The Information Sciences group and the Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have an opening at a postdoctoral level. The research will involve elements of machine learning and graph theory. It will be a part of a multi-disciplinary project in high-performance simulation that is based on a dynamic graph modeling of physical processes.

Candidates are expected to have strong analytical and programming skills. The successful applicant should have a strong publication record and will be expected to publish results in high impact peer-reviewed journals and conferences. This is a long-term appointment (up to three years), so candidates who can commit to a longer time frame will be preferred. However, candidates available for shorter periods may be considered for internships.

Qualifications:

(1) A PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Mathematics;
(2) Research-level expertise in at least one of the following: machine learning, graph theory;

Two postdoc positions are available in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford as part of the ERC Starting Grant Power of Algorithms in Discrete Optimisation (PowAlgDO) led by Standa Zivny. The project will run from 01/2017 to 12/2021 and will focus on establishing the power of convex relaxations (such as linear and semidefinite programming) for various classes of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) with respect to exact and approximate solvability.

The positions are available from 1 January 2017 (or later) and will be for 3 years (with the possibility of extension). The positions comes with a travel support and no teaching duties (but the possibility of doing some teaching). The postholders will be members of Oxford's Algorithms and Complexity Theory Group.

The deadline is 30 November. Interviews will be held on 15 December.
