3 associate professorships at KTH in computer science (including TCS)

The School of Computer Science and Communication at KTH Royal Institute of
Technology invites applications for 3 associate professor positions in
computer science, including but not limited to theoretical computer
science. The TCS group at KTH would love to see strong theory applicants
for these positions.

KTH is the leading technical university in Sweden, with education and
research spanning from natural sciences to all branches of engineering
including architecture, industrial management and urban planning. The TCS
group at KTH (http://www.csc.kth.se/tcs/) offers a strong research
environment covering a wide range of research topics such as complexity
theory and approximation algorithms, computer and network security,
cryptography, formal methods and natural language processing. The group
has a consistent track record of publishing regularly in the leading
theoretical computer science conferences and journals worldwide, and the
research conducted here has attracted numerous international awards and
grants in recent years.

The associate professorships are permanent positions including both
research and teaching at the undergraduate and master levels. Details
regarding teaching load and support package for getting started with
research in Sweden will be negotiated on an individual basis with the
successful candidates.

The deadline for applications is February 29, 2012. For the full
announcement including instructions how to apply, see
