Postdoctoral fellow in Matematics: Constraint problems and Satisfiability
The research group in discrete mathematics welcomes a postdoctoral fellow in combinatorial algorithms and satisfiability. The successful applicant will be part of developing and implementing algorithms for large scale satisfiability and constraint satisfaction problems. Topics of special interest are: complete listing of solutions to constraint problems, mixing boolean constraints of CNF-type with cardinality constraints and symmetry breaking, and combination of learning with parallelisation on loosely connected machines.
The position is for 1.5 years. To qualify for the position you should have a PhD degree in mathematics, computer science, or a closely related subject, preferably not older than three years. You also need good programming skills, where C and C++ are preferred languages.
The post doc will be employed at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. Since we strive for a more equal gender distribution within our department, we especially encourage female applicants.
