Several postdoc positions in theoretical computer science and discrete
mathematics are available at the School of Computer Science of Faculty of
Mathematics and Physics at Charles University, Prague. The positions are
hosted at the Computer Science Institute of Charles University, Department
of Applied Mathematics, and Department of Theoretical Computer Science and
Mathematical Logic. Applications are invited from candidates who have a
strong background in computer science and/or mathematics and complete their
Ph.D. degree by summer 2024.

Starting date: Summer or Fall 2024.

Duration: 1 year, with a possibility of an extension up to two years total.

Qualification requirements: Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in a relevant area

The typical postdoc salary is 60,000 CZK/month. The national health
insurance scheme covers our postdocs. The price level in Prague can be
estimated at numbeo.com. Informal inquiries are welcome and may be sent to
the principal investigators or possible mentors listed above.

Application: The application should indicate the area of interest and/or
possible mentors and contain:
a short letter of motivation (research statement),
a professional CV,
two letters of recommendation,
copies of academic certificates (PhD, if available),
other optional materials, e.g., published papers.

Application deadline: January 31, 2024, to be fully considered. All
applications received by January 31, 2024, will be considered. After that,
applications will be processed as received, until the positions are filled.

The application and two letters of recommendation should be sent
electronically to positions@iuuk.mff.cuni.cz. The referees can send their
letters directly to the indicated email. In both cases, make sure that the
name of the applicant is contained in the subject.
