*Job Description*
Our research is focused on answering foundational questions in fast algorithms, optimization, and fine-grained complexity theory. Modern algorithms often combine optimization and continuous methods with data structures and combinatorial techniques, and our research attempts to push the boundaries of this paradigm. We also connect theory to applied work by developing and implementing provably correct algorithms that perform well in practice. Our group is small and you will work closely with an excellent team tackling very challenging questions, while also having the independence and freedom to develop your own research agenda over time. In addition to the strong research environment in the Theory Institute, you will be able to draw on top research groups in machine learning, statistics & data science, and mathematical optimization. The salary and general working conditions are according to ETH standards. Your office is located in the heart of Zurich at the beautiful ETH Zentrum campus with cafés, sports facilities, and much more within a five-minute walk, and the whole city is easily accessible via Zurich's excellent public transport system.
