[DMANET] Postdoc position in algorithms at University of Warwick, UK (application deadline: September 12, 2021)

In connection with a research grant of Dr. Ramanujan Sridharan and Prof. Graham Cormode at University of Warwick, UK, we are seeking excellent candidates for a postdoctoral fellow position in the area of design and analysis of kernelization and approximation algorithms.

The position is for 2 years and start date can be negotiated (preferably before January 2022). 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.

The applicants are expected to have a strong background in the mathematical analysis of algorithms, with a specialization in one of the following areas: graph algorithms, kernelization or approximation algorithms. You will 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 Theory and Foundations research group 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 UK. 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 recognized 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/ .

Formal applications must be submitted by September 12, 2021 at the following link: https://bit.ly/3srPqEH . Informal enquiries are welcome (please contact Dr. Sridharan: r.maadapuzhi-sridharan@warwick.ac.uk<mailto:r.maadapuzhi-sridharan@warwick.ac.uk>).
