The Departments of Mathematics of the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural
Sciences and Information Technologies (FAMNIT) of the University of
Primorska,
https://www.famnit.upr.si/,
and Andrej Marusic Institute (IAM) of the University of Primorska,
https://www.iam.upr.si/,
are seeking a top early-career researcher for a postdoctoral position in
the area of structural and algorithmic graph theory, in connection with
a research grant of Prof. Martin Milanic,
https://osebje.famnit.upr.si/~martin.milanic/,
"Tree-Independence Number of Graphs" funded by the Slovenian Research
Agency,
https://p1-0285.iam.upr.si/en/research-projects/j1-4008
The project will investigate several key problems within pure and
algorithmic graph theory, with a focus on graph classes and graph width
parameters, including the tree-independence number of graphs. Progress
is expected to be obtained using an effective combination of various
complementary concepts and techniques suitable for the study of graph
classes, such as graph decompositions, structural characterizations of
graphs in hereditary graph classes, graph minors and other inclusion
relations, classical and parameterized graph algorithms and complexity,
Ramsey theory, extremal graph theory, etc.
The successful candidate will be part of the Departments of Mathematics
at UP FAMNIT and UP IAM and will work under the guidance of Prof. Martin
Milanic, PhD.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
- The position is for two years, with the possibility of renewal for a
third year (depending on performance and budget availability).
- Applicants must possess (or expect to obtain shortly) a PhD in
Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related area, and show evidence of
excellence in discrete mathematics or theoretical computer science.
Candidates who completed their PhD recently or will do so by next
September are encouraged to apply.
- Relevant expertise in structural and algorithmic graph theory is
required, including a solid knowledge of various aspects of graph
theory, algorithms, and computational complexity theory.
- The position will require teaching of at most two courses per year.
- The postdoctoral researcher will have access to a certain amount of
funding for travel, conferences, and visitors.
- The compensation is set according to the academic title by Slovenian
law governing higher education and is expected to be about 1630 EUR /
month after tax, which can increase to about 1730 EUR / month after the
first 6 months (if the tax residency status is obtained).
DEADLINE AND APPLICATION PROCESS:
Applications will be assessed on a rolling basis until the position is
filled, beginning January 10, 2023.
The starting date is flexible, but preferably not later than October 2023.
To apply, please send the following documents in electronic form
directly to Martin Milanic (martin.milanic@upr.si) with the subject line
"University of Primorska Postdoc 2023" in the Subject field:
- Curriculum Vitae,
- Publication List,
- Research Statement,
- Copies of at most three recent papers or preprints,
- Names and e-mail addresses of two or three persons who can be
contacted for reference (and who have agreed to be contacted).
Informal inquiries may be directed by email to martin.milanic@upr.si.
Kind regards,
Martin Milanic
