About this position

The University of Sydney’s Faculty of Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Theoretical Computer Science and Algorithms to join the Sydney Algorithms and Computing Theory group (SACT) in the School of Computer Science at the Darlington Campus.

Working with Dr. Clement Canonne and his team, the researcher will investigate distribution testing and quantum algorithms for state certification. A central project focus is the development and analysis of new differentially private algorithms for distributed statistical inference, including contributions to their implementation.

The postdoctoral researcher will work with Dr. Canonne and HDR students on the theoretical aspects of the project, conduct independent research, and participate in SACT seminars, reading groups, and broader research activities. The role also offers opportunities to present research at leading theoretical computer science and machine learning conferences and to mentor HDR and Honours students.

The research environment combines theoretical computer science, algorithms, learning theory, differential privacy, randomized algorithms, information theory, statistical inference, and quantum computation within a collegial research group at the University of Sydney.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term employment until June 2027 at Base Salary Level A of AUD $117,936–$125,896 per annum, plus 17% superannuation.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD, or be near completion, in Computer Science or a related field; have a publication record in learning theory, differential privacy, and/or randomized algorithms; possess a solid background in theoretical computer science or information theory; and be willing to contribute to the collegial culture of the Sydney Algorithms and Computing Theory group. Employment is conditional on required pre-employment and background checks.
