Subject: 	[DMANET] Postdoctoral position at the Czech Technical 
University in Prague
Date: 	Tue, 20 Dec 2022 13:44:17 +0100
From: 	Tomas Valla <valla at kam.mff.cuni.cz>
To: 	DMANET at zpr.uni-koeln.de


A one-year full-time postdoc position (with probable extension) is 
available in
the G2OAT research group at the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU),
Czech Republic with a preferred starting date of April 2023 (slightly
negotiable). The research interests of the group range from graph 
algorithms,
through classical and parameterized complexity and integer linear 
programming
to combinatorial games.
The prospective mentor for the position is Tomáš Valla. The main topic 
for the
project is in the algorithmic and combinatorial game theory, with 
extension to
related fields like approximation algorithms or parameterized complexity.

The research group Graphs, Games, Optimization, Algorithms, and Theoretical
Computer Science (G2OAT) is a part of the Department of Theoretical Computer
Science at the Faculty of Information Technology at CTU. The department also
includes Stringology and Arborology research groups. The G2OAT research 
group
is rather small, comprising 2 associate professors, 3 assistant 
professors, 3
postdocs, and 3 Ph.D. students. A successful candidate will work at 
CTU's main
campus which features a range of amenities such as the National Technical
Library, and a laid-back atmosphere with cafes and other social hangout 
places.

The successful candidate will get a monthly salary of 65 thousand CZK (about
2650 EUR) (the Czech Republic's cost of living is at 66% of the US price 
level
according to the OECD statistics). There are no teaching duties 
associated with this
position. The position is institutionally funded, i.e., funded by the Czech
Technical University in Prague.

We are seeking highly motivated individuals holding a Ph.D. in computer
science, discrete mathematics, or related areas.
The applicants are expected to have a strong background in 
combinatorics, graph
theory, foundations of algorithmic game theory or combinatorial game theory.
Additionally, specialization in the following areas is a bonus: graph
algorithms, cops-and-robber-type problems, computational complexity or
approximation algorithms, Ramsey theory and positional games. The 
candidate's
high scientific potential should be witnessed by publications in the area of
algorithms or discrete math in impacted journals and in proceedings of 
highly
ranked international conferences.

The successful candidate must:

* Be a researcher who has received a Ph.D. or its equivalent within the 
last 7 years
* have a strong publication record (with at least two publications in a 
journal
with IF), and
* be fluent in English (both written and spoken), prior knowledge of 
Czech is
not required.

The closing date is January 9, 2023.
The preliminary communication and informal inquiries should be sent to 
tomas.valla at fit.cvut.cz.
The final submission should be done according to the instructions at
https://fit.cvut.cz/en/life-at-fit/fit-live/news/18972-available-postdoc-positions-at-fit>However, 
it is strongly recommended that the applicant sends at least the CV
and motivation letter in advance before the deadline to the address 
tomas.valla at fit.cvut.cz,
where the interested candidate is also encouraged to make informal 
inquiries.
Also, if you are interested and you cannot meet this deadline, don't 
hesitate to
contact us at the mentioned address: there will be another call during 
spring.
