[DMANET] 1 PhD Position in Distributed Computing (City University of Hong Kong)

Dear all,

We are looking for one PhD student with a strong interest in algorithms and distributed computing. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research in distributed computing with a focus on fault-tolerant algorithms for P2P networks (e.g., blockchain networks) and other dynamically changing environments. The research will involve designing new distributed algorithms and mathematically analyzing their performance, as well as proving lower bounds on the time and communication complexity. Having a strong background/interest in algorithms, theoretical computer science, or discrete mathematics is essential. Being familiar with distributed computing is helpful but not required.

Interested?
Please get in touch with peter.robinson@cityu.edu.hk<mailto:peter.robinson@cityu.edu.hk> to discuss your application. Expedited admission for Fall 2021 is still possible.

Some facts about CityU:
- #53 in QS World University Ranking 2022
- #84 in Times Higher Education World University Ranking 2021 (Computer Science).
- #4 in QS Top 50 Under 50 (ranking of universities which are under 50 years old).

Best,
Peter Robinson
