PhD Position in Theoretical Research on Online Algorithms (1.0 FTE)<https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-position-in-theoretical-research-on-online-algorithms-10-fte>
Would you like to do research on online algorithms, design novel algorithm and analyse the competitive/approximation ratio by providing mathematical proofs?
www.uu.nl
In this position, you will join the Algorithms and Complexity group external link of Prof Hans L. Bodlaender and will work under the daily supervision of Dr Hsiang-Hsuan (Alison) Liu. The group aims to explore, by using fundamental studies, the limits of efficient computation and to provide innovative algorithmic solutions for problems from different application contexts. The main research areas are graph and network algorithms, computational complexity, algorithmic modelling and optimization, and robust combinatorial optimization and simulation. The group runs a weekly seminar, jointly with the Geometric Computing group, where faculty and students present their recent work in all of these areas.
You will focus primarily on researching online algorithms, designing novel algorithms and analysing the competitive/approximation ratio by providing mathematical proofs. The goal is to publish the results in scientific journals and proceedings and present them at international conferences. You will also be involved in teaching by supervising tutorial groups of Bachelor's and Master's level courses and supervising student projects.
This PhD position is a 5-year programme on Online Algorithms and you will be settled in the Department of Information and Computing Science. You will conduct about 70% research and 30% teaching. This allows the selected candidate to develop a strong academic profile.
Qualifications
Excited about the job description and do you hold a Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field? Bring multiple of the following and join our research group:
* A strong interesting in research in online algorithms and competitive analysis;
* Experience with algorithm design and analysis;
* Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
Candidates of all nationalities may apply. The university is striving for gender balance in its research and teaching staff. Hence, women are especially encouraged to apply for these positions. Candidates are encouraged to mention any personal circumstances that need to be taken into account in their evaluation (parental leave, military service etc.).
