> The Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway,
> University of London is offering a three-year full-time PhD
> studentship in algorithms and complexity starting in October
> 2015. The studentship includes a full tuition-fee waiver and a
> maintenance award in line with the level recommended by

> The project is broadly in the area of computational complexity
> with an emphasis on satisfiability and the complexity of
> proofs. The successful candidate will investigate fundamental
> aspects of the Boolean satisfiability problem SAT from possibly
> different aspects - combinatorial, algebraic and logical - with
> a possibility to engage as well in applied or empirical study
> of SAT-solving and other applications related to SAT, depending
> on the preferences and qualifications of the candidate.
