A three-year postdoctoral position will be available within the 
bilateral DFG+AEI project «SRC-ExCo- Structure, Randomness and 
Computational Methods in Extremal Combinatorics» between the 
Combinatorics and Graph Theory research group at the Freie Universität 
Berlin and the Geometric, Algebraic and Probabilisitc Combinatorics 
group at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain). The 
project is lead by Tibor Szabó (FU Berlin node) and Juanjo Rué (UPC node).


The successful candidate will undertake the initial 18 months of the 
postdoctoral research at UPC. Pending a positive midterm evaluation, the 
postdoctoral position will be followed by the subsequent 18 months at FU 
Berlin.
