[DMANET] Open postdoc position on algorithms at Utrecht University (The Netherlands)

Dear colleagues,

I would like to advertise an open postdoc position on my ERC starting grant "Finding Cracks in the Wall of NP-completeness". The project aims to improve classical algorithms for NP-hard problems. For example: Can the Bellman-Held-Karp dynamic programming algorithm from the 1960's that solves TSP with n cities in 2^n time be improved to 1.9999^n time?

For more information on the position or the project please see
https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/postdoc-position-in-algorithmic-theory-10-fte

or my website
https://webspace.science.uu.nl/~neder003/

The duration of the position is negotiable and for a maximum of 2.5 years. The application deadline is April 4th.

Thank you in advance for forwarding this to potential candidates!

Cheers,
Jesper Nederlof
