Amsterdam, The Netherlands
A 2-year postdoctoral position is available in the Networks & Optimization research group in the area of discrete and continuous optimization under the supervision of Daniel Dadush.
The research will be supported by the ERC grant "Towards a Quantitative Theory of Integer Programming". A principal goal of this project is to develop a theory capable of explaining the performance of the many techniques used to solve integer programs, such branch & bound, cutting planes, fast LP solving and rounding heuristics. Complementary to this goal, the project aims to make progress on related fundamental open problems in the context of LP, IP and discrepancy theory. For more information, please visit the project website: https://homepages.cwi.nl/~dadush/erc/erc.html.
The candidate will be expected to help advance the goals of the project together with their own personal research agenda.
The candidate should have a strong background in at least one of the following areas: discrete / continuous optimization, high dimensional geometry and probability, approximation algorithms or fixed parameter tractability. Research experience within the subject areas of integer programming, linear programming or discrepancy theory is a plus.
Applications should be submitted by *October 31st* via the following link:
https://www.cwi.nl/jobs/vacancies/894611 (click "apply" on the bottom-right of the page)
All applications should include:
- a motivation letter;
- a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, awards and presentations at conferences / workshops / seminars;
- A concise research statement, summarizing the applicants past research as well as future research goals;
- The contact information of two potential references
The preferred starting timeframe would be Spring 2022, but Fall 2022 may also be possible.
