PhD students
for the Algorithms and Complexity Department
[https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/departments/algorithms-complexity/]
directed by Danupon Nanongkai.
We are looking for applicants interested in theoretical research in algorithms and complexity, including the related areas of mathematical optimization, distributed computing, and algorithm engineering.
Researchers of several nationalities work in the Algorithms and Complexity department and our working language is English. The department is part of the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, located on the campus of Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany. We maintain close collaborations with algorithms and complexity researchers from other institutes on the campus, including the Department of Computer Science, CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, and Max Planck Institute for Software Systems. The group collaborates with several major research institutions in Europe and the U.S. and has high international visibility. There is generous travel support available for all group members. The date for entering the PhD program is negotiable and could be as early as April 2024.
Candidates holding a bachelor's or master's degree should apply via one or more of the following programs. (Information about these programs can be found at https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/departments/algorithms-complexity/offers.)
* CS@Max Planck Doctoral Program by 31 December 2023 [https://www.cis.mpg.de/cs-max-planck/]
* International Max Planck Research School for Trustworthy Computing (IMPRS-TRUST) by 31 December 2023 [http://www.imprs-trust.de/]
* Maryland Max Planck program by 15 December 2023 [https://www.cs.umd.edu/maryland-max-planck]
Successful candidates will typically have ranked at or near the top of their classes, have engaged in research, and be highly proficient in spoken and written English. Admitted students receive full funding to cover their living expenses and tuition fees.
