Subject: [DMANET] Postdoc position in Algorithms and Optimization at the 
London School of Economics
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2020 10:05:56 +0000
From: Vegh,L <L.Vegh at lse.ac.uk>
To: dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de <dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de>


Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research fellowship in the 
Mathematics Department at the London School of Economics and Political 
Science. The position is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) 
Starting Grant 'Scaling Methods for Discrete and Continuous 
Optimization' held by Laszlo Vegh.

The project focuses on problems and methods on the interface between 
discrete and continuous optimization. A key goal is to further our 
understanding of strongly polynomial computability, including making 
progress towards the important open question of finding a strongly 
polynomial algorithm for linear programming.

Areas of particular interest include: efficient algorithms for linear 
and convex programming, and the geometry of linear and convex programs; 
strongly polynomial computability; mean payoff games and tropical linear 
programming; polynomial-time exact and approximation algorithms for 
network optimization problems; market equilibrium computation.

The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of an 
extension. The starting date is flexible. The closing date for 
applications is 24th January 2020 (23.59 UK time).
