"Postdoctoral Fellow - Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering"

The Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the general area of algorithmic operations research with an emphasis on computational complexity and game theory. The position is funded by NSF (Algorithmic Foundations) and is concerned with designing efficient algorithms and establishing the computational complexity of selected quantified polyhedral programs.

Responsibilities include conducting research on quantified polyhedral programming and quantified circuits; attending research conferences; reading scientific literature to keep abreast of technological advances and current research findings; and teaching one course in theoretical computer science.

The position is funded for two years starting January 1, 2026 (a later start date can be accommodated). A one-year extension is possible based on performance and availability of funds.

West Virginia University is a comprehensive Land Grant University with a main campus enrollment of over 24,000 students and a Carnegie Classification of Highest Research Activity (R1 University). The community is located in a high technology corridor near federal research facilities and is within reasonable driving distances from Pittsburgh, PA and Washington, DC. Additional details are available at http://www.morgantownwv.gov/ and https://www.wvu.edu.

Qualifications: A PhD in computer science or operations research and expertise in computational complexity and game theory are required. Support will be provided by a graduate student, but design work is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator and the postdoc.

To apply, visit https://careers.wvu.edu/career-opportunities. Applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for two professional references. Only candidates who submit complete documentation will be considered. For questions, contact Professor Krishnamurthy Subramani at phone: 304-293-9137 or email: k.subramani@mail.wvu.edu.
