The research group AlGCo (Algorithms Graphs and Combinatorics) has a PhD position available for the (flexible) Period 01/10/2018–30/09/2021 
for scientific research on the fields of graph algorithms and graph mining problems.
Keywords of the related research domains are: structural graph theory, graph algorithms, parameterized algorithms, approximation algorithms, 
community detection, clustering, graph similarity, graph modification problems.
Research enviroment: The AlGCo team has a strong background on the proposed research program. AlGCo is one of the leading research 
teams in France in Parameterized Computation and havs an increasing interest to graph algorithms, kernelization, graph coloring, and 
structural graph theory.
Candidate profile: The candidates should hold a MSc degree and should have a solid background in algorithms, complexity, and graph theory 
and strong motivation to work on related areas, including parameterized computation and approximation algorithms. Moreover, english language 
skills and knowledge/experience on programming in Python, C, and C++, will be appreciated.
The application, in English, must be send to paul@lirmm.fr or sedthilk@thilikos.info and should include:
    Cover Letter, detailing your motivation and background for applying for the PhD project
    Other information related to the candidate.
    Detailed CV
    Proof of diplomas and transcripts of records (BSc and MSc)
    Other information for consideration, e.g. list of publications (if any),
    Full contact details (Name, address, telephone & email) of 1-3 referees
