The Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick is one of the leading Computer Science Departments in the United Kingdom for both research and teaching. The Department's research has a strong theoretical foundation upon which is built a variety of activities. Research activities in the Department include algorithms and complexity, formal methods and the semantics of programming languages, computational biology, software technologies and human aspects of computing, intelligent and adaptive systems, highperformance computing, and image and signal processing.

The position is affiliated with the Foundations of Computer Science Research Group (FoCS) in the Department of Computer Science. Research in FoCS is concerned with various topics of Theoretical Computer Science, Algorithms, Complexity Theory, Logic, and Automata and Verification.

The postholder is expected to play a central role in the activities in the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP). DIMAP was launched in March 2007 by the University of Warwick, partially funded by the EPSRC Science and Innovation Award EP/D063191/1 of £3.8 million.
DIMAP is a multidisciplinary research centre supporting an internationally competitive programme of research in discrete modelling, algorithmic analysis, and combinatorial (discrete) optimisation. It aims to support a thriving industrial affiliates programme and develop collaborative research rooted in discrete mathematics, involving researchers at other UK universities. The Centre also contributes to the development of undergraduate and taught postgraduate modules within degrees offered by the participating departments. With a number of internationally renowned researchers, an extensive programme of scientific seminars, international workshops and visiting researchers, and a multidisciplinary angle, DIMAP is one of the leading international research centres in discrete mathematics and its applications in computer science and operational research.
