PhD and Postdoc positions in constraint Satisfaction and Complexity (POCOCOP, ERC Synergy grant) at TU Dresden [D] and TU Vienna [A]

The ERC Synergy Grant POCOCOP (Polynomial-time computation: opening the black boxes in constraint problems) is offering several postdoc and PhD positions. The project is jointly led by three principal investigators: Manuel Bodirsky (TU Dresden), Michael Pinsker (TU Vienna), and Libor Barto (Charles University, Prague).

An ideal candidate is highly motivated, creative and with a strong background in at least one of the following fields: theoretical computer science, universal algebra, or model theory. Applicants should send a motivation letter, CV, a statement of research experience and interests, and a list of publications (if applicable) in a single PDF file to jobs at pococop.eu. You may also include a short annotation of at most three of their best papers; in the case of the PhD positions, a copy of the Master's thesis should be included. Applicants should moreover arrange for at least two recommendation letters to be sent directly to the same email address. Informal inquiries are very welcome. Female applicants are especially encouraged to apply.
