[DMANET] PhD and Postdoc positions in Algorithms and Complexity at University of Copenhagen, Denmark (Deadline: April 18)

PHD POSITION

Applications are invited for PhD positions in Algorithms and Complexity at
the University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Apply here by April 18: https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=153847

The announcement is mainly for the research group of Danupon Nanongkai,
where the focus is on graph algorithms and complexity, and the interest
spans many fields of algorithms, complexity, and optimization (see
https://sites.google.com/site/dannanongkai/vacancies for detail).
Candidates interested in working with any faculty in the Algorithms and
Complexity Section (https://di.ku.dk/english/research/ac/researchers/) are
also encouraged to apply.

The University of Copenhagen was founded in 1479 and is the oldest and
largest university in Denmark. It is often ranked as the best university in
Scandinavia and consistently as one of the top places in Europe. It is
currently number 1 in Computer Science in the European Union (post-Brexit)
according to the Shanghai Ranking and number 4 in the world in Algorithms
and Complexity according to CSRankings.org
<http://csrankings.org/#/index?act&world>.

The PhD students will be working in the Algorithms and Complexity Section.
The group has a strong presence at top-tier conferences like STOC, FOCS,
and SODA, and also with publications in premier AI conferences like AAAI,
IJCAI, and NeurIPS. We are part of an exciting environment including the
Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre (https://barc.ku.dk/),
joint with the IT University of Copenhagen, and have extensive
collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and
Lund University on the Swedish side of the Oresund Bridge, as well as with
our many visitors. We aim to attract top talent from around the world to an
ambitious, creative, collaborative, and fun environment. Using the power of
mathematics, we strive to create fundamental breakthroughs in algorithms
and complexity theory, but we also have a track record of start-ups and
surprising algorithmic discoveries leading to major industrial applications.

These PhD positions are full-time employed positions for a period of 3-5
years, depending on the education level of the candidate, and include an
extended stay at some research institution abroad. The tentative starting
date is July 2021, but this is negotiable.

POSTDOC

There is no formal announcement for this position yet, but candidates with
strong research records are encouraged to contact Danupon Nanongkai.
