The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of 
Copenhagen invites applications for postdoctoral positions in 
theoretical computer science.

We are looking for outstanding junior researchers with an innovative 
mind-set and intellectual curiosity to strengthen and complement the 
research profile of the Algorithms and Complexity Section at DIKU. This 
is one of the leading research groups in theoretical computer science in 
Europe, with a strong presence at top-tier conferences like STOC, FOCS, 
and SODA, and also with publications in premier AI conferences like 
AAAI, IJCAI, and NeurIPS. We are part of an exciting environment 
including the Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre 
(https://barc.ku.dk/), joint with the IT University of Copenhagen, and 
have extensive collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark 
(DTU) and Lund University on the Swedish side of the Oresund Bridge, as 
well as with our many visitors. 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 currently number 1 in the European Union 
(post-Brexit) according to the Shanghai Ranking.

These postdoc positions are full-time employed positions. The starting 
date is flexible from April to September 2021, and the intended duration 
is 2 years. The University of Copenhagen is currently expanding strongly 
in computer science. We expect to have tenure-track openings in 
theoretical computer science in the coming years, and welcome 
postdoctoral researchers interested in exploring such opportunities.

The application deadline is January 24, 2021. See 
https://employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=153103 for the full announcement 
with more information and instructions for how to apply. Informal 
enquiries are welcome and may be sent to Jakob Nordström (jn at di.ku.dk), 
Rasmus Pagh (pagh at di.ku.dk), Mikkel Thorup (mthorup at di.ku.dk) or 
Christian Wulff-Nilsen (koolooz at di.ku.dk).
