Engineering- 27814
Description


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 algorithmic operations research with an emphasis 
on computational complexity and game theory. The position is funded by 
NSF (Algorithmic Foundations) and is concerned with the designing 
efficient algorithms and establishing the computational complexity of 
selected quantified polyhedral programs.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to the following: 
conducting research on quantified polyhedral programming and quantified 
circuits; attending research conferences, reading scientific literature 
to keep abreast of technological advances and current research findings 
and teaching one course in theoretical computer science.

The position is funded for two years starting January 1, 2026 (although 
a later start date can be accommodated). A one-year extension is 
possible based on performance and the availability of funds.

West Virginia University is the comprehensive Land Grant University of

students, and a Carnegie Classification of Highest Research Activity (R1 
University). The community lies within a high technology corridor that 
also includes several federal research facilities, such as the U.S. 
Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory, NASA’s 
Independent Verification and Validation Facility (IV&V), the National 
Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the FBI, as well 
as private industry. The city is located within reasonable driving 
distances from Pittsburgh, PA and Washington, DC. Additional details on 
the area and the university are available at

Qualifications


A PhD in computer science or operations research and expertise in the 
areas of computational complexity and game theory are required. Support 
will be provided by a graduate student, but the design work is the 
responsibility of the Principal Investigator and the postdoc.
