[DMANET] Two PhD/Postdoc positions in Theory of Nature-Inspired Algorithms at the University of Passau

Two fully funded PhD/Postdoc positions are available at the Chair of
Algorithms for Intelligent Systems (Prof. Dr. Dirk Sudholt) at the
University of Passau, Germany, starting at the earliest possible date.
The term is 3 years, with the possibility of an extension. The salary is
based on Entgeltgruppe TV-L 13. In case a PhD degree has already been
awarded and you meet fundamental civil service requirements, the
position can be set up as an Akademischer Rat position (Besoldungsstufe
A13).

The research group focuses on the theoretical, algorithmic analysis of
randomised or nature-inspired algorithms such as evolutionary
algorithms, swarm intelligence and estimation of distribution algorithms.

What we expect:

* An excellent degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or a related
discipline
* Very good knowledge in the analysis of algorithms, randomised
algorithms and/or stochastic processes
* Enthusiasm for mathematical problems and scientific work
* Excellent oral and written English communication skills
* The ability to teach in German (or the ability to learn German
within a reasonable time frame) is a plus.

What we offer:

* Cutting-edge research in a modern research field at the interface of
theory of algorithms and artificial intelligence
* Joining a friendly and expanding research team
* A modern university in a city with a rich Lower Bavarian culture and
a high quality of life

Informal inquiries about the positions should be directed to
dirk.sudholt@uni-passau.de.

The University of Passau promotes gender equality at work. Women are
expressly asked to apply. Part-time employment is possible. Disabled
candidates with otherwise equal suitability, ability and
subject-specific performance will be preferred.

Your application (cover letter, CV, transcripts, certificates) should be
compiled as a single .pdf file and emailed to dirk.sudholt@uni-passau.de.

The deadline for applications is *20 November 2020*.
