[DMANET] Postdoc position in Algorithms and Optimization at the London School of Economics

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Mathematics Department of the London School of Economics and Political Science. The position is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant "Scaling Methods for Discrete and Continuous Optimization" held by László Végh.

The project focuses on problems and methods on the interface between discrete and continuous optimization. A key goal is to further our understanding of strongly polynomial computability, including making progress towards the important open question of finding a strongly polynomial algorithm for linear programming. Please see a brief summary of the project on the webpage http://personal.lse.ac.uk/veghl/scaleopt.html

The job advertisment is available at http://tiny.cc/scaleopt (the position is officially called "research officer"). The length of the position is 1 year with possible extensions; the starting date is flexible. The closing date for applications is 14 November 2018 (23.59 UK time).

If you have any question do not hesitate to send an email to l.vegh@lse.ac.uk<mailto:l.vegh@lse.ac.uk>.
