WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
BENJAMIN M. STATLER COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MINERAL RESOURCES
LANE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

The Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in 
the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at 
West Virginia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow 
in the general area of Theoretical Computer Science. This position 
supports research initiatives related to the design and analysis of 
parameterized and approximation algorithms and computational complexity. 
The period of this appointment is for one year and the anticipated start 
date is August 15, 2021. However, earlier start dates can be accommodated.

Applicants must have a PhD in theoretical computer science, operations 
research or mathematics, with a background in parameterized algorithm 
design and parameterized complexity. Two years of experience with 
approximation algorithms, computational complexity and operations 
research is also required as is a record of research publications in 
scientific journals.  All applicants must be capable of completing the 
assigned tasks within the United States.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to the following: 
conducting research on parameterized algorithms and complexity; guiding 
graduate and/or undergraduate students; liaison with other researchers 
from national labs, academia, and industry on all aspects related to 
this work and write proposals to seek funding; attending research 
conferences and reading of scientific literature to keep abreast of 
technological advances and latest research findings; searching 
scientific literature to select and adapt methods or procedures that are 
most appropriate for specific research goals.

West Virginia University is the State's comprehensive Land Grant 
University with an enrollment of about 29,000 students and a R1 Carnegie 
Classification. Morgantown and its vicinity have a diverse population of
