The CS departments at the University of Copenhagen and Lund University 
announce openings for:
- Postdocs in TCS: 
http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/openings/Postdoc-TCS-DIKU-200210.php
- PhD students in TCS: 
http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/openings/PhD-TCS-DIKU-200210.php
- Postdocs in SAT solving and combinatorial optimization: 
http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/openings/Postdoc-SAT-LTH-200210.php
- PhD students in SAT solving and combinatorial optimization: 
http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/openings/PhD-SAT-LTH-200210.php

The successful applicants will be working in the research group of Jakob 
Nordstrom (http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/), which is currently in 
transition from KTH to a combined location in Copenhagen and Lund. This 
is an exciting environment including the Basic Algorithms Research 
Copenhagen (BARC) centre (https://barc.ku.dk/) at the University of 
Copenhagen, joint with the IT University of Copenhagen, and extensive 
collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Lund 
University on the Swedish side of the Oresund bridge.

Candidates need to have a strong background in mathematics, and for the 
more applied positions also excellent programming skills. Broadly 
speaking, the aim of the research is to use mathematical tools to 
analyse rigorously the power and limitations of methods employed in 
current cutting-edge combinatorial optimization algorithms, and to 
harness the insights gained in order to design new algorithms that go 
significantly beyond the state of the art.

The application deadline is February 10, 2020, for all positions. 
Informal enquiries are welcome and may be sent to jn at di.ku.dk or
