[DMANET] Assistant professor position at CSI of Charles University in Prague

Assistant professor position
Computer Science Institute of Charles University
Prague, Czech Republic

The Computer Science Institute (CSI) of Charles University in Prague,
Czech Republic, invites applications for a faculty position at the
rank of an assistant professor in the area of theoretical computer
science and discrete mathematics. The expected starting date is
between October 1, 2014, and January 1, 2015, and is negotiable.

We are looking for candidates that would strengthen and/or complement
existing research areas in our group, such as structural graph theory,
computational complexity or approximation algorithms. However, strong
candidates from all areas of theoretical computer science and discrete
mathematics will be considered. For further information about our
research group at CSI and at the closely related Department of Applied
Mathematics see http://iuuk.mff.cuni.cz/ and http://kam.mff.cuni.cz/.

A successful candidate is expected to pursue an active research
program, teach advanced and introductory classes in Czech and/or
English and possibly supervise undergraduate and graduate
students. Teaching in Czech is not required. (English is sufficient
since the advanced classes may be taught in English even in standard
undergraduate programs; additionally, our school is developing
international programs in English.)

Candidates are expected to have a proven international research record
and postdoctoral experience. A PhD in computer science, discrete
mathematics or a closely related field is required. Candidates with
PhD obtained in year 2009 or later will be given a special
consideration.

The expected contract duration is three years. Potentially, the
position is renewable; also a habilitation (associate professor
promotion) and a permanent position is a possibility (subject to a
separate review process).

Electronic application accompanied by a curriculum vitae, a proof of
education, a list of publications, and a description of pedagogical
experience should be sent to Mrs. Petra Milstainova
<petra@iuuk.mff.cuni.cz>. The candidate should also arrange for two
letters of recommendation to be sent directly to the same address.
Informal inquiries are welcome and may be sent to Prof. Jiri Sgall
<sgall@iuuk.mff.cuni.cz>.

The application deadline is

*** May 5, 2014 ***

Early applications are encouraged; applications may be processed
as they are received. We expect to invite the best candidates for
an interview in the second half of May or between June 16 and 20;
after that the final round of selection will follow. The position is
subject to budgetary and administrative approval.
