The theory group at EPFL has a postdoctoral position available. An ideal 
candidate should have a strong research track-record and willingness to 
work on important challenges in theoretical computer science. We have a 
focus on approximation algorithms, hardness of approximation and efficient 
exact algorithms and are willing to branch out to other topics as well.

The position is for one or two years, and comes with a competitive salary 
and generous support for scientific travel. In addition, EPFL, located in 
the heart of Europe, provides an active and stimulating research 
atmosphere with short- and long-term visitors. Ideally, the appointment 
should start in Fall 2013, but other starting dates might be also 
possible.
