Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computer Science with a focus on structural and algorithmic graph theory. The role involves contributing to the project "Algorithmic meta-classifications for graph containment," collaborating with Professor Matthew Johnson, Dr. Barnaby Martin, Professor Daniel Paulusma from Durham University, and Professor Vadim Lozin from the University of Warwick. The project aims to develop algorithmic meta-classifications that determine the solvability of computationally hard graph problems based on properties of graph classes. Funded by The Leverhulme Trust (RPG-2024-182), this fixed-term position lasts 26 months, ending on 29 February 2028, unless a later start date is arranged. The successful candidate will join the ACiD group within the Department of Computer Science at Durham University.
