[Proof Complexity] Tenure-track assistant professorship in complexity theory in Copenhagen

[Jakob Nordström]

Dear colleagues,

I would be most grateful for any assistance in spreading the information below regarding a tenure-track assistant professorship at the University of Copenhagen in complexity theory (very much including proof complexity).

Best regards
Jakob Nordstrom

**********

The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professorship in computational complexity theory.

We are looking for an outstanding junior researcher with an innovative mind-set and intellectual curiosity to strengthen and complement the research profile of the Algorithms and Complexity Section at DIKU. This is part of an exciting environment including the Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre, joint with the IT University of Copenhagen, and involving extensive collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Lund University on the Swedish side of the Oresund Bridge. We aim to attract top talent from around the world to an ambitious, creative, collaborative, and fun environment. Using the power of mathematics, we strive to create fundamental breakthroughs in algorithms and complexity theory, but we also have a track record of start-ups and surprising algorithmic discoveries leading to major industrial applications.

The University of Copenhagen was founded in 1479 and is the oldest and largest university in Denmark. It is often ranked as the best university in Scandinavia and consistently as one of the top places in Europe. Within computer science, it is currently number 1 in the European Union (post-Brexit) according to the Shanghai Ranking.

The application deadline is January 17, 2021. See https://employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=152981 for the full announcement with more information and instructions for how to apply. Informal enquiries are welcome and may be sent to jn at di.ku.dk.
