[DMANET] 2 PostDoc positions in Algorithms at IDSIA, USI-SUPSI, Switzerland

The Algorithms and Complexity Group of IDSIA, USI-SUPSI, Lugano
(Switzerland), opens 2 PostDoc positions.

These positions are supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation project
"Approximation Algorithms for Resource Scheduling"
(November 2021-October 2025)
The main goal of this project is to design improved approximation
algorithms for a wide family of applications. Besides the classical
(offline, centralized) setting, the group is also interested in
algorithms for distributed, dynamic and online settings.

The PostDoc positions are initially for 1 year, but an extension by 1
extra year is expected. The project supports 2 PostDoc positions per
year on average. The gross salary is around 80.000 CHF per year, with
low taxes. There are no teaching duties and there is generous travel
support. Candidates should hold (or be close to obtaining) a Ph.D. in
Computer Science or related areas, and should have a solid
publication record in the area of TCS (with a
preference for approximation algorithms). Top conferences in this area
include STOC, FOCS, SODA, and ICALP.

IDSIA offers an international working environment. Lugano is a tidy
and lively town, with a wonderful view on Ceresio lake and mountains
around. Ticino Canton offers many opportunities for hiking, biking,
skiing, etc. Local restaurants serve very good (Italian style!) food.

The interested candidates should email Prof. Fabrizio Grandoni,
fabrizio at idsia.ch, a detailed CV and contact details of 2-3 references.

For full consideration, applications should be sent within August 2023.

For any question, do not hesitate to contact:
