Technology

The Theory Group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology invites applications for up to four postdoctoral positions in theoretical computer science.

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is the leading technical university in Sweden. The Theoretical Computer Science Group at KTH (www.csc.kth.se/tcs) offers a strong research environment spanning a wide range of research topics such as complexity theory and approximation algorithms, computer and network security, cryptography, formal methods and natural language processing. We have one of Europe's most prominent groups in algorithms and complexity theory, and the research conducted here has attracted numerous international awards and grants in recent years.

The postdoc positions are in the area of computational complexity theory, focusing on questions at the intersection of approximation algorithms, subexponential algorithms, and proof complexity. Examples of topics of particular interest are the use of linear and semidefinite programming to solve hard combinatorial problems, or of proof complexity to prove that the problems are beyond the reach of such methods. Exciting recent developments have identified the so-called sums of squares hierarchy as a unifying theme for these questions, and one aim of our research is to build and expand on this theme. However, we will also freely explore whatever other methods turn out to be helpful for attacking these and other topics of interest in algorithms and complexity theory.

This research project is led by Johan Hastad, Per Austrin, and Jakob Nordstrom, and is financed by grants from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the European Research Council, and the Swedish Research Council.

In addition to the PIs, the research project is planned to involve a total of 4-5 postdocs and 5-7 PhD students. Thus, this will be a unique opportunity to explore new connections between different subareas of complexity theory within a vibrant and growing research environment.

Within the overall framework sketched above, the postdoc will be expected and encouraged to contribute to and influence the research agenda. Taking part in teaching graduate seminar courses is encouraged but not required. Travel funding is included, and the group also receives short-term and long-term visitors on a regular basis.

These postdoc positions are full-time employed positions for one year with a possible one-year extension. The expected starting date is in August-September 2017, although this is to some extent negotiable.

The application deadline is January 15, 2017. See http://apc.csc.kth.se/D-2016-0871-Eng.php for the full announcement with more information and instructions for how to apply. Informal enquiries are welcome and may be sent to apc@csc.kth.se.

However, we will also freely explore whatever other methods turn out to be helpful for attacking these and other topics of interest in algorithms and complexity theory. The overarching goal is to understand fundamental properties of efficient computation by proving mathematical theorems about the power and limitations of different computational models.

This research project is led by Johan Hastad, Per Austrin, and Jakob Nordstrom, and is financed by grants from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the European Research Council, and the Swedish Research Council.

In addition to the PIs and the announced PhD positions, the research project will also involve 2-3 existing PhD students and 3-4 postdocs. Thus, this will be a unique opportunity to explore new connections between different subareas of complexity theory within a vibrant and growing research environment.

These are a four-year full-time employed position, but PhD positions usually (though not necessarily) include 20% teaching, in which case they are prolonged for one more year. The successful candidates are expected to start at the latest in August-September 2017, although this is to some extent negotiable. The positions are fully funded and come with a competitive salary.

The application deadline is January 15, 2017. See http://apc.csc.kth.se/D-2016-0832-Eng.php for the full announcement with more information and instructions how to apply. Informal enquiries about this position are welcome and may be sent to apc@csc.kth.se .

% ALGORITHMIC AND ENUMERATIVE COMBINATORICS %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


The Special Research Program (SFB) "ALGORITHMIC AND ENUMERATIVE
COMBINATORICS," a four-year programme (March 1, 2017 - Feb. 28, 2021)
funded by the Austrian Science Foundation FWF, is offering post-
and pre-doctoral positions at each of its five associated research
groups at the University of Vienna, at the Johannes Kepler University
Linz (JKU), at the Vienna University of Technology, and at the Austrian
Academy of Sciences in Linz.

"Algorithmic and Enumerative Combinatorics," as we understand it,
is the general research area which is defined by the interplay
of the fields of Enumerative Combinatorics, Analytic Combinatorics,
and Algorithmics.
The SFB joins the forces of the Combinatorics Group at the University
of Vienna, the Combinatorics and Algorithms Group at the Vienna
University of Technology, and the joint Symbolic Combinatorics Group
in Linz formed by the RISC and the Institute for Algebra at the
Johannes Kepler University Linz, and the RICAM at the Austrian Academy
of Sciences, in order to significantly advance our knowledge
in this branch of Combinatorics and related fields.

The SFB consists of nine project parts, run by:

Michael Drmota (TU Wien)
Ilse Fischer (Universit\"at Wien)
Bernhard Gittenberger (TU Wien)
Manuel Kauers (Institute for Algebra, JKU)
Christoph Koutschan (RICAM Linz)
Christian Krattenthaler (Universit\"at Wien)
Peter Paule (RISC, JKU)
Veronika Pillwein (RISC, JKU)
Carsten Schneider (RISC, JKU)

For more specific information see the SFB WWW Site

https://www.sfb050.risc.jku.at/

We explicitly encourage female researchers to apply for the offered
positions. We guarantee that the selection process, based solely on
the research records, will give equal opportunities to female and
male researchers.

Interested applicants should submit an application with
CV, list of publications, an indication with whom the applicant
would like to work (multiple choice is possible),
and in addition ask 2 (for postdocs), respectively 1 (for pre-docs),
people to send letters of evaluation,
no later than

JANUARY 31, 2017.

The application should be done using the website

https://www.sfb050.risc.jku.at/application

Late applications will be considered until all the positions are filled.

For more detailed information see the SFB WWW Site

https://www.sfb050.risc.jku.at/

General enquiries about the programme and the opportunities it is
offering for early career researchers should be made in the
first instance to the Speaker of the SFB, Christian Krattenthaler
(Christian.Krattenthaler@univie.ac.at).
