[DMANET] PhD Position at the University of Münster

We announce

ONE PH.D. POSITION (full)

at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany, at the Institute of
Mathematical Logic, as part of the research project "Algorithms for realizing
polytopes in 3D" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The position is
for two years with the chance of an additional year subject to the extension of
the project. The project is supervised by Prof. André Schulz (
http://cs.uni-muenster.de/u/schulz ).

The aim of the project is to develop new algorithms for realizing graphs as 3d
polytopes with certain geometric features. In particular, having small integer
coordinates is one of the most interesting optimization goals.

We expect that the candidate has a Master Degree in Mathematics or Computer
Science and a solid background in discrete math and algorithms. Ideally, the
applicant has knowledge in at least one of the following fields: polytope
theory, graph drawing, graph theory, and computational geometry.

Please send your applications consisting of

- a cover letter,
- curriculum vitae,
- the Master thesis (preliminary version, if not finished),
- (optional) a letter of reference (to be directly sent to us),

to

Prof. Dr. André Schulz
Institut für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagenforschung
Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik der Universität Münster
Einsteinstraße 62
D-48149 Münster, Germany

It is also possible to apply via email. In this case send your application as
one single pdf-file to andre.schulz[at]uni-muenster.de .

Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
