The applicant should have a PhD in Mathematics or Computer Science. The ideal candidate would have expertise in one or more of the areas of interest to the above-mentioned researchers, such as: combinatorial designs, combinatorial optimization, complex networks, discrete algorithms, computational complexity, extremal combinatorics, graph searching, random graphs, relational structures, and structural graph theory. The position is open to candidates of any nationality and selection will be based upon the candidate's research record and potential. As the applicant will normally teach, some teaching experience is preferred.

Applicants should provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation. At least one of these letters should report on the candidate's teaching abilities.

Applicants should apply no later than April 13, 2020, and the position will remain open until filled. Please note the position is advertised pending budgetary approval.
