[Apologies for multiple postings]

This is an exciting opportunity for a Lecturer in Algorithms at the 
University of Sheffield, UK,  a world top 100 University. Working in the 
Department of Computer Science, you will join our established Algorithms 
Group. The group focuses on the design and analysis of algorithms which 
provably solve computational problems efficiently.

The Department is embarking on an exciting growth strategy following our 
strong performance in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, in 
which we were ranked 5th out of 89 computer science departments in the 
UK. To build upon our continued success, we seek to appoint a Lecturer 
in the design and analysis of algorithms, with specialist expertise in 
an area including, but not limited to:

    - randomised algorithms
    - streaming algorithms and sublinear-time algorithms
    - combinatorial optimisation
    - approximation algorithms
    - parameterised complexity and fixed-parameter tractable algorithms
    - distributed computing
    - graph algorithms analysis
    - data structures design and analysis
    - algorithmic game theory
    - randomised search heuristics

You will hold a PhD in computer science or a related area, and you will 
be able to conduct research to the highest standards. You will secure 
research funding, publish in high impact journals and conferences, 
supervise research students and manage research projects. As a teacher, 
you will play a key role in maintaining our reputation for high-quality 
teaching by designing, delivering and assessing undergraduate and 
postgraduate-level courses in computer science. We seek candidates who 
will be able to make a distinctive individual contribution to our 
algorithms research portfolio.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the 
UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, 
a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as 
access to a range of learning and development courses to support your 
personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles whose 
talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We 
believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through 
research, teaching and student experience. The Department of Computer 
Science holds a Silver Athena SWAN award, in recognition of our 
commitment to equality and diversity.

This role has been identified as a full-time post, but we are committed 
to exploring flexible working opportunities with our staff which benefit 
both the individual and the University. We would be pleased to consider 
flexible delivery of the role subject to meeting the business needs of 
the post. For more information:
