[Jirka Vomlel]

Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Czech Academy of Sciences,
Prague, Czechia, EU invites applications  for a two-year postdoctoral 
position
in the Department of Decision-Making Theory (with a possibility of a 
tenure-track)
ideally beginning in February 2020.

Most of departmental research activities belong to the area of applied 
mathematics, the focus is on theoretical problems as well as problems 
connected with implementations of methods in the following areas:

     probabilistic models of decision support systems
     conditional independence structures
     artificial intelligence
     mathematical logic
     mathematical optimization
     nonsmooth analysis
     partial differential equations
     variational calculus

Candidates are expected to work in one of the above mentioned or 
closely-related areas and to have a strong record of, or outstanding 
potential for, significant research. Moreover, experience in obtaining 
third-party funds is advantageous.

The institute offers a monthly salary of CZK 40 000 (about 1 570 EURO) 
and yearly benefits supporting e.g. recreational, and sport activities, 
as well as health care programs.  For scientists moving from abroad, the 
Czech Academy of Sciences has the EURAXESS office which helps with 
general questions and issues concerning the Czech administration. For 
full consideration, complete applications must be received by December 
31, 2019, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

In case of interest, please, send your application by email to the head 
of the department, Martin Kružík, at kruzik at utia.cas.cz. The application 
should be a single PDF file and include a CV, a research statement, and 
a copy of the PhD diploma. Two letters of recommendation should be sent 
separately by their authors to the e-mail address given above.
