(https://www.tugraz.at/institute/atcs/research/group-vogtenhuber/) at TU
Graz, Austria. The group has a broad interest in algorithms and
complexity, currently with a focus on combinatorial, algorithmic, and
complexity-theoretic questions in graph drawing and network
visualization as well as discrete and computational geometry.
Who are we looking for?
Are you particularly attracted by algorithmic and/or combinatorial
questions? Are you also fascinated by geometry, complexity theory, or
discrete mathematics? Ideally, you have a strong background in computer
science or a related field. We expressly encourage students from maths
to apply if they are interested in algorithmic questions and/or like graphs.
What we offer:
The position is fully funded and comes with excellent working
conditions, such as a competitive salary, social security, 25 days of
paid vacation per year, and travel support. Birgit's group is part of
the newly founded, vibrant Institute of Algorithms and Theory, which
currently consists of one full and two associate professors, one
PostDoc, and seven PhD students. The institute in turn is part of the
Faculty of Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering and also closely
connected to the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Geodesy, which
provides plenty of potential for collaborations within TU Graz. Birgit's
group has strong ties to several leading research groups in Austria and
internationally. For example, we have ongoing collaborations with the
Graz School of Discrete Mathematics, groups in Vienna, Germany,
Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Mexico. While it is not
formally required, we strongly encourage and support international
collaborations and international research visits. In addition to
research, the position includes participation in teaching and
administrative duties. The starting date of the position is flexible
(preferably before October 2025). Knowledge of German is welcome but not
necessary.
Graz is known for its quality of life, a large amount of sunshine and
excellent food. With the Alps in the north, vineyards in the south, and
Slovenia and Croatia being close, Graz offers ample close-by
opportunities for leisure activities and vacation. With around 300.000
inhabitants, Graz is Austria's second largest city with a thriving
cultural life to which also the more than 50.000 students contribute.
Rental costs are significantly cheaper than in other European cities.
An inclusive environment and balancing family and career are important
aspects to the group and the university. We encourage women to apply.
Applications including
- a short cover letter indicating your interest in algorithms and in
pursuing a PhD,
- a full curriculum vitae,
- your Master's thesis or a draft of it (if already available),
- a transcript of records (together with grades), and
- other relevant documents (e.g., recommendation letters), should be
submitted via the TU Graz job portal
(https://jobs.tugraz.at/en/jobs/aa0f4193-95f0-b4d6-35ff-679b514697e4).
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me
(birgit.vogtenhuber@tugraz.at). Informal inquiries are welcome.
We will accept applications until the position is filled. However, for
full consideration, please submit your application by May 11, 2025.
