[DMANET] PhD position in Structural graphs and FPT algorithmics in Brno, CZ, since 2016

Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk
University, Brno CZ, http://www.fi.muni.cz/,
announces an open call for special PhD positions starting from September 2016,
in the following particular area:

* Topic: Structural Graph Theory and Algorithmic Metatheorems
Supervisor: Prof. Petr Hliněný

The perspective student shall work on width and depth parameters
(such as tree-width and tree-depth and other) of graphs and
other relational structures, and apply the theoretical results
in algorithmic metatheorems on restricted graph classes.
The focus shall be on investigation of sparse graph classes
and on complementary "dense" depth parameters such as the
new shrub-depth, and on metatheorems for problems formulated
in FO logic. Prior introductory knowledge of structural graph
theory, logic and parameterized complexity is welcome.
