postdoc position(s) at IRIF (LIAFA), Paris, France

The Algorithms and Complexity group of IRIF - previously LIAFA -
(CNRS and University Paris Diderot), Paris, France, is seeking excellent 
candidates for one or more postdoctoral positions. The financing of this position 
is provided by the ANR grant RDAM joint to that group and the Talgo team of the 
Computer Science Department at the Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris. 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 
algorithms, streaming algorithms,  approximation algorithms, online algorithms, 
computational game theory; and the application to those areas, or the 
development, of complexity tools such as communication complexity or 
information theory.

The successful candidate will be based at the Algorithms and Complexity 
group of IRIF, but will be expected to interact also with the Talgo team
(located just 15 minutes away), and to work jointly with members of
both teams.

IRIF is a joint laboratory of the CNRS (the French National Center
for Scientific Research) and University Paris Diderot - Paris 7.
