[Job-offers-cs] Postdoc and PhD positions in TCS and/or combinatorial optimization at University of Copenhagen

[Pekka Orponen]

The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of 
Copenhagen invites applications for several postdoc and PhD positions in 
theoretical computer science and/or combinatorial optimization.


The postdocs and PhD students will be part of a world-leading research 
environment in algorithms and complexity theory. We are home to the 
Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre (barc.ku.dk) joint 
with the IT University of Copenhagen (ITU), and have extensive 
collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and with 
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 our focus in on 
foundational 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 2nd in the European Union 
(post-Brexit) by ShanghaiRanking.

The postdoc positions are full-time research positions for an intended 
duration of 2 years, and the PhD positions are for a period of 3-5 
years, depending on the current education level of the applicant. All 
our openings are for fully funded, employed positions, that come with an 
internationally competitive salary and include travel funding. The 
starting date is negotiable, but the default would be August-September 2024.

The application deadline for all positions is January 10, 2024. For more
