[DMANET] Fully-funded PhD position in Hamburg on Algorithms for Scheduling, Planning and Decision Making

FULLY-FUNDED PHD POSITIONS IN SCHEDULING/ALGORITHMS AT HAMBURG
UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (TUHH)
--
The Institute of Algorithms and Complexity at TUHH: Hamburg University
of Technology (www.tuhh.de <https://tuhh.de>) in Hamburg, Germany offers
an exciting opportunity to work in a PhD program at the forefront of
algorithms and combinatorial optimization.

The position offers the chance to develop new algorithmic approaches to
scheduling, planning and decision making applications. The new
algorithms will build on advanced methods from combinatorial
optimization, mathematical programming, (mixed-)integer programming,
approximation algorithms and fixed-parameter tractability. For a first
glimpse, we refer to the survey on parameterized algorithms for
scheduling problems (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.01670.pdf
<https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.01670.pdf>).

The position is offered for a period of 3 years. It comes with social
security and generous travel money. We provide close supervision and
support by a panel of established professors and scientists.
Transferable skills and career development are an integral part of the
PhD program. The salary of the position is determined according to level
TV-L E-13 of the German public sector. The exact amount of salary
depends on experience, family circumstances, tax classification and
other factors. Travel funding is available, for attending conferences
and workshops, and visiting other researchers.

The successful candidate will join the TUHH Institute for Algorithms and
Complexity (www.algo.tuhh.de <https://www.algo.tuhh.de>), whose research
covers a broad spectrum of algorithmic research; this includes big data
algorithms, foundations of data science, combinatorial optimization,
approximation and parameterized algorithms, and applications in
operations research and discrete mathematics. The Institute for
Algorithms and Complexity at TU Hamburg currently hosts several
international researchers, so English is used on a daily basis as a
working language.

The institute is located in the newly built Hamburg Innovation Port
(www.hamburg-innovation-port.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/01-HIPtuhhlogowasser_web.jpg
<https://www.hamburg-innovation-port.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/01-HIPtuhhlogowasser_web.jpg>),
which is located right at the Harburg harbour with great views of the
harbour and Hamburg's famous opera house (Elbphilharmonie). Several
other institutes of the TU Hamburg are located in the area, as well as
DASHH - Data Science in Hamburg, the Helmholtz Graduate School for the
Structure of Matter, and the German Air and Space Research Center (DLR).
They are all located in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, which is
Germany's second largest city, home to a population of about 1.8 million
people. It is a famous city of entertainment, trade and commerce, with
several universities and much research in algorithms.

TU Hamburg offers several attractive benefits, including subsidized
public transport for the Hamburg metropolitan area, a sports centre on
campus, family-friendly working hours, healthy campus initiatives, and more.

An excellent Master degree in (Applied) Mathematics, Computer Science,
Operations Research or related field is required. Affinity with
optimization, algorithms, or discrete mathematics, integer programming
is preferred.

Interested individuals should apply through the official vacancy website

Applications received by 27 June 2021 will receive full consideration.
Applications should be submitted in English, and should include a
curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, and a detailed list of
university courses with grades. Any questions regarding the position
should be directed to Prof. Matthias Mnich (algo@tuhh.de
<mailto:matthias.mnich@tuhh.de>).

Hamburg University of Technology regards diversity as an integral part
of academic excellence and is committed to employment equity and
accessibility for all employees. As such, we encourage applications from
women, persons with disabilities, members of diverse gender identities,
and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
In Hamburg, you will have the opportunity to work across disciplines and
collaborate with an international community of scholars and a diverse
student body.
