The Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at West Virginia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the general areas of theoretical computer science and algorithmic operations research, with an emphasis on computational complexity and game theory. A PhD in computer science and expertise in the areas of computational logic and game theory are required. The position is funded by NSF (Algorithmic Foundations) and is concerned with the designing efficient algorithms and establishing the computational complexity of selected problems in mathematical programming and combinatorial optimization.
Responsibilities will include but are not limited to the following: 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 August 15, 2026.
