Assistant professor position at CSI of Charles University in Prague
The Computer Science Institute (CSI) of Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, invites applications for a faculty position at the rank of an assistant professor in the area of theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. The expected starting date is between October 1, 2014, and January 1, 2015, and is negotiable.
We are looking for candidates that would strengthen and/or complement existing research areas in our group, such as structural graph theory, computational complexity or approximation algorithms. However, strong candidates from all areas of theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics will be considered. For further information about our research group at CSI and at the closely related Department of Applied Mathematics see https://iuuk.mff.cuni.cz/ and https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/.
A successful candidate is expected to pursue an active research program, teach advanced and introductory classes in Czech and/or English and possibly supervise undergraduate and graduate students. Teaching in Czech is not required.
