[DMANET] Postdoc positions in Budapest (parameterized complexity & algorithms)

One-year postdoc positions are available at the Institute for Computer
Science and Control (Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Budapest,
Hungary, supported by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting
Grant PARAMTIGHT: "Parameterized complexity and the search for tight
complexity results" held by Dániel Marx. The goal of the project is to
systematically push the boundaries of algorithmic and hardness
results, mostly in the framework of parameterized complexity, with the
aim of obtaining tight results that give an optimal understanding of
the complexity of a problem.

The candidates should have (or expect to have shortly) a PhD degree in
Computer Science or related area; research experience at postdoctoral
level is of advantage. A successful candidate should have excellent
knowledge of algorithms and/or complexity, preferably in the setting
of parameterized complexity and fixed-parameter tractability. Strong
background in graph theory, combinatorics, constraint satisfaction,
approximation, or kernelization is of advantage.

The review of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the
positions are filled. The ideal starting date is January 1,
2016. Applications received by September 15, 2015 will receive full
consideration. To apply, send a CV and a research statement by email
to Dániel Marx ( dmarx@cs.bme.hu ) and arrange two letters of
recommendation to be send to this address. Questions and informal
inquiries are welcome.
