PhD position in Discrete Optimization
Research Assistant (75% TV-L 13)
until June 30, 2026, starting as soon as possible

A PhD position is available in the "Discrete Optimization" group at TU Berlin (https://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/disco/) with ties to the "Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms" group (https://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/coga/). The successful applicant will participate in research project A07 in the frame of the DFG-funded Transregio TRR 154. The task of the successful applicant is to study combinatorial optimization problems that arise, for example, in the construction and operation of new hydrogen networks or other gas networks. The opportunity to prepare a PhD thesis will be provided.

Requirements:
- succesfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in Mathematics, Computer Science or related fields; clearly above-average grades are desired
- profound knowledge in Discrete Mathematics, Algorithm Design and Algorithm Analysis are desirable
- knowledge in the field of Optimization or related areas is desirable
- good command of German and/or English required; willingness to learn either English or German is expected

Please send your application with the reference number II-654/22 and the usual documents (letter, CV, relevant certificates and degrees, combined in a single pdf file, max 5 MB) by email to kiefer@math.tu-berlin.de<mailto:kiefer@math.tu-berlin.de>.

The application deadline is: October 28, 2022. Informal inquires about the position can be directed at any time to klimm@tu-berlin.de<mailto:klimm@tu-berlin.de> Please also send a mail if you would like to apply but have difficulties in meeting the application deadline or are still missing your final exam but expect to obtain it soon.

Besides its many cultural attractions, Berlin offers a strong scientific landscape including three major universities, the DFG funded mathematics research center MATH+ (https://mathplus.de) as well as the international graduate program Berlin Mathematical School (www.math-berlin.de<http://www.math-berlin.de/>); these offer opportunities for joint research and support for PhD students (e.g., meetings, lecture series, international summer schools etc.).
