[DMANET] Postdoc positions in Warsaw (graph algorithms, online algorithms)

We announce

postdoc positions

at the Institute of Informatics, University of Warsaw, Poland. The
positions are supported by the ERC Consolidator Grant TUgbOAT: "Towards
Unification of Algorithmic Tools" led by Piotr Sankowski.

The TUgbOAT' focus is on basic algorithmic problems. Example topics include:
* algorithms for finding matchings in graphs;
* online algorithms in various settings;
* studying and algorithmically exploiting properties of data.
We refer to the project website http://cutacombs.mimuw.edu.pl for more on
the project.

The theoretical computer science group in Warsaw is strong and growing.
Apart from the algorithms group members specializing in
parameterized, approximation and graph algorithms (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 generous travel support and no teaching duties.

The application deadline is 15th March 2020. The default length of the
contract is one year. The starting date is flexible.

To apply, send a CV to Piotr Sankowski <sank@mimuw.edu.pl>. Questions and
informal inquiries are welcome.
