one-year postdoc positions (with possible extensions)
at the Institute of Informatics, University of Warsaw, Poland. The
positions are supported by the ERC Starting Grant CUTACOMBS: "Cuts and
decompositions: algorithms and combinatorial properties" led by Marcin
Pilipczuk and by the ERC Consolidator Grant TUgbOAT: "Towards Unification
of Algorithmic Tools" led by Piotr Sankowski.
The CUTACOMBS' focus is on structural graph theory and parameterized
complexity. Example topics include:
* structure of separations in directed graphs, with applications to
parameterized algorithms;
* approximability of the disjoint paths problem in various settings;
* structure of hereditary graph classes, such as graph excluding a fixed
graph as induced subgraph, with algorithmic and graph-theoretical
applications.
More information about the project can be found at
http://cutacombs.mimuw.edu.pl/.
The TUgbOAT's focus is to work on algorithms for core algorithmic problems.
Example topics include:
* faster algorithms for matchings and maximum flow problems;
* optimal online algorithms (when comparing to online opt);
* analyzing structure of real world networks and exploiting it
algorithmically.
The theoretical computer science group in Warsaw is strong and growing.
Apart from the algorithms group specializing in parameterized and
approximation algorithms (Marek Cygan, Łukasz Kowalik, Marcin Mucha, Marcin
Pilipczuk, Michał Pilipczuk, Piotr Sankowski), we have also a leading
research group in logic and automata (Mikołaj Bojańczyk, Bartosz Klin,
Sławomir Lasota).
We are looking for outstanding candidates with a Ph.D. (or soon to obtain a
Ph.D.) in Computer Science or Mathematics who have already proven their
high scientific potential in the area of algorithms or graph theory through
publications in proceedings of highly ranked international conferences
and/or journals. Background in the specific areas of projects in question
will be an advantage.
The gross annual salary is around 100,000PLN. For comparison, this
translates to around twice the average salary in Poland. The position comes
with a generous travel support and no teaching duties.
The application deadline is 10th September 2018. The starting date is
flexible, but not earlier than 1st November 2018.
To apply, send a CV both to Marcin Pilipczuk (malcin@mimuw.edu.pl) and
Piotr Sankowski (sank@mimuw.edu.pl). Please indicate your preference with
regards to the project. Questions and informal inquiries are welcome.
