[DMANET] Open PhD position in "Bio-Inspired Computation" at Max Planck Institute for Informatics

The group Bio-Inspired Computation at the

M A X P L A N C K I N S T I T U T E
for
I N F O R M A T I C S

in Saarbrücken, Germany seeks a

Ph.D. Student

for the Algorithms and Complexity Department

directed by Kurt Mehlhorn

We are seeking an excellent candidate with a master or diploma in
mathematics, theoretical computer science or a related field.
The successful applicant should carry out theoretical work on
evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimization and related bio-inspired
computing methods.
Candidates having experiences in the field of randomized methods and/or
computational complexity of bio-inspired computation are highly encouraged
to apply.

The Max Planck Institute for Informatics is located on the campus of the
Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken, Germany. Currently, around 40
researchers from several nationalities work in the Algorithms and
Complexity Department.
Our working language is English. The group collaborates with several of
the major research institutions in Europe and the U.S. and has high
international visibility. There is generous travel support available for
all group members.

Applications from disabled applicants are appreciated. Our institute
supports the principle of equal opportunity for men and women, and is
therefore interested in applications from women.
