[DMANET] PhD position at Universitat Pompeu Fabra

A fully funded Ph.D. position in theoretical computer science is available
at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. The successful candidate will be
advised by Victor Dalmau. The topic of the Ph.D. is relatively flexible.
Natural choices include Constraint Satisfaction Problems or Database
Theory, but other mutually agreeable topics in theoretical computer science
are also possible. Have a look at the list of publications of Victor Dalmau
at https://dblp.org/ to have a sample of his recent research interests.

A primary criterion for the position is a strong academic background in
mathematics and/or theoretical computer science. Ideally, candidates should
hold an undergraduate degree in mathematics. However, candidates with an
undergraduate degree in computer science will also be considered, provided
they can demonstrate a strong background in theoretical computer
science—for example, through a bachelor's or master's thesis on the subject.

The position includes some teaching duties. Specifically, candidates will
be expected to serve as a teaching assistant for 45 hours/year.
Key Dates:

For full consideration, please apply by the deadline of March 15, 2025. The
