University of Sheffield, a world top 100 University. We are looking to hire
two lecturers and one lecturer/senior lecturer:
* Lecturer in algorithms:

* Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Algorithms:
https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CQL118/lecturer-senior-lecturer-in-algorithms
Working in the Department of Computer Science, you will join our
established Algorithms Group. The group focuses on the design and analysis
of algorithms which provably solve computational problems efficiently and
theory of hardness of computation. The role of Lecturer is equivalent to
Assistant Professor and the role of Senior Lecturer is equivalent to
Associate Professor.
The University of Sheffield aims to be at the forefront of algorithms and
complexity theory research, and has identified the Algorithms Group as an
area for prioritised growth. Accordingly, we are seeking to appoint two
Lecturers and one Lecturer/Senior lecturer working in the design and
analysis of algorithms and complexity theory, with specialist expertise in
an area including, but not limited to:
* Computational complexity
- Communication, query, circuit, algebraic and proof complexity,
- Coding theory,
- Fine-grained complexity,
- Quantum computing and quantum information theory.
* Algorithm design and analysis
- Randomised algorithms, approximation algorithms, parameterized
complexity and fixed-parameter tractable algorithms,
- Streaming algorithms and sublinear-time algorithms,
- Online algorithms, learning augmented algorithms,
- Combinatorial optimisation,
- Distributed computing.
* Algorithms for artificial Intelligence
- Theoretical foundations of algorithms for AI,
- Theory of bio-inspired optimisation algorithms and evolutionary
computation,
- Randomised search heuristics,
- Automated algorithm selection, generation and configuration (parameter
tuning).
* Algorithmic game theory
- Mechanism design and combinatorial auctions.
Sheffield provides a great environment for computer science research. In
the recent UK Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), 99% of our research
was rated in the highest two categories (4* and 3*), meaning that it is
classed as world-leading or internationally excellent. Half of our research
outputs were judged to be world-leading. We were rated as 8th in the UK
(out of 90 institutions) for the quality of our research environment, and
70% of our impact was judged to be outstanding.
You will hold a PhD in computer science or a related area, and you will be
able to conduct research to the highest standards. You will secure research
funding, publish in high impact journals and conferences, supervise
research students and manage research projects. As a teacher, you will play
a key role in maintaining our reputation for high-quality teaching by
designing, delivering and assessing undergraduate and postgraduate-level
courses in computer science. We seek candidates who will be able to make a
distinctive individual contribution to our algorithms and complexity
research portfolio.
Please apply using the links above. Deadline: 5th July 2022.
