<br>
A one-year full-time postdoc position (with probable extension) is
available in<br>
the G2OAT research group at the Czech Technical University in
Prague (CTU),<br>
Czech Republic with a preferred starting date of July 2023
(slightly<br>
negotiable). The research interests of the group range from graph
algorithms,<br>
through classical and parameterized complexity and integer linear
programming<br>
to combinatorial games.<br>
The prospective mentors for the position is Tomáš Valla and Dušan
Knop. The<br>
main topic for the project is in the algorithmic and combinatorial
game theory,<br>
with extension to related fields like approximation algorithms or
parameterized<br>
complexity.<br>
<br>
The research group Graphs, Games, Optimization, Algorithms, and
Theoretical<br>
Computer Science (G2OAT) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ggoat.fit.cvut.cz/index.html">https://ggoat.fit.cvut.cz/index.html</a> is a
part<br>
of the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty
of<br>
Information Technology at CTU. The department also includes
Stringology<br>
and Arborology research groups. The G2OAT research group is rather<br>
small, comprising 2 associate professors, 4 assistant professors,<br>
2 postdocs, and 3 Ph.D. students. A successful candidate will work
at CTU's<br>
main campus which features a range of amenities such as the
National Technical<br>
Library, and a laid-back atmosphere with cafes and other social
hangout places.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will get a monthly salary of 65 thousand
CZK (about<br>
2750 EUR) (the Czech Republic's cost of living is at 66% of the US
price level<br>
according to the OECD statistics). There are no teaching duties
associated with this<br>
position. The position is institutionally funded, i.e., funded by
the Czech<br>
Technical University in Prague.<br>
<br>
We are seeking highly motivated individuals holding a Ph.D. in
computer<br>
science, discrete mathematics, or related areas.<br>
The applicants are expected to have a strong background in
combinatorics, graph<br>
theory, foundations of algorithmic game theory or combinatorial
game theory.<br>
Additionally, specialization in the following areas is a bonus:
graph<br>
algorithms, cops-and-robber-type problems, computational
complexity or<br>
approximation algorithms, Ramsey theory and positional games. The
candidate's<br>
high scientific potential should be witnessed by publications in
the area of<br>
algorithms or discrete math in impacted journals and in
proceedings of highly<br>
ranked international conferences.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate must:<br>
<br>
* Be a researcher who has received a Ph.D. or its equivalent
within the last 7 years<br>
* have a strong publication record (with at least 3 publications
in a journal<br>
with IF), and<br>
* be fluent in English (both written and spoken), prior knowledge
of Czech is<br>
not required.<br>
<br>
The closing date is June 15, 2023.<br>
The preliminary communication and informal inquiries should be
sent to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tomas.valla@fit.cvut.cz">tomas.valla@fit.cvut.cz</a>.<br>
The final submission should be done according to the instructions
at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://international.cvut.cz/jobs-at-ctu/postdoc/">https://international.cvut.cz/jobs-at-ctu/postdoc/</a>>(here look
at the PDF document page #51) and then submitted via<br>
the email address <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:research@fit.cvut.cz">research@fit.cvut.cz</a>.<br>

However, it is strongly recommended that the applicant sends at
least the CV<br>
and motivation letter in advance before the deadline to the
address <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tomas.valla@fit.cvut.cz">tomas.valla@fit.cvut.cz</a>,<br>
where the interested candidate is also encouraged to make informal
