Combinatorial Optimization headed by Prof. Nicole Megow
(https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/cslog/nmegow) at the University of Bremen.
The research interests of the group are in the areas of combinatorial
optimization, efficient algorithms, approximation algorithms,
optimization under uncertainty such as online, stochastic, or robust
optimization, and modern models beyond the worst case e.g. integrating
machine learning into optimization.
We are looking for candidates with
- a strong mathematical background, an excellent degree in mathematics
or computer science
- excitement about algorithms, combinatorial problems, theoretical analysis
- for postdocs: a good track record in algorithms and combinatorial
optimization, ideally a background in some of the other above-mentioned
topics
- high motivation, creativity and openness.
We offer full-time positions for two years (postdoc) resp. three years
(PhD) with a competitive salary, 30 days of vacation, social security
according to the Federal German Payment scale TV-L 13 (gross annual
salary of 52k-75k EUR, depending on qualifications and personal
situation). The group is part of the faculty of mathematics and computer
science and has strong ties to other theory and optimization oriented
groups and university-wide initiatives in AI and data science, providing
the potential for collaborations within Bremen. Further, the group is
well connected to other leading research groups worldwide. We encourage
and support international collaborations and research visits.
The University of Bremen, a mid-sized German institution accommodating
approximately 18,000 students, is closely affiliated with numerous
research institutes. It is an integral part of the European university
network YUFE–Young Universities for the Future of Europe. As a major
urban center, the city of Bremen offers a dynamic blend of tradition and
modernity, making it appealing for a vibrant student community. The city
boasts an excellent quality of life, featuring a rich cultural scene
with diverse arts and music that cater to every taste, from classical to
alternative. With a population of over half a million residents, Bremen
offers a pleasant mix of urban life and easily accessible charming
countryside, lying in proximity to the North Sea. Moreover, Bremen is
well-connected to other major German cities, such as Hamburg, Berlin, or
Cologne. Knowledge of German is not necessary.
The application material includes
- letter of motivation indicating your interest in working in our group
- CV
- PhD students: your Master's thesis and study transcripts (with grades)
- Postdocs: short research statement (1 page is enough)
Please send the material as a pdf to nicole.megow@uni-bremen.de.
Applications will be reviewed starting from January 20. The envisioned
starting date is as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me
