Faculty of Science, Utrecht University
The Center for Algorithmic Systems is part of the Department of Information
and Computing Sciences of the Faculty of Science, Utrecht University. The
Center is headed by Professor Jan van Leeuwen. The Center focuses on the
algorithmic challenges in applied computer science viz. the design of highly
effective and efficient algorithmic solutions that exploit information and
structure. The Center is inviting applications for a position of a
Postdoc (Kernelisation) (1 fte)
Salary is in the range between euro 2,861 and euro 3,755 gross per month.
In the project KERNELS: Complexity and Combinatorial Analysis of Data
Reduction, we investigate the algorithmic, combinatorial and
complexity-theoretic aspects of kernelisation: polynomial time preprocessing
of combinatorial problems with a guarantee on the size of resulting reduced
instances, and related notions. The topic has a strong foundation in recent
theories of fixed parameter complexity and algorithms. The project is funded
by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research NWO.
The postdoc will investigate fundamental questions on the topic of
kernelisation and related complexity-theoretic issues and cooperate with other
members of the Center for Algorithmic Systems, especially with the project
leader dr Hans Bodlaender. The detailed research programme will be determined
by the postdoc and project leader in accordance with the project description
and the interests of the postdoc.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in computer science of mathematics, or expect
to receive a Ph.D. in 2010. We ask for a candidate with a strong background in
algorithms or complexity, with a proven of research in fixed parameter
complexity and algorithms for kernelisation. Candidates are expected to
disseminate the results through publications in peer-reviewed journals and
presentations at international conferences.
The candidates are offered a full-time position for 2 years. The gross salary
is in the range between euro 2861,- per and maximum euro 3755,- per month. The
salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of
8,3% per year. In addition, we offer a pension scheme, a partially paid
parental leave and flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the
Collective Labour Agreement of the Dutch Universities. See our website for
more details.
