[DMANET] Postdoc position at University of Leeds, UK

Applications are invited for a 2.5-year EPSRC funded Research Fellow post at the School of Computing,
University of Leeds, UK.


The post is funded by DMS-EPSRC grant "The Power of Graph Structure", that is led by Professor Kristina Vušković (University of Leeds) on the UK side and by Professor Maria Chudnovsky (Princeton University) on the USA side. The Research Fellow will join the Algorithms and Complexity Research Group at the School of Computing at University of Leeds, and will collaborate with both PIs on the project research agenda.

This project focuses on developing techniques for structural and algorithmic study of hereditary graph classes, with the aim of gaining insight into the boundaries of what is computationally feasible. We aim to understand how to exploit structure in order to construct efficient algorithms for classical optimization problems, such as coloring, clique and stable set problems.

The applicant should have a PhD (or close to completion) in Mathematics, Computer Science, or a similar subject, as well as research experience including, but not limited to, structural graph theory, combinatorial optimization and graph algorithms.

Informal enquires can be sent to Kristina Vušković at k.vuskovic@leeds.ac.uk<mailto:k.vuskovic@leeds.ac.uk>.
Closing date: September 15, 2021
Start date: flexible
