About this position
The Theory Group at EPFL is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to carry out independent work in theory of computation. The position spans a broad set of topics in theoretical computer science, including probabilistic proofs, succinct arguments, combinatorial optimization, approximation algorithms, online algorithms, sublinear algorithms, and (quantum) computational complexity.
The research scope also includes proof complexity, communication complexity, quantum cryptography, algorithms, and quantum learning theory. The postdoc will have considerable freedom to choose research directions that fit their profile and interests, while staying within the broader remit of the theory group.
The successful candidate will be part of a collaborative environment at EPFL in Lausanne, with opportunities to work alongside PhD and Master’s students and, where relevant, to interact with other research groups at the institution. Postdoctoral scholars are also part of a strong international research setting at one of the world’s top scientific universities.
Postdocs may contribute to teaching, depending on department needs and discussion with the hosting professor.
