The Centre for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) has been established in March 2007 by the University of Warwick, partially funded by an EPSRC Science and Innovation Award EP/D063191/1 of £3.8 million. The Centre builds on a collaboration among

• the Department of Computer Science,
• the Warwick Mathematics Institute, and
• the Operational Research and Management Sciences group in the Warwick Business School.

The DIMAP is co-located in the adjacent new Computer Science and Mathematics buildings and it is directed by an Executive Team led by Prof. Artur Czumaj.

Vision for the Centre

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 modules 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.

Positions

DIMAP has already appointed three internationally renowned researchers: Dr. Harald Räcke at the Department of Computer Science, Dr. Vadim V. Lozin at the Warwick Mathematics Institute, and Dr. Bernard Ries (who recently replaced Dr. Arie Koster) associated with the Operational Research and Management Sciences group (ORMS) in the Warwick Business School.

DIMAP has a number of further positions available.

• We have several DIMAP PhD studentships available in our process of developing a doctoral training programme supporting a continuing stream of research students in discrete mathematics and related areas. We seek outstanding candidates in all areas of Algorithms and Complexity, Discrete Mathematics and Combinatorics, and Mathematics of Operational Research, see our PhD studentship web page for more details.
• We have one new post-doctorial fellow position in DIMAP. The position is in the broadly understood area of Theoretical Computer Science and Algorithms and Complexity, and the fellowship is for the period of one year. More details are available here. The official advert is available.
