Applications are welcome by researchers in theoretical computer science and related areas, especially, but not exclusively, within the following areas: - Semantics of Computation, - Logic, - Algorithms and Data Structures, - Complexity Theory, - Data Security, - Programming Languages, - Distributed Computing, - Verification. Openings, while likely to start as postdoctoral positions, generally for 1-2 years, have the possibility of extension to longer-term positions. BRICS, Basic Research in Computer Science, is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation and consists of the BRICS Research Centre and the BRICS International PhD School. The Research Centre (Director Glynn Winskel) is a joint venture between the theoretical-computer-science groups at the universities of Aarhus and Aalborg, Denmark. The PhD School (Director Mogens Nielsen) is based in the Computer Science Department at the University of Aarhus. The BRICS Research Centre is based on a commitment to develop theoretical computer science and related mathematics, using a combination of long-term efforts and a number of short-term, intensive programmes, within carefully chosen scientific themes. The BRICS International PhD School offers a full PhD programme in computer science, including a wide range of courses, summer schools etc., and a number of PhD grants for Danish as well as foreign students.
