"Submodular optimization, lattice theory, and maximum constraint
satisfaction problems"
Applications are invited for one postdoc and one PhD student position at
Durham University, UK.
The positions are within the EPSRC-funded project "Submodular
optimization, lattice theory, and
maximum constraint satisfaction problems". A short description of the
project can be found here:

a PhD in Mathematics or Computer Science, and have excellent knowledge
of at least two of the
following areas: algorithms, computational complexity, combinatorial
optimization, discrete
mathematics, and algebra. The starting salary is (up to) 31,671 pounds
per year.
Applications for the postdoc position should be made through the

for studentship is 13,290 pounds per year. The UK/EU tuition fee is paid
by the project.
Applications materials for PhD studentship (including CV and the names
of two referees) should
be sent by email to Dr Andrei Krokhin.
The successful candidates will join the Algorthms and Complexity
Research Group at Durham:
