This is an exciting opportunity for a Lecturer in Algorithms at the
University of Sheffield, UK, a world top 100 University. Working in the
Department of Computer Science, you will join our established Algorithms
Group. The group focuses on the design and analysis of algorithms which
provably solve computational problems efficiently.
The Department is embarking on an exciting growth strategy following our
strong performance in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, in
which we were ranked 5th out of 89 computer science departments in the UK.
To build upon our continued success, we seek to appoint a Lecturer in the
design and analysis of algorithms, with specialist expertise in an area
including, but not limited to:
- randomised algorithms
- streaming algorithms and sublinear-time algorithms
- combinatorial optimisation
- approximation algorithms
- parameterised complexity and fixed-parameter tractable algorithms
- distributed computing
- graph algorithms analysis
- data structures design and analysis
- algorithmic game theory
- randomised search heuristics
You will hold a PhD in computer science or a related area, and you will be
able to conduct research to the highest standards. You will secure research
funding, publish in high impact journals and conferences, supervise
research students and manage research projects. As a teacher, you will play
a key role in maintaining our reputation for high-quality teaching by
designing, delivering and assessing undergraduate and postgraduate-level
courses in computer science. We seek candidates who will be able to make a
distinctive individual contribution to our algorithms research portfolio.
We're one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.
The University's Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a
generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to
a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and
professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles whose
talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We
believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through
research, teaching and student experience. The Department of Computer
Science holds a Silver Athena SWAN award, in recognition of our commitment
to equality and diversity.
This role has been identified as a full-time post, but we are committed to
exploring flexible working opportunities with our staff which benefit both
the individual and the University. We would be pleased to consider flexible
delivery of the role subject to meeting the business needs of the post.
