Summary
For informal enquiries, please contact Dimitry Chistikov (Associate Professor) at D.Chistikov@warwick.ac.uk
Flexible Working -
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
The start date for this role can be negotiated for the successful candidate.
A postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available in connection with an EPSRC research grant (New Investigator Award) of Dr Dmitry Chistikov (web page), “Two-way automata: limitations and frontiers”. The main objective of the position is to pursue cutting-edge research in automata theory, and possibly at the interface with algorithms (fine-grained complexity).
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
Please be aware that references will be requested for applicants shortlisted for interview. The recruiting department will be in touch to request these at this time.
You will have a strong background in Theoretical Computer Science or a related discipline, such as Mathematics. You will have (or expect to obtain shortly) a PhD or equivalent qualification in the relevant area. Familiarity with automata (e.g., two-way automata and transducers, two-way pushdown automata, and related models of computation) is a plus but not essential: candidates with a different background are also encouraged to apply.
For details on the experience and skills required, please refer to the job description attached as a PDF below.
