[Job-offers-cs] Postdoc opportunity at LSE Mathematics - deadline 21 December 2023

[Pekka Orponen]

Hello,

LSE’s Department of Mathematics is looking to appoint a Research Officer 
to contribute to the EPSRC New Investigator Award “New perspectives 
towards Woodall’s conjecture and the Generalised Berge-Fulkerson 
conjecture”, working with Principal Investigator Dr Ahmad Abdi. The 
project will take an optimisation-inspired approach towards the 
conjectures and related problems. The anticipated start date is 1 
October 2024, but earlier or later start dates may be possible. More 
information about the scope of the project and the research interests of 
the PI can be found on this<https://ahmadabdi.com/NIA.html webpage.

The successful applicant will hold (or be near completion of) a PhD in a 
discipline relevant to mathematical optimisation, such as Mathematics, 
Computer Science, or Operations Research by post start date. They will 
demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and experience in the theoretical 
understanding of fundamental problems in combinatorial optimisation, and 
its connections to other areas such as graph theory, integer 
programming, and submodular optimisation. They will show evidence of 
developing a body of good quality publications, in well-recognised peer 
reviewed outlets, through independent original research.
