[DMANET] Algorithms research positions within ERC project in Venice, Italy

Dear colleagues,

I'm looking to recruit one assistant professor (3+2 years; RTD-A in Italian
regulation) and several postdocs (up to 3 years each) starting as soon as
September 1st, 2022 (or later) within my ERC StG project REGINDEX (
https://pric.unive.it/projects/regindex). A PhD in Computer Science or
Mathematics is preferred (but not strictly required) for the postdocs,
while a PhD in Computer Science is required for the assistant professor.
The research will take place in the scientific campus of Ca' Foscari
University, Venice (https://apps.unive.it/mappe/sede/990025). The salary is
competitive: about 28k net per year for the postdocs (these positions are
tax-free), and 25k net per year for the assistant professor.

The research fits into the broad area of graph algorithms. The project
introduces a new technique for sorting the nodes of graphs and finite
automata in order to solve efficiently hard problems including graph
isomorphism, NFA equivalence, and compression (see
https://epubs.siam.org/doi/pdf/10.1137/1.9781611975994.55 and
https://epubs.siam.org/doi/pdf/10.1137/1.9781611976465.153 for more
details). Applications include computational pan-genomics, graph databases,
and regular expression matching. The ideal candidate should be skilled in
at least one of the following topics: algorithms, data structures, C++
programming, formal languages, data compression, bioinformatics.
Familiarity with the project's topics and techniques is not a requirement:
anyone interested in the broad topics of graph algorithms and/or formal
languages is welcome to apply.

If you are interested in the positions or know anyone that might be, do not
hesitate to send me an email: nicola.prezza@unive.it

thanks!
Nicola
