About Khalifa University

Khalifa University is ranked 181st in the QS World University Rankings 2023, and the top University in the UAE, with a range of research and academic programs designed to address the entire range of strategic, scientific and industrial challenges facing our rapidly evolving world.

Its world-class faculty and state-of-the-art research facilities provide an unparalleled learning experience to students from the UAE and around the world. Our research and academic activities cover a broad range of disciplines in engineering, science and medicine through our three colleges.

Khalifa University\'s research relates to key focus sectors of relevance to the UAE\'s strategic economic growth and the technology platforms that serve as foundations for these sectors. The University\'s research priorities are addressed in two categories \xe2\x80\x9cverticals\xe2\x80\x9d and \xe2\x80\x9chorizontals\xe2\x80\x9d which jointly cover specific industry and sector needs, technical platforms and expertise.

KU\'s focus sectors are Clean and Renewable Energy, Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production, Water and Environment, Healthcare, Aerospace, and Supply Chain and Logistics. Research in these sectors is enhanced by our research platforms of Robotics, AI and Data Science, Information and Communication Technologies, and Advanced Materials and Manufacturing as well as Fundamental Sciences.

Position Overview

KU is seeking a highly motivated Post-doctoral Fellow to work on a funded project in the area of universal algebra, combinatorics, discrete mathematics, and their applications. The project will specifically focus on clones, clonoids, minions, and non-associativity and related topics. While the motivations and goals of the project are in the development of the mathematical theory, it bears links to theoretical computer science, especially to the theory of computational complexity of constraint satisfaction problems.

The candidate will develop the mathematical theory of clones, clonoids, minions, and non-associativity, and related topics, or work on their applications, e.g., in theoretical computer science.
