[DMANET] Doctoral student at the research group for Theoretical Computer Science in Hamburg

The research group for theoretical computer science at the Hamburg University of Technology is inviting applications for one full-time research assistant position to do research in the field of constraint satisfaction problems. The research will take place under the supervision of Antoine Mottet. The project is focussed on approximation algorithms in the area of constraint satisfaction, and offers a variety of questions in many different fields of mathematics and computer science.

The position is a full-time position on the echelon E13 of the German public salary scale (100% TV-L E13, which amounts to about 2600 euros net per month depending on family situation) for a duration of 3 years, with a possibility of extension. The successful applicant is expected to participate to the teaching activities of the group, to contribute to the research done at the group, and to work towards the obtention of a doctoral degree. The starting date is as soon as possible.

The successful applicant holds or is about to finish a Master's degree in computer science (with a theoretical focus) or mathematics. They are motivated by academic research and have a broad background in computer science or mathematics. They should be motivated to do cutting edge research in the fields of approximation algorithms, optimisation, and computational complexity.

Informal inquiries are encouraged and should be directed to Antoine Mottet (antoine.mottet@tuhh.de <mailto:antoine.mottet@tuhh.de>). The deadline for application is 11 November 2024. More information about the position can be found at the following address: https://stellenportal.tuhh.de/jobposting/62312ee73b97e4882fed16cfcf31f3dadc7b9dfb0. Applications are done at this same address.
The documents to be provided are:

- a cover letter,
- a short CV,
- copies of university degrees and transcripts,
- a copy of the thesis produced towards the obtention of a Master's degree in computer science or mathematics (in case the applicant has not finished their Master's thesis, provide an abstract of the topic of the thesis),
- a letter of reference.
