University of Liverpool, UK
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on an EPSRC
funded project
“Reliable Distributed Algorithms for Dynamic Communication in Ad Hoc
Networks”
under the supervision of Dr Dariusz Kowalski. The aim of the project is to
develop new algorithmic techniques, accompanied by a comprehensive
theoretical analysis and simulations, for coping with unreliable dynamic
communication, faulty devices, and malicious disruption in ad hoc
networks.
The successful applicant will join the Algorithms and Complexity Group
(see http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~ctag). The group is particularly active in
the areas of distributed/network algorithms, game theory, randomised and
approximation algorithms, bioinformatics, and computability theory.
The candidate should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in Computer
Science, preferably in the area of distributed/network algorithms or a
related subject. Experience in algorithms and complexity analysis is
essential. Programming skills would be an advantage.
The post is available for up to 3 years. Preferred starting date is March
