Subject: [DMANET] Postdoc position in dynamic algorithms at the 
University of Warwick, UK (application deadline: October 6, 2019)
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2019 19:26:10 +0000
From: Bhattacharya, Sayan <S.Bhattacharya at warwick.ac.uk>
To: dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de <dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de>

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in the area of the dynamic 
algorithms is available at the University of Warwick, UK for 2 years. 
The start date can be negotiated for the successful candidate.

The position is available in connection with an EPSRC research grant of 
Dr Sayan Bhattacharya on the theory and applications of dynamic 
algorithms. The primary focus in this research area is to design 
algorithms that can efficiently maintain (approximately) optimal 
solutions to classical optimisation problems in a scenario where the 
input data keeps changing with time. The main objective of the post is 
to pursue cutting-edge research in this area.

You will need to have a strong background in theoretical computer 
science, with a specialization either in dynamic algorithms or in 
related areas such as approximation, online, distributed, streaming and 
FPT algorithms.

You will need to have (or expect to obtain shortly) a PhD in the 
relevant area.

You should provide with your application form a CV, including a list of 
publications and the names and contact details of three references, and 
a research statement.


You will be formally based in the Department of Computer Science at the 
University of Warwick, and you will be associated with the Centre for 
Discrete Mathematics and its Applications 
(http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/dimap) and the Division of 
Theory and Foundations at the University of Warwick.

The Centre for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) is an 
internationally renowned centre of excellence in algorithms, discrete 
mathematics and combinatorics, theoretical computer science and 
mathematical aspects of operational research. It is led by a number of 
internationally recognized researchers and has an extensive programme of 
scientific seminars, international workshops and conferences, and 
visiting researchers.


The Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick is one 
of the top-ranking computing departments in the United Kingdowm. In the 
most recent national research evaluation exercise published in 2014 (REF 
2014), the Department was ranked 2nd of all UK computer science 
departments. The department is especially renowned for its excellence in 
theoretical aspects of computer science. For further information about 
computer science at Warwick, please see our website
