This is an exciting opportunity for a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in
Algorithms at the University of Sheffield, an internationally renowned
institution. Working in the Department of Computer Science, you will join
our Foundations of Computation (FOX) Group led by Professor Georg Struth.
Its research topics range from the theoretical mathematical foundations
that underpin computer science to their applications in real world
contexts. The role of Lecturer is equivalent to Assistant Professor; that
of a Senior Lecturer to Associate Professor.
The FOX is one of the largest and most diverse research groups of its type
in the UK. We are therefore seeking to appoint a Lecturer or Senior
Lecturer to strengthen and/or complement our work in the design and
analysis of algorithms and complexity theory, with specialist expertise in
an area including, but not limited to:
*Computational complexity*
- Communication, query, circuit, algebraic and proof complexity,
- Coding theory,
- Fine-grained complexity,
- Quantum computing and quantum information theory.
*Algorithm design and analysis*
- Randomised algorithms,
- Approximation algorithms,
- Parameterized complexity and fixed-parameter tractability,
- Data structures,
- Streaming algorithms and sublinear-time algorithms,
- Online algorithms, learning augmented algorithms,
- Combinatorial optimisation,
- Mathematical optimization and linear programming,
- Distributed computing.
*Algorithms for artificial intelligence*
- Theoretical foundations of algorithms for AI,
- Theory of bio-inspired optimisation algorithms and evolutionary
computation,
- Randomised search heuristics,
- Automated algorithm selection, generation, and configuration
(parameter tuning).
*Algorithmic game theory*
- Mechanism design and combinatorial auctions.
You will hold a PhD in computer science or a related area, and you will be
able to conduct research to the highest standards. You will secure research
funding, publish in high impact journals and conferences, supervise
research students, and manage research projects. As a teacher, you will
play a key role in maintaining our reputation for high-quality teaching by
designing, delivering, and assessing undergraduate and postgraduate-level
courses in computer science. We seek candidates who will be able to make a
distinctive individual contribution to our algorithms research portfolio.
We're one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.
The University's Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a
generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to
a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and
professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from
across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to
greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater
impact through research, teaching, and student experience.
