Potential PhD position in parameterized complexity in Marseille, France

Dear all,

We may have a PhD position at the LIS laboratory (Marseille, France).
To fund the 3-year PhD position, we need to apply at the local PhD school:

   *  We have a *very high chance of success* (because the research team
    and the supervisors have a high priority).
  * It is *URGENT*, the deadline for applications is April 17, 2026.

The successful candidate will work, under the supervision of Benjamin 
Bergougnoux <https://benjaminbergougnoux.github.io/> and Cyril Terrioux 
<https://pageperso.lis-lab.fr/cyril.terrioux/en/index.html>, on the 
parameterized complexity of satisfactions problems like CSP and SAT with 
the goal of explaining the impressive performances of modern solvers.
A detailed description of the subject can be found here: 
https://benjaminbergougnoux.github.io/pdf/thesis_subject.pdf.
The starting date would be October 2026.

For applications and inquiries, please contact Benjamin Bergougnoux
