Assistant professor position at CSI of Charles University in Prague
The Computer Science Institute (CSI) of Charles University, 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 July 1, 2018, and October 1, 2018, and is negotiable.
We are looking for candidates that would complement and/or strengthen existing research areas in our group (which currently include structural graph theory, computational complexity, computational and combinatorial geometry, and approximation algorithms). Strong candidates from all areas of theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics will be considered. For further information about our research group see the sites of CSI and at the closely related Department of Applied Mathematics. Informal inquiries are welcome and may be sent to Michal Koucky koucky at iuuk.mff.cuni.cz.
A successful candidate is expected to pursue an active research program, teach advanced and introductory classes and possibly supervise undergraduate and graduate students.
