The research group Combinatorial Optimization, Algorithms, Data ( http://www.lamsade.dauphine.fr/spip.php?article258 ) at Lamsade, located at University Paris-Dauphine, France is offering
PhD positions in Algorithmic Optimization Graph problems . The PhD students will join the project "Algorithms with performance guarantees (AGaPe)" of Lamsade.
Each position has a start date in 2015, October.
The research focus will be on algorithms, Complexity Theory (Standard and parameterized), Approximation Algorithm and Structures for problems in graphs.
This will be at the intersection of theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics.
Funding
This PhD project is fully funded for three years with competitive salaries from a grant of the French Minister of Education. The grant
consists in a researcher contract (called contrat d'allocation de recherche) during a period of three years, with all the advantages of an employee
in France. In addition :
-- A full-time temporary appointment for a period of 3 years;
-- A salary (after social/health insurance deductions) of \euro 1635 per month for 3 years. The doctoral student will be employed as a researcher;
-- Support for your personal development and career planning including courses, summer schools, conference visits etc.;
-- A research position in an enthusiastic and internationally renowned research group;
Requirements:
The candidates shall satisfy the following requirements:
-- Master's degree in mathematics or computer science, ideally with specialization in algorithms, combinatorial optimization or another relevant area.
-- Excellent knowledge in Complexity Theory, Approximation Algorithms, Graph theory.
-- Good English skills (writing and speaking). Knowledge of French is welcome because the successful applicant should
ensure lectures in English or French.
Application:
Thesis subject is "Research on max-min or min-max solutions for algorithmic problems". Informal information about the topic can be asked
