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

The postdoctoral researchers will be working in 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 and IJCAI. We are part 
of an exciting environment including the Basic Algorithms Research 
Copenhagen (BARC) centre (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. While the focus in on theoretical research, we do have a track 
record of 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 one in the European Union 
(post-Brexit) in the Shanghai Ranking.

These postdoc positions are full-time employed positions for two years. 
The expected starting date is October 2020, although this is to some 
extent negotiable. We are currently expanding strongly in computer 
science, and expect to have tenure-track openings in theoretical 
computer science in the near future. We welcome postdoctoral researchers 
interested in exploring such opportunities.

The application deadline is July 6, 2020. See 
https://employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=151975 for the full announcement 
with more information and instructions for how to apply. Informal 
enquiries are welcome and may be sent to Mikkel Thorup 
(mthorup at di.ku.dk) or Jakob Nordstrom (jn at di.ku.dk).
