background in computer science and/or mathematics and complete their MSc.
degree by summer 2024.
* Starting date: Fall 2024.
* Application deadline: January 31, 2024.
The School of Computer Science hosts active research groups in
* algorithms and complexity,
* discrete geometry and computational topology,
* graph theory,
* number theory and combinatorics,
* artificial inteligence,
* operations research, optimization, computational social choice,
as well as other areas of computer science and discrete mathematics. See

for more information.
Funding:
For the usual duration of the study (4 years), the School guarantees a total
net income of at least 26,000 CZK/month to doctoral students; this is often
supplemented by the grant funding. Funding from the second year on is
conditioned on the PhD candidate's good progress towards his/her degree based
on a yearly evaluation of doctoral students.
