University, Sweden, invites applications for up to two (2) positions
as PhD student in Computer Science. These are positions within the
AI-Math Graduate School of the Wallenberg Artificial Intelligence,
Autonomous Systems and Software Program WASP (http://wasp-sweden.org/).
The PhD positions are within a project that focuses on methods for
analysing the computational complexity of constraint satisfaction problems
(CSP). CSPs are an important class of computational problems with a wide
range of applications within computer science, artificial intelligence,
and mathematics. The computational complexity of CSPs has been intensively
studied during the last decades, and several breakthrough results have
recently been obtained. These results are to a large extent based on
utilising methods from universal algebra and mathematical logic. The
project aims at developing new mathematical methods for analysing the
computational complexity of CSP problems over infinite domains---such
problems have very interesting applications within AI. A slightly more
informative project description can be found here:

Professor Peter Jonsson (https://www.ida.liu.se/~petjo00) is the leader
of the project and questions may be sent directly to him
(email: peter.jonsson@liu.se). Applicants should have strong backgrounds
in computer science and mathematics. In particular, a strong interest
in discrete mathematics, logic, and computational complexity is desirable.
The project is primarily oriented towards theoretical work.

The deadline for application is Oct 15, 2018.
