Postdoctoral Position in Computational Geometry (Voronoi diagrams) at
University of Lugano, Switzerland
=====================================================================
The University of Lugano, Faculty of Informatics,
http://www.inf.usi.ch/, invites applications for a postdoctoral position
in the area of Algorithms, Computational Geometry, and Voronoi Diagrams,
funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation for a period of up to
three years. The position is available as part of the Collaborative
Research Project "Spatial Decompositions and Graphs (VORONOI)" under the
ESF research program "Graphs in Geometry and Algorithms (EuroGIGA)".
The project will address a variety of open problems related to
generalized Voronoi diagrams ranging from conceptual questions, abstract
frameworks, the design and analysis of efficient algorithms, to
application, and implementation issues. Research will be conducted under
the supervision of Prof. Evanthia Papadopoulou. The postdoctoral
researcher will have the opportunity to collaborate with the members of
the Collaborative Research Project, which includes some leading European
institutions in the area of Voronoi diagrams and geometric subdivisions,
located in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Poland, and Spain.
Candidates should have a PhD degree in computer science or a closely
related field, and have an expertise in computational geometry or in the
general area of design and analysis of combinatorial algorithms and
their applications. Experience with engineering of geometric algorithms
is a plus. For full consideration, please send in your application by
April 15 2011. Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled. The exact starting date is negotiable.
To apply, please send the following to Prof. Evanthia Papadopoulou
(evanthia.papadopoulou@usi.ch).
1. a cv with a list of publications;
2. a brief research statement detailing past research
experience as well as current research interests;
3. the coordinates (including e-mail addresses) of three references;
4. a link to the PhD thesis (if not yet available to a PhD thesis
draft or proposal) as well as previous research publications.
Salary is competitive and follows the standard regulations of University
of Lugano. For more information, again, please contact Prof. Evanthia
Papadopoulou (evanthia.papadopoulou@usi.ch).
