[DMANET] Postdoc positions in Budapest (parameterized complexity & algorithms)

Postdoc positions are available at the Computer and Automation Research
Institute (Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Budapest, Hungary, supported
by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant PARAMTIGHT:
"Parameterized complexity and the search for tight complexity results"
held by Dániel Marx. The goal of the project is to systematically push
the boundaries of algorithmic and hardess results, mostly in the
framework of parameterized complexity, with the aim of obtaining
tight results that give an optimal understanding of the complexity of a
problem.

The candidates should have a PhD degree in Computer Science or related
area; research experience at postdoctoral level is of advantage. A
successful candidate should have excellent knowledge of algorithms
and/or complexity, preferably in the setting of parameterized complexity
and fixed-parameter tractability. Strong background in graph theory,
combinatorics, constraint satisfaction, approximation, or kernelization
is of advantage.

The earliest starting date is January 2012. The review of applicants
will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
Applications received by 1 November 2012 will receive full
consideration. Informal inquires by email are welcome.
