[DMANET] PostDoc and PhD positions in approximation algorithms at IDSIA, University of Lugano

The Dalle Molle Institute (www.idsia.ch), University of Lugano (Switzerland), invites applications for

1) One postdoc position up to 3 years
2) One PhD student position (University of Lugano) for 3+1 years

We are looking for outstanding candidates for one postdoc position and one PhD student position with excellent mathematical skills and with a background in computer science or mathematics (preferably with a specialization in one of the following topics: combinatorial optimization, discrete mathematics, approximation algorithms and computational complexity).

The selected candidates, together with the current Algorithms and Complexity group at IDSIA (visit http://algo.idsia.ch/), will try to attack some challenging open problems in scheduling theory.

Annual Postdoc salary: roughly 75,000 CHF (Swiss Francs) per year low taxes.
Annual PhD salary: roughly 45,000 CHF (Swiss Francs) per year, low taxes.
Application deadline: 30th November, 2012.
