The Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen is 
seeking candidates for a full professorship in Theoretical Computer 
Science (TCS). More specifically, we are inviting exceptional candidates 
from the broad fields of algorithms, complexity, and cryptography 
including privacy.

We are looking for an outstanding, experienced researcher with an 
innovative mind-set and intellectual curiosity to strengthen and 
complement the research profile of the Algorithms and Complexity 
Section, headed by Professor Mikkel Thorup. The Algorithms and 
Complexity Section is part of an exciting environment including the 
Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre, joint with the IT 
University of Copenhagen, and involving extensive collaborations with 
the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Lund University on the 
Swedish side of the Oresund Bridge. We aim to attract top talent from 
around the world to an ambitious, creative, collaborative, and fun 
environment. Using the power of mathematics, we strive to create 
fundamental breakthroughs in algorithms and complexity theory, but we 
also have a track record of start-ups and surprising algorithmic 
discoveries leading to major industrial applications.

The University of Copenhagen was founded in 1479 and is the oldest and 
largest university in Denmark. It is often ranked as the best university 
in Scandinavia and consistently as one of the top places in Europe. 
Within computer science, it is ranked number 1 in the European Union 
(post-Brexit) by the Shanghai Ranking.

The department offers a friendly and thriving international research and 
working environment with opportunities to build up internationally 
competitive research groups. Working conditions at the University of 
Copenhagen support a healthy work-life balance and Copenhagen is a 
family-friendly capital city.

The application deadline is May 24, 2020. See
