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 PhD student at the forefront of artificial
intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) algorithms.
The successful candidate will become part of PATTERN, the European
Doctoral Network Enabling AI for Electromagnetic Compatibility
(https://pattern-dn.eu/). PATTERN addresses the core challenge of
electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can obstruct communications,
and with equipment such as life-support systems, can put people's lives
at risk. This dangerous situation can be attenuated by designing new and
more effective devices, but requires a holistic approach to ensure
long-term resilience and reliability to constantly changing,
increasingly complex EMI scenarios. PATTERN will develop AI methods for
the holistic design of EMI solutions. AI can discover previously unknown
patterns in the interactions that take place between us, our devices,
and our increasingly complex environment, and it can support us
redefining safe-and-sustainable-by-design solutions to the dangers posed
by EMI in various scenario. PATTERN has expertise from four key areas,
i.e., electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), medical engineering, risk
management, and sustainability management.
In total, there will be 16 PhD research students in PATTERN, across 9
top-European universities of technologies and 11 leading industrial
partners (Philips, Nexperia, Thales, and others).
At TU Hamburg, we will host two PhD students in projects DC6 and DC9.
The successful PhD candidates will research algorithms for
discrete/combinatorial optimization problems in the holistic design of
systems addressing electromagnetic interference. The main methods
applied in these projects will come from AI/ML algorithms, discrete
algorithms, mathematical optimization, mathematical programming, and
related fields. We provide close supervision and support by a panel of
established professors and scientists. International exchanges, industry
experiences, transferable skills and career development are an integral
part of the PhD program (see
https://pattern-dn.eu/index.php/phd-training-for-doctoral-candidates/).
The working language of the program is English.
This is a full-time position (100%) which comes with an employment
contract for 3 years. It comes with an attractive salary in accordance
with the MSCA regulations for Doctoral Researchers. On top, there's a
mobility allowance (€600 per month), and a family allowance (€660 per
month, if applicable). The exact amount of salary depends on experience,
family circumstances, tax classification and other factors.
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 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, Data
Science, Operations Research, Engineering or related field is required.
Affinity with optimization, algorithms, or discrete mathematics is
preferred. In particular, background in AI/ML algorithms and complexity,
or mathematical optimization is appreciated. Programming experience is
considered a plus. For full eligibility criteria, please check
https://pattern-dn.eu/index.php/esr-projects/
Interested individuals should submit their applications by 30 September
2024. For a full job description and details on how to apply see
https://www.tuhh.de/algo/jobs/phd-positions. Any questions regarding the
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.
