Postdoc Positions for 2023-24

I am looking for three postdoctoral fellows for the next academic year to work with me at Bocconi.

The positions offer an internationally competitive salary (up to 65,000 Euro per year, tax-free, plus relocation assistance and travel allowance), in a wonderful location. The strict application deadline is January 31, 2023. Each position is for one year, renewable to a second year.

Among the topics that I am interested in are spectral graph theory, average-case complexity, “applications” of semidefinite programming, random processes on networks, approximation algorithms, pseudorandomness and combinatorial constructions.

Please contact me if you are interested in these positions and you would like more information.

To apply, go to this link, and then look for the opening for 3 positions dated December 6, 2022, like the one below (unfortunately there isn’t a perma-link to the application form):

Bocconi’s Computing Sciences department has a sizable theory group, that includes Laura Sanità, who works on optimization and approximation algorithms, Alon Rosen, who works on the foundations of cryptography, Marek Elias, who works on online optimization, and Andrea Celli, who works on algorithmic game theory. Next year, Adam Polak who works on fine-grained complexity and analysis of algorithms, will also join us.

Speaking of Alon Rosen, he is also recruiting postdocs for the next academic year, and he has two open positions, that you can find at the same link looking for two positions dated December 14 with an application deadline of February 28:

Postdoc Positions

A reminder that I am recruiting for two postdoc positions in my group, and that the strict application deadline is this Friday, December 17. See this previous post for details: https://lucatrevisan.wordpress.com/2021/10/21/postdoc-positions/

Postdoc Positions

The call is out for two postdoctoral positions at Bocconi to work in my group (see below for how to apply). If you are interested and you have any questions, feel free to email me (L.Trevisan at Unibocconi dot it)

The negotiable start date is September 1st, 2022. Each position is for one year, renewable for a second. The positions offer an internationally competitive salary (up to 65,000 Euro per year, tax-free, plus relocation assistance and travel allowance), in a wonderful location that, at long last, is back to more or less normal life. The application deadline is December 17, 2021.

Among the topics that I am interested in are spectral graph theory, average-case complexity, “applications” of semidefinite programming, random processes on networks, approximation algorithms, pseudorandomness and combinatorial constructions.

Bocconi Computer Science is building up a theory group: besides me, we have Alon Rosen, Marek Elias, a tenured person that will join next Fall, and more hires are on the horizon. Now that traveling is ok again, and considering that Alon and I both have ERC grants, we should expect a big stream of theory visitors coming and going through Bocconi from week-long visits to semester or year long sabbaticals.

To apply, go to https://www.unibocconi.eu/faculty-postdoc and look for the position advertised as “BIDSA Informatics”, which looks like this:

Post-doc Opportunities in Milan

[call for applications] [application form]

I am recruiting two postdocs for two-year positions to work with me starting in Fall 2021 at Bocconi University. The positions have competitive salaries and are tax-free. If applicable, I will pay for relocation expenses, including the assistance of a relocation agency for help in finding a place to live and activate utilities, to complete immigration formalities, and to sign up for the national health care service.

Milan has been suffering as much or more than other European and American big cities for the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. I have seen Milan in its normal condition for a few months from September 2019 to February 2020, and it is a beautiful cosmopolitan city, with an active cultural and social life, and with beautiful surroundings. Like San Francisco, it is smaller than one would expect it to be and very walkable (no hills!). Bocconi is situated in a semi-central area, about twenty minute walk from the Duomo.

I have received a large European grant that, besides paying for these postdoc positions, has a budget for senior visitors and for organizing two workshops over the duration of the grant. In particular, I was planning a workshop to be held last May in a villa on Lake Como. All such plans have been on hold, but Fall 2021 should be around the time that the global pandemic emergency ends, and I am planning for a lot of exciting scientific activity at Bocconi in the academic year 2021-22 and beyond.

I am looking for candidates with an established body of work on topics related to my research agenda, such as pseudorandomness and combinatorial constructions; spectral graph theory; worst-case and average-case analysis of semidefinite programming relaxation of combinatorial optimization problems.

Here are the call for applications and the application form.
