[DMANET] Open PhD or PostDoc position at University of Bonn (Laura Vargas Koch)

We have an opening for either a PhD student or a PostDoc position at the University of Bonn, starting in October 2023 or later, see also https://sites.google.com/view/lvargaskoch/ .

Topic:
The research topics will be chosen from combinatorial optimization and/or algorithmic game theory, depending on the candidate's background, experience and interest. One potential topic for a PhD student are flows over time from an optimization as well as a game-theoretical perspective. Moreover, there is the opportunity to apply combinatorial optimization to applied projects in chip design or routing.

We offer:
Bonn offers excellent opportunities for both industrial collaborations and theoretical research in discrete mathematics, particularly in approximation algorithms and algorithmic game theory. The presence of the Hausdorff Center, which organizes various workshops and trimester programs, is a major advantage. The PostDoc position is a one year position with the possibility of extending it for another year. The PhD position is for a duration of three years. The positions are full-time positions and the salary is in accordance with E13 (https://www.finanzverwaltung.nrw.de/system/files/media/document/file/Tabelle%20TV-L.pdf ).
The teaching requirement of both positions is very low.

What you should bring:

PostDoc
- Applicants should hold a PhD degree in mathematics, computer science, operations research, or a related field.
- A strong interest in discrete mathematics, combinatorial optimization, and/or algorithmic game theory is required.

PhD
- Applicants should have a master's degree in mathematics, computer science, operations research, data science or a related field.
- A strong interest in discrete mathematics or algorithmic game theory,
- and a strong interest in real-world mathematical optimization challenges is required.
- Proficiency in C++ programming is required due to the involvement in industrial collaborations.

Application:
If you are interested, please feel encouraged to reach out with any question to lauravargaskoch@gmail.com . For an application please send your CV and a brief statement of interest. For the PostDoc position, please also include a research statement.
