[DMANET] Two postdoc positions at Warwick

Dear colleagues,

we have two postdoc openings in the area of discrete mathematics
at the University of Warwick. The details follow. In order to be
considered for both positions one needs to apply for each of them
separately.

Best regards,

Dan Kral and Oleg Pikhurko



Research Fellow
Department of Mathematics

GBP 27,854 - 36,298 pa

Fixed term contract for 36 months

For a project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), we are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to work in extremal combinatorics under supervision of Oleg Pikhurko. While the main directions of the project will be asymptotic extremal problems for graphs and k-uniform hypergraphs (such as the Turan function and Ramsey numbers), previous experience in these areas is not required.

More importantly, we will be looking for the depth of your research and your proficiency in applying probabilistic, analytic, or algebraic methods to problems of discrete mathematics. In particular, a familiarity with regularity lemmas, graph limits, or flag algebras will be a strong asset.

The starting date for this position is between 1 October 2013 and 1 January 2014.

Candidates should send a CV and a list of publications (that includes a short annotation of at most three of their best papers) to Georgina Copeland (Georgina.Copeland@warwick.ac.uk). Candidates are also encouraged to send a research statement.

Research Fellow
Department of Computer Science

GBP 27,854 - 36,298 pa

Fixed Term Contract until 30 November 2015

You will be expected to perform high quality research in algorithm design and extremal combinatorics under the supervision of Professor Daniel Kral within the framework of an ERC funded project "Classes of Combinatorial Objects: from Structure to Algorithms" (CCOSA).

You will possess a PhD or an equivalent qualification in Mathematics or Computer Science and have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: graph theory, extremal combinatorics, model theory and fixed parameter tractability. The post is based in Department of Computer Science but a close interaction with members of Warwick Mathematics Institute and members of the DIMAP centre is expected.

Please note that this post is available from 1 September 2013 until 30 November 2015, although the start date can be negotiated for the right candidate.

Candidates should provide with their application form a CV, a list of publications and a research statement.
