(Switzerland), opens one PostDoc position in approximation algorithms.
This position is supported by the
Swiss National Foundation Grant "Approximation Algorithms for Network Problems".
The appointment is for one year with the possibility of extension.
The position is available from November 1st 2017, and there is some
flexibility on the starting date.
The gross salary is roughly 80.000 CHF per year (low taxes, around 15%).
There are no teaching duties and there is generous travel support.
The ideal candidate should hold (or be close to obtaining) a Ph.D. in
Computer Science or related fields, and should have a solid
publication record in the area of algorithms and complexity (possibly
in approximation algorithms). Top conferences in this area include
STOC, FOCS, SODA, ICALP, and ESA.
Team members will have the opportunity to cooperate with the
Algorithms and Complexity group at IDSIA, which currently counts 7
researchers.
IDSIA offers an international working environment. Lugano is a tidy
and lively town, with a wonderful view on Ceresio lake and mountains
around. Ticino Canton offers many opportunities for hiking, biking,
skiing, etc. Local restaurants serve very good (Italian style!) food.

The interested candidates should email
- a detailed CV, including a list of publications and 2-3 references, and
- a short summary of past and current research interests
to:
fabrizio@idsia.ch
Applications should be sent as soon as possible.
