[DMANET] Postdoc position in Algorithms / Optimization / Algorithmic Game Theory at Hamburg University of Technology

POSTDOC POSITION IN ALGORITHMS/OPTIMIZATION AT HAMBURG UNIVERSITY OF
TECHNOLOGY (TUHH)
--
The Institute of Algorithms and Complexity at TUHH: Hamburg University
of Technology (www.algo.tuhh.de) in Hamburg, Germany offers an exciting
opportunity to work as a postdoctoral researcher at the forefront of
algorithms/optimization.

The successful candidate should have a thorough background on either
algorithms for discrete/combinatorial optimization problems,
mathematical programming, algorithmic game theory, or related field.

The position is offered for a period of 3 years. The salary of the
position is determined according to level TV-L E-14 of the German public
sector. The exact amount of salary depends on experience, family
circumstances, tax classification and other factors. Travel funding is
available, for attending conferences and workshops, and visiting other
researchers.

The successful candidate will join the TUHH Institute for Algorithms and
Complexity (www.algo.tuhh.de <https://www.algo.tuhh.de>), whose research
covers a broad spectrum of algorithmic research; this includes
algorithmic game theory, combinatorial optimization, approximation and
parameterized algorithms, and applications in operations research and
discrete mathematics. The Institute for Algorithms and Complexity at TU
Hamburg currently hosts several international researchers, so English is
used on a daily basis as a working language.

The institute is located in the newly built Hamburg Innovation Port
(www.hamburg-innovation-port.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/01-HIPtuhhlogowasser_web.jpg
<https://www.hamburg-innovation-port.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/01-HIPtuhhlogowasser_web.jpg>),
which is located right at the Harburg harbour with great views of the
harbour and Hamburg's famous opera house (Elbphilharmonie). Several
other computer science institutes of the TU Hamburg are located in the
area, as well as DASHH - Data Science in Hamburg, the Helmholtz Graduate
School for the Structure of Matter, and the German Air and Space
Research Center (DLR). They are all located in the Free and Hanseatic
City of Hamburg, which is Germany's second largest city, home to a
population of about 1.8 million people. It is a famous city of
entertainment, trade and commerce, with several universities and much
research in algorithms.

TU Hamburg offers several attractive benefits, including subsidized
public transport for the Hamburg metropolitan area, a sports centre on
campus, family-friendly working hours, healthy campus initiatives, and more.

An excellent PhD degree in (Applied) Mathematics, Computer Science,
Operations Research, Engineering or related field is required. Affinity
with optimization, algorithms, or discrete mathematics is preferred. In
particular, background in algorithms and complexity, or mathematical
optimization is appreciated. Programming experience is considered a plus.

Interested individuals should submit their applications by 17 November
2023. For a full job description and details on how to apply see
