center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at Frankfurt
University. The center covers all areas of the design, analysis and
implementation of algorithms and data structures for processing massive
data (interpreted broadly to cover computations where data is large
compared to the computational resources), with focus on I/O-efficient,
cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See www.madalgo.au.dk for more
information.
Starting August 1 or later several positions are available at MADALGO
under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge (www.madalgo.au.dk/~large)
and Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal (www.madalgo.au.dk/~brodal):
Several PhD student positions are available. The positions are
administered through the Aarhus Graduate School of Science
(science.au.dk/en/studies/phd-studies/) and include full tuition waiver
and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are welcomed from
students with at least three years of full-time study by August of 2011.
Students with a strong background in the design and analysis of
algorithms will be preferred. Students with background in Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) are also very welcome to apply.
One or more MADALGO Postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science may be available. Post Doc positions are
initially for one year, but they can be extended by mutual consent.
MADALGO welcomes Postdoctoral researchers with clearly demonstrated
experience and skills in the design and analysis of lgorithms and data
structures. Researchers with experience with I/O-efficient,
cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with implementation
of such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience), are preferred.
The responsibilities of MADALGO Postdocs include work on algorithms for
massive dataset problems in collaboration with center researchers, along
with modest teaching responsibilities.
An Interdisciplinary Postdoc position may also be available. The
position is initially for one year, but can be extended by mutual
consent. The responsibilities of the Postdoc will include work on
geospatial problems on the boundary between computer science and
biology, more specifically between algorithms and ecology/biodiversity.
The Postdoc should focus on problems in relation to computationally
efficient use of modern detailed (and thus massive) topographic data in
various global-change-relevant modeling applications. Modest teaching
responsibilities may also be required. The Postdoc will be affiliated
with MADALGO under the supervision of computer science Professor Lars
Arge but will also work with researchers in the Ecoinfomatics &
Biodiversity group at the Department of Biological Sciences under the
supervision of Professor Jens-Christian Svenning. Applications are
welcomed from computer science researchers with clearly demonstrated
skills in the design, analysis and implementation of algorithms
(preferably also with I/O-efficient algorithms), as well as from
geoinformatics researchers with clearly demonstrated skills in GIS and
programming. Researchers with interdisciplinary research experience will
be preferred.
Application deadline for postdoc positions is April 15, 2011. Applicants
should apply by uploading a letter of interest and a CV, as well as
indicate at least two names of references
for recommendations, using the application form available at
www.madalgo.au.dk.
Application deadline for PhD student positions is May 1, 2011.Applicants
should apply using the Aarhus Graduate School of Science application
system also accessible from www.madalgo.au.dk.
