field of *Computational Complexity*, is looking to hire one PhD student.
The position is planned to begin in March 2025, but a bit earlier or a
bit later would be OK.
Candidates are expected to have a MSc in Mathematics, with emphasis on
Discrete Mathematics, Combinatorics, Convex Optimization, etc, or
Computer Science, with emphasis on Theoretical Computer Science.
Your advisor will be Bruno Loff, you can check his webpage at:
https://brunoloff.wordpress.com
The position will be hosted on the Department of Mathematics of the
Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.
The department is currently hosting the HoFGA project, which means that
during your PhD we will have a team of 3-6 people working in
Computational Complexity. Also the Computational Complexity Conference
will happen in Lisbon in 2026. The project will pay for your salary, at
the level of MSc research assistant. You will be expected to TA for the
course Computational Complexity, but no other (though you can do a few
more hours if you want to teach, or for extra salary).
Interested candidates please send an email to bruno.loff@gmail.com, with
a statement of intent/letter of motivation, a CV including favorite
