Approximation Algorithms. The PhD candidate will be part of the Algorithms
and Complexity group of Prof Hans L. Bodlaender and will work under the
daily supervision of Dr Hsiang-Hsuan (Alison) Liu. The position consists of
70% research and 30% teaching. This will allow you to develop a strong
academic profile.
As a PhD candidate, you primarily perform research on online and
approximation algorithms, design novel algorithms and analyze the
competitive/approximation ratio by providing mathematical proofs. The goal
is to publish the results in scientific journals and proceedings and
present them at international conferences. This should result in a PhD
thesis. You will also be involved in teaching by supervising tutorial
groups of Bachelor's and Master's level courses and also by supervising
student projects.
Qualifications:
You are an enthusiastic and driven student and hold a Master's degree in
Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field. You also have:
- a strong interest in research on online and/or approximation algorithms
and analysis;
- experience with algorithm design and analysis;
- strong written and oral communication skills in English.
Candidates of all nationalities may apply. The university is striving for
gender balance in its research and teaching staff. Hence, women are
especially encouraged to apply for these positions. Candidates are
encouraged to mention any personal circumstances that need to be taken into
account in their evaluation (parental leave, military service etc.).
