[DMANET] postdoc positions at the Algorithms and Complexity group of IRIF, Paris, France

The Algorithms and Complexity group ( https://www.irif.fr/en/equipes/algocomp/index ) of IRIF (CNRS and Université Paris Cité), Paris, France ( https://www.irif.fr/en/index ), is seeking excellent candidates for one or more 1- or 2-year postdoctoral positions in classical and quantum computing. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): algorithms, approximation algorithms, online algorithms, streaming algorithms, distributed algorithms, communication complexity, query complexity, circuit complexity, metacomplexity, randomness in computing, computational game theory, cryptography (including post-quantum cryptography), quantum computing, quantum algorithms, and quantum communication. The Algorithm and Complexity group may also have additional topic-specific openings which will be announced separately with separate deadlines, including (but probably not restricted to) a call on the theory of quantum computing, or on communication complexity. Applications to the present call from candidates having relevant expertise will also be considered for these specific openings. IRIF is a joint laboratory of the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) and Université Paris Cité. For more information about IRIF, please see https://www.irif.fr/en/index , and for more information about the Algorithms and Complexity group, please see https://www.irif.fr/en/equipes/algocomp/index . Further information may be obtained from any of the permanent members of the group. The starting date of the position(s) will usually be in October 2027 but may be negotiated. The position(s) will be financed either by the group's own resources or via joint applications of the candidate and the group to external funding sources such as the FSMP postdoctoral program (https://sciencesmaths-paris.fr/en/postdoc-fsmp). Applications should consist of a CV including a list of publications, a summary of research, and the names and email addresses of at least three references. Applications should be sent by email to algocomp-apply@irif.fr and received by October 24, 2026. ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.
