments of measures), and hard-core numerical computing. We see a considerable part (if not all) of the software to be written done in Sage (or some subset of it), therefore the announcement here. A part of the mathematics involved can be seen in http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5723
We have funding for two PhD students (4-year fully funded positions with a stipend), a postdoc (for up to 3 years), and a research associate (for up to 3 years, minimum degree required is a BSc or equivalent). Funding starts in November 2011. PhD applications will go through a usual NTU admission procedure. http://admissions.ntu.edu.sg/graduate/R-Programs/Pages/default.aspx Please distribute this among potentially interested people, and re-post to relevant lists. In case you are US-based, and (or) will attend the SIAG/SIAM meeting in Raleigh (http://www.siam.org/meetings/ag11/) in October, I will be there.
