Barcelona
The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is the
technical university of Catalonia with its base campus located in the
city of Barcelona. It is one of the largest technical universities of
southern EU, with over 30,000 students spanning all levels from
undergraduate to PhD, and employing over 2,500 faculty. The Computer
Science Department of UPC is one of its largest departments, and hosts
strong research groups in the theory of computation, algorithms, machine
learning and data mining, logic in computer science, and computer
graphics, among others. The research group in the theory of computation
is involved in the activities of the Barcelona Graduate School of
Mathematics (BGSMath), which is a platform that coordinates the
mathematical academic activities and PhD programs of the three public
universities within the area of Barcelona that have mathematics
departments (UB, UAB and UPC).
The Computer Science Department invites applications for two
postdoctoral research positions in the theory of computation. The
successful candidates will join the group of Albert Atserias
(http://www.cs.upc.edu/~atserias) to conduct research in the areas of
algorithms and computational complexity, and mathematical logic for the
theory of computation. They will be involved on subjects related to the
ERC Consolidator Grant "A Unified Theory of Algorithmic Relaxations"
(2015-2020) held by Albert Atserias.
Description:
The researchers will be appointed as full-time employees of UPC, with
affiliations at the computer science department, and their positions
will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal. The appointment
will start on January 2018. The place of work will be the Computer
Science Department at the UPC, in Barcelona (Spain) within the theory of
computation research group (ALBCOM). Salary will be commensurate with
academic level and experience.
Career Stage:
Successful candidates should have received or be about to receive a PhD
degree in computer science and/or mathematics, with particular emphasis
on the theory of computation or related areas (combinatorics,
mathematical programming, mathematical logic, etc.). Their strong record
of research should be proved by top-quality publications at the most
prestigious conference venues (ICALP, FOCS/STOC, CCC, LICS, SODA, etc.)
and/or scientific journals. Contributions to the research lines
mentioned above may be highlighted.
Additional Requirements:
Those interested should send their curriculum vitae (including the
contact of two references) to Albert Atserias email address
atserias@cs.upc.edu before 31st October 2017.
