[DMANET] PhD/PostDoc Position in Algorithms and Complexity Theory at Goethe-University of Frankfurt

The research lab of Theoretical Computer Science, headed by
Prof. Dr. Holger Dell at Goethe-University of Frankfurt, is
inviting applications for one PhD or Postdoc position, starting
at the earliest possible date. Potential topics include the
algorithmic theory of network science, algebraic graph
algorithms, fine-grained and parameterized complexity,
"classical" complexity theory, as well as adjacent areas.

Tasks:

- Identify and work on the most important research problems in
theoretical computer science, and publish in top-class
conferences.
- Support undergraduate and graduate teaching activities.
- Supervise undergraduate students.
- Pursue further scientific qualification (e.g., doctorate).

We Offer:

- Active support for individual research questions.
- Guidance and a rich network of collaboration partners.
- Possibility to attend workshops, conferences, and summer
schools.
- A vibrant city.

We Expect:

- A finished or almost finished Master's degree (or equivalent)
with very good grades in Computer Science, Mathematics,
Physics, or similar. For postdoc candidates, a PhD is
required.
- Curiosity and strong interest in rigorous fundamental research
in a team.
- Robust knowledge in discrete mathematics or theoretical
computer science.
- Good command of English in both speaking and writing.
Moreover, since almost all of the teaching is done in German
language, non-German speakers can improve their chances by
giving sound evidence that they are able to navigate the
language barrier or to learn German within a short time frame.

The University of Frankfurt promotes gender equality at work,
which is why women are particularly invited to apply.

Please compile your application (including a short research
statement, CV, transcripts of grades, name and contact details
of one or two references) to a single pdf file and e-mail it to
the secretary C. Gressler (gressler@em.uni-frankfurt.de). If
you have a thesis or thesis draft, please include that as well.
Feel free to contact Holger Dell (lastname@cs.uni-frankfurt.de)
in case you have any questions. Candidates will be considered
until the position is filled.
