The scientific program includes

* Complexity of algorithms
* Complexity of combinatorial structures
* Complexity of geometric structures
* Complexity of graphs and networks

We look in particular for candidates who can connect several of these
areas, and who can
combine the combinatorial, descriptional, and algorithmic aspects of
complexity.

The program is a joint initiative of scientists at the three major
Berlin universities

Freie Universität Berlin (FU)

Prof. Günter M. Ziegler (FU)

as well as adjoint and junior faculty.

The program of the Research Training Network includes a regular Monday
afternoon
colloquium, block courses, summer schools, research workshops, etc. -
all this in a very
lively Berlin discrete mathematics and algorithmics environment, which
also includes the
BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL (http://www.math-berlin.de), the joint
international graduate
program of the three major Berlin universities. We offer a
