You love algorithms, their analysis and efficient implementation? You
are about to or know somebody who graduates with an excellent Master's
degree and is looking for a PhD position? Then please read on:
The algorithm engineering group at Heidelberg University is inviting
applications for a full-time position of a PhD Student
starting on January 1st, 2024 (the exact date is negotiable).
The initial contract length is two years, but an extension is highly
expected.
Working Area:
A successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. PD. Dr.
Christian Schulz on the topics of algorithm engineering, parallel and
distributed algorithms in particular for process mapping and other
partitioning problems. Further responsibilities as part of the position
include the supervision of bachelor and master students and possibly TA
duties.
Requirements:
- Very good university degree (Master or equivalent) in computer science
or a related field
- Solid skills in software development and in the theoretical analysis
of algorithms (evidenced by your thesis or relevant courses); knowledge
in combinatorial algorithms and linear algebra is particularly desirable
- Self-motivation, team spirit and willingness to work in
interdisciplinary projects
- Knowledge in parallel programming (in particular MPI) is a plus, but
no requirement
Heidelberg University offers excellent conditions for undergraduate,
graduate, and PhD students. As part of the university we pursue a
non-discriminatory employment policy and value equal opportunities, as
