(New) PhD Position in TCS and/or Combinatorial Optimization at Lund University [SE]

The Mathematical Insights into Algorithms for Optimization (MIAO) group are looking for a mathematically gifted PhD student with excellent programming skills to continue our ground-breaking work on certifying algorithms, funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). There is some flexibility as to what kind of research PhD students in the group pursue, though, and all candidates are welcome, both those who want to go deep into either theory or practice and those who are inspired by the challenge of bridging the gap between the two.

This PhD position is a four-year full-time employed positions; it might include 20% teaching, in which case it will be prolonged for one more year. The starting date is negotiable, but should ideally be in August-September 2026 or earlier.
