[DMANET] Postdoc position in parameterized complexity at University of Warwick, UK (application deadline: January 18, 2021)

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the area of parameterized algorithms, at the University of Warwick. The position is for 2 years and the start date can be negotiated for the successful candidate.

The position is available in connection with a research grant of Dr. Ramanujan Sridharan (https://msramanujan.weebly.com/parity-project.html) with the goal of pursuing cutting edge research in the design of parameterized graph algorithms exploiting novel notions of graph-edit distance. The project comes with a generous travel budget which will enable the project team to closely collaborate with internationally leading research groups in algorithms and complexity.

You will need to have a strong background in the mathematical analysis of algorithms, with a specialization in one of the following areas: graph algorithms, combinatorics or parameterized complexity. You will need to have (or expect to obtain shortly) a PhD in the relevant area.

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 Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick is one of the top-ranking computing departments in the United Kingdom. The department is especially renowned for its excellence in theoretical aspects of computer science, in the areas of algorithms and combinatorial optimization.

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 recognised researchers and has an extensive programme of scientific seminars, international workshops and conferences, and visiting researchers. For further information about DIMAP, please see our website http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/dimap/

For further information about the position, please contact Dr. Sridharan (https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/people/ramanujan_sridharan/).

If you are interested in this position, please submit your application by 18 Jan 2021 at the following link: https://bit.ly/3h9QDLv.
