The Department of Computer Science is now looking for a

Postdoctoral Researcher in Geometric Algorithms.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our computational geometry team through the grant entitled "Algorithms in hyperbolic geometry" funded by the Research Council of Finland. Computational geometry is the theoretical basis for all types of geometric processing of data, and it is an important and vibrant area of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). The research will be focused on algorithms and computational complexity in Euclidean and especially non-Euclidean (e.g. hyperbolic) settings.

Your role and goals

Your primary goal in this position will be to do excellent research on the frontiers of geometric algorithms, both in collaboration with the team and in your existing professional network. We aim to continue
