PhD positions in Theory and Foundations of Computer Science, Coventry (England), Deadline: 18 Dec 2020

PhD positions are available at the Theory and Foundations group in the
Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick, UK. The group works
on various aspects of theoretical computer science such as:

* automata and formal languages,
* logic and games,
* algorithmic game theory,
* online and dynamic algorithms,
* sublinear and streaming algorithms,
* parameterized complexity and structural graph theory,
* string algorithms,
* parallel algorithms,
* approximation algorithms,
* combinatorial and graph algorithms,
* random structures and randomized algorithms,
* computational complexity,
* privacy-preserving algorithms, cryptography and quantum computing.

The group has strong ties with the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and its
Applications (DIMAP), established in 2007 jointly with Warwick Mathematics
Institute and Warwick Business School. Together with DIMAP, the group is
one of the leading theory groups in Europe, with regular publications in
top international conferences and journals in theoretical computer science.

The Department of Computer Science at Warwick offers an excellent research
environment. It was ranked 2nd in the latest UK research assessment in
Research Excellence Framework (REF) in 2014. The University of Warwick is
one of the founding members of the Alan Turing Institute.

The university campus is located on the border of two counties, West
Midlands and Warwickshire, is about one hour train ride from London, and 15
minutes from Birmingham International Airport.

The applicants are expected to have a strong background in discrete
mathematics, algorithms, or related topics with undergraduate and/or
Master's degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, or related disciplines.
The position(s) will be fully funded, and the successful applicant(s) will
be receiving a stipend at rate in line with current Research Councils UK
rates.

If you are interested in this opening, please send an email to either Dr
Sayan Bhattacharya (S.Bhattacharya@warwick.ac.uk) or Dr Torsten Mutze
(torsten.mutze@warwick.ac.uk) with a CV and the names and email addresses of
two references by 18 December 2020. Please write "Application for a PhD
position in the Theory Group" in the subject line of your email. You are
strongly encouraged to informally contact group members you might want to
work with prior to submitting your application.

Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed informally on 07 January, 2021,
and they will be notified approximately two weeks before the date of the
interview.
