The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of
Copenhagen invites applications for postdoc positions in
combinatorial optimization.<br>
<br>
We are looking for outstanding junior researchers with an
innovative mind-set and intellectual curiosity to strengthen and
complement the research profile of the Mathematical Insights into
Algorithms for Optimization (MIAO) group headed by Jakob Nordstrom
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.jakobnordstrom.se/">http://www.jakobnordstrom.se/</a> which is active at both the
University of Copenhagen and Lund University on either side of the
Oresund Bridge.<br>
<br>
The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing
cutting-edge research both on the mathematical foundations of
efficient computation and on state-of-the-art practical algorithms
for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment,
where we do not only conduct in-depth research on different
theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of
research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting
synergies often arise. Much of the activities of the group revolve
around powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean
satisfiability (SAT) solving, Groebner basis computations, integer
linear programming, and constraint programming. This leads to
classical questions in computational complexity theory—though
often with new, fascinating twists—but also involves work on
devising clever algorithms that can exploit the power of such
paradigms in practice.<br>
<br>
We are fortunate to be part of the Algorithms and Complexity
Section at DIKU, which is world-leading in algorithms and
complexity theory (currently ranked 6th worldwide by
CSrankings.org). DIKU hosts the Basic Algorithms Research
Copenhagen (BARC) centre joint with the IT University of
Copenhagen, and we also 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 the focus
in on foundational research, we do have a track record of
surprising algorithmic discoveries leading to major industrial
applications.<br>
<br>
These postdoc positions are full-time research positions for a
duration of two years. Teaching of advanced courses is encouraged
but not required. Travel funding is included, and we also expect
to start receiving visitors again on a regular basis as the
pandemic situation is now improving. The starting date would
ideally be in early 2022 but is flexible.<br>
<br>
The University of Copenhagen is currently expanding strongly in
computer science. We expect to have tenure-track openings in in
the coming years, and welcome postdoctoral researchers interested
in exploring such opportunities.<br>
<br>
The application deadline is November 28, 2021. See

how to apply. Informal enquiries are welcome and may be sent to
