This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of the faculty at the<br>
University of Sheffield, a world top 100 University. We are
looking to hire<br>
two lecturers and one lecturer/senior lecturer:<br>
<br>
* Lecturer in algorithms:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CQL110/lecturer-in-algorithms-two-posts">https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CQL110/lecturer-in-algorithms-two-posts</a>>*
Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Algorithms:<br>

Working in the Department of Computer Science, you will join our<br>
established Algorithms Group. The group focuses on the design and
analysis<br>
of algorithms which provably solve computational problems
efficiently and<br>
theory of hardness of computation. The role of Lecturer is
equivalent to<br>
Assistant Professor and the role of Senior Lecturer is equivalent
to<br>
Associate Professor.<br>
<br>
The University of Sheffield aims to be at the forefront of
algorithms and<br>
complexity theory research, and has identified the Algorithms
Group as an<br>
area for prioritised growth. Accordingly, we are seeking to
appoint two<br>
Lecturers and one Lecturer/Senior lecturer working in the design
and<br>
analysis of algorithms and complexity theory, with specialist
expertise in<br>
an area including, but not limited to:<br>
<br>
* Computational complexity<br>
- Communication, query, circuit, algebraic and proof complexity,<br>
- Coding theory,<br>
- Fine-grained complexity,<br>
- Quantum computing and quantum information theory.<br>
<br>
* Algorithm design and analysis<br>
- Randomised algorithms, approximation algorithms, parameterized<br>
complexity and fixed-parameter tractable algorithms,<br>
- Streaming algorithms and sublinear-time algorithms,<br>
- Online algorithms, learning augmented algorithms,<br>
- Combinatorial optimisation,<br>
- Distributed computing.<br>
<br>
* Algorithms for artificial Intelligence<br>
- Theoretical foundations of algorithms for AI,<br>
- Theory of bio-inspired optimisation algorithms and evolutionary<br>
computation,<br>
- Randomised search heuristics,<br>
- Automated algorithm selection, generation and configuration
(parameter<br>
tuning).<br>
<br>
* Algorithmic game theory<br>
- Mechanism design and combinatorial auctions.<br>
<br>
Sheffield provides a great environment for computer science
research. In<br>
the recent UK Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), 99% of our
research<br>
was rated in the highest two categories (4* and 3*), meaning that
it is<br>
classed as world-leading or internationally excellent. Half of our
research<br>
outputs were judged to be world-leading. We were rated as 8th in
the UK<br>
(out of 90 institutions) for the quality of our research
environment, and<br>
70% of our impact was judged to be outstanding.<br>
<br>
You will hold a PhD in computer science or a related area, and you
will be<br>
able to conduct research to the highest standards. You will secure
research<br>
funding, publish in high impact journals and conferences,
supervise<br>
research students and manage research projects. As a teacher, you
will play<br>
a key role in maintaining our reputation for high-quality teaching
by<br>
designing, delivering and assessing undergraduate and
postgraduate-level<br>
courses in computer science. We seek candidates who will be able
to make a<br>
distinctive individual contribution to our algorithms and
complexity<br>
research portfolio.<br>
