[DMANET] Postdoc in Computational Complexity - Imperial College London

*****************************************************
POSTDOC IN COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY
IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTING
*****************************************************

DURATION: Full-time, two years, with a possibility for a one-year extension
START DATE: expected autumn 2021 (flexible)
CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS: 31st Mar 2021 (by midnight)

The post of Research Associate (postdoc) is to conduct
world-leading research in computational complexity theory with
an emphasis on fundamental lower bound questions.
The successful candidate will join the complexity group at
Imperial College led by Professor Iddo Tzameret in the context
of the ERC (European Research Commission) EPRICOT project.

The post is based in the Department of Computing at Imperial
College London at the South Kensington Campus. Imperial College
London, Department of Computing is a world-leading department,
one of the largest in the UK, and is consistently ranked among the
top computer science departments in international league tables.

Apart from generous funding for equipment and travel covered by
the flagship ERC grant scheme, the position offers an exciting
opportunity to conduct internationally leading and impactful
basic research in a major computer science department at the
heart of London, with many leading research groups and other
institutions nearby. The postdoc will carry out a research
programme in the area of computational complexity and the
theory of computing, and may help supervise or collaborate with
other group members and students (there are no teaching
duties).

To apply for this position, you must have a proven strong
publication track-record in computational complexity, as may be
manifested for instance by publications in leading theoretical
computer science conferences such as STOC, FOCS, CCC, ICALP,
ITCS or in leading journals such as JACM, Siam J. Comput.
(SICOMP), etc.

For further information about the project, see:
https://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/home/ubac001/index.html, and
http://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/home/tzameret/siglog.pdf for a survey,
or email: iddo.tzameret@gmail.com (though candidates will have
freedom to pursue their own research agenda assuming it aligns
with that of the group).


HOW TO APPLY

To be considered, candidates should send their full CV
(containing a list of all publications) to
iddo.tzameret@gmail.com

Informal enquiries related to the position are strongly
encouraged and should be directed to Iddo Tzameret at the above
email.
