[DMANET] Postdoc position in algorithms and complexity at University of Edinburgh

A postdoc position in algorithms and complexity is available at the School
of Informatics, University of Edinburgh. The position is funded by the ERC
Consolidator Grant ALUnif (Algorithms and Lower Bounds: A Unified
Approach), held by Rahul Santhanam.

The goal of the project is to use recently discovered connections between
complexity lower bound techniques and algorithmic design and analysis to
design new and improved algorithms for SAT and other NP-complete problems,
as well as to prove new complexity lower bounds.

Candidates should have a strong background in theoretical computer
science, preferably in complexity theory and/or exact algorithms for
NP-hard problems. Candidates should also have a PhD, or be close to
completion of a PhD.

The application deadline is March 19, 2015, and the application link is
here:
