[DMANET] Durham Postdoc Position in Graph Algorithms and Complexity / Temporal Graphs

School of Engineering and Computing Sciences, Durham University, UK

Post-Doctoral Research Associate

Duration: 36 months
Salary: 32000 - 35000 GBP (GB Pounds p.a.)

A 3-year Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) is sought, with
expertise in graph algorithms and complexity, preferably also in
parameterized algorithms and/or approximation algorithms. The successful
candidate will work at Durham University under the guidance of Dr.
George Mertzios on the EPSRC-funded grant "Algorithmic Aspects of
Temporal Graphs". The research in this grant will investigate various
optimization problems on temporal (i.e. dynamically changing) graphs and
explore the computational complexity landscape of these new problems.
Although some previous experience with temporal (i.e. dynamically
changing) graphs may be beneficial, it is *not* a requirement for the
job. This project is in collaboration with the University of Liverpool.
The successful candidate will be part of the Algorithms and Complexity
research group (ACiD) in the School of Engineering and Computing
Sciences at Durham (see
http://community.dur.ac.uk/algorithms.complexity/index.php).

More details on the grant can be found at

http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/P020372/1.

Despite what is stated on the EPSRC web-site, the notional start-date is
1 April 2017 but there is flexibility regarding the actual start-date.

General inquiries about the position, the project and the application
procedure should be sent to Dr. George Mertzios:
