PhD students

for the Algorithms and Complexity Department
[https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/departments/algorithms-complexity/]

directed by Danupon Nanongkai (from July 2022).

We are looking for applicants who are interested in theoretical research in algorithms and complexity, including related areas like mathematical optimization, distributed computing, and algorithm engineering.

Researchers of several nationalities work in the Algorithms and Complexity Department and our working language is English. The department is part of the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, located on the campus of Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany. We maintain close collaborations with algorithms and complexity researchers in other institutes on the campus, including the Department of Computer Science, CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, and Max Planck Institute for Software Systems. The group collaborates with several major research institutions in Europe and the U.S. and has high international visibility. There is generous travel support available for all group members. The date for entering the PhD program is negotiable and could be as early as April 2022.

Successful candidates will join the International Max Planck Research School on Trustworthy Computing (IMPRS-TRUST), which is a graduate program jointly run by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Saarland University, and TU Kaiserslautern. The IMPRS-TRUST offers a PhD program upon successful completion of which students receive a Doctoral Degree in Computer Science from Saarland University. The program is open to students with a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science (or an equivalent degree). Successful candidates will typically have ranked at or near the top of their classes, have engaged in research, and be highly proficient in spoken and written English. Admitted students receive full funding to cover their living expenses and tuition fees.

Further information, including instructions on how to apply, can be found here: https://www.imprs-trust.mpg.de/

The current round of applications closes on 31 December 2021.
