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 PhD student at the forefront of
algorithms/optimization.
The successful candidate will research algorithms for
discrete/combinatorial optimization problems, mathematical programming,
algorithmic game theory, or related field. We provide close supervision
and support by a panel of established professors and scientists.
Transferable skills and career development are an integral part of the
PhD program. The working language of the institute is English.
This is a full-time position (100%) which comes with an employment
contract for 3 years and social security. The salary of the position is
determined according to level TV-L E-13 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), 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),
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. The city is famous for its wide
offers of entertainment, culture and attractions, 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. For international staff, German classes are offered.
An excellent Masters degree --- either already obtained or to be
completed soon --- 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 18 July 2024.

position should be directed to Prof. Matthias Mnich (algo@tuhh.de).
Hamburg University of Technology regards diversity as an integral part
of academic excellence and is committed to employment equity and
accessibility for all employees. As such, we encourage applications from
women, persons with disabilities, members of diverse gender identities,
and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
In Hamburg, you will have the opportunity to work across disciplines and
collaborate with an international community of scholars and a diverse
student body.
