Postdoc position in theoretical computer science at EPFL

The theory group at EPFL has a postdoctoral position available. An ideal candidate should have a strong research track-record and willingness to work on important challenges in theoretical computer science. We have a focus on approximation algorithms, hardness of approximation and efficient exact algorithms and are willing to branch out to other topics as well. 

The position is for one or two years, and comes with a competitive salary and generous support for scientific travel. In addition, EPFL, located in the heart of Europe, provides an active and stimulating research atmosphere with short- and long-term visitors. Ideally, the appointment should start in Fall 2013, but other starting dates might be also possible.
