Post Doc in Certified Combinatorial Optimization
(ref. BAP-2024-727)Laatst aangepast: 26/11/24
Optimization, which is part of the Declarative Languages and Artificial Intelligence (DTAI) section of the department of Computer Science of KU Leuven.
We are particularly looking for someone who can strengthen the recently-launched research line on proof logging (also known as certifying
algorithms) for combinatorial optimization, and in particular the Certi FOX project.
In this line of project, the goal is to develop methods and algorithms that can guarantee with 100% certainty that the answers produced by a
combinatorial optimizer are correct. The project page (see the link below) contains more information on this research direction.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will perform research that advances the state-of-the-art in proof logging in general, and in particular focus on
Profile
- Candidates should hold (before start-date of the position) a Ph D degree in computer science (or a closely related field)
- Proficiency in English is required.
Research-wise, there are two potential profiles that would strengthen our team:
-
Profile 1: a candidate with strong expertise in proof assistants (Lean/Coq/HOL/...) with an interest in combinatorial optimization.
Such a candidate would be responsible for the development of formally verified version of the proof checkers in the Certi FOX project -
Profile 2: a candidate with strong expertise in combinatorial optimization algorithms (e.g., SAT solving, constraint solving, Max SAT,
SAT modulo theories, Answer Set Programming, (Mixed) Integer Programming, ...).
Offer
- We offer a fully-funded postdoc position, initially for 12 months, but renewable and with expected duration of two or three years.
- The position comes with a competitive salary (academic salaries in Belgium are very competitive) or an equivalent scholarship, as well as with travel budget.
- This is a pure research position, but it also comes with the possibility to participate in advanced teaching (while this is encouraged, it is not mandatory).
The start is foreseen to be around the summer of 2025, but this is negotiable.
