Department information
The Theoretical Computer Science Group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology invites applications for a postdoc position in computer science focused on SAT solving.
The Theoretical Computer Science Group at KTH offers a strong research environment spanning a wide range of research topics such as complexity theory and approximation algorithms, computer and network security, cryptography, formal methods and natural language processing. We have one of Europe's most prominent groups in algorithms and complexity theory, and the research conducted here has attracted numerous international awards and grants in recent years.
Qualifications
Applicants should have or be about to receive a Ph.D. degree in a subject relevant for the research area, and should have a passionate interest in research. The successful candidate is expected to have a solid background in computer science in general and SAT solving in particular, and preferably also mathematics, and should have a strong research record as witnessed by publications in conferences such as AAAI, IJCAI, SAT, CP, or similar, or in journals of a comparable quality.
