We are looking for an excellent PhD candidate (from either computer
science or mathematics) with a background in Algorithms, Complexity
and Combinatorics. The candidate must hold a M.Sc. degree or similar.
Financing is for 4 years. Preferred starting date: August-September
2011.
The working environment will be the Algorithms Research Group at the
Department of Informatics, University of Bergen. The successful
candidate will work with Prof. Fedor Fomin on "Rigorous Theory of
Preprocessing" project funded by the European Research Council (ERC)
via the Advanced Investigator Grant scheme. The goal of Preprocessing
project is the study of heuristic algorithms, mainly in the realm of
Parameterized Complexity. The research areas are Algorithms and
Complexity, in particular, fixed parameter tractability, parameterized
complexity, kernelization.
ERC finances 75% of the position and the University of Bergen 25%.
There can be teaching assistance duties (at most 25% time of the
