The position is available in connection with an EPSRC research grant of Dr Sayan Bhattacharya on the theory and applications of dynamic algorithms. The primary focus in this research area is to design algorithms that can efficiently maintain (approximately) optimal solutions to classical optimisation problems in a scenario where the input data keeps changing with time. The main objective of the post is to pursue cutting-edge research in this area.
You will need to have a strong background in theoretical computer science, with a specialization either in dynamic algorithms or in related areas such as approximation, online, distributed, streaming and FPT algorithms.
You will need to have (or expect to obtain shortly) a PhD in the relevant area.
You should provide with your application form a CV, including a list of publications and the names and contact details of three references, and a research statement.
You will be formally based in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick, and you will be associated with the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/dimap) and the Division of Theory and Foundations at the University of Warwick.
The Centre for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) is an internationally renowned centre of excellence in algorithms, discrete mathematics and combinatorics, theoretical computer science and mathematical aspects of operational research. It is led by a number of internationally recognized researchers and has an extensive programme of scientific seminars, international workshops and conferences, and visiting researchers.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick is one of the top-ranking computing departments in the United Kingdowm. In the most recent national research evaluation exercise published in 2014 (REF 2014), the Department was ranked 2nd of all UK computer science departments. The department is especially renowned for its excellence in theoretical aspects of computer science. For further information about computer science at Warwick, please see our website (https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/).
For further information, please contact Dr Sayan Bhattacharya (https://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~u1671158/).
If you are interested in this position, please submit a formal application by October 6, 2019 via the following link:
