[DMANET] PhD Position in Theory of Distributed Systems, Paderborn University

The Theory of Distributed Systems group at Paderborn University (Germany) is
offering a fully funded 3-year PhD position (at the level TV-L E-13 of the
German public sector) on foundations of distributed computing. The
successful candidate joins a group whose research covers a broad spectrum of
topics including communication networks, distributed computing, and
programmable matter. Due to interactions with various international
researchers and PhD students, the working language is English, so knowledge
of German is not required.

The application deadline is February 6, 2026, and the position is expected
to start around April 2026 (though starting later would also be possible).

Applicants should have a Master's degree in computer science or mathematics
or a related discipline, and an excellent background in math and algorithms.

Please send your application (including a cover letter, CV, Bachelor and
Master certificates, and references if available) to scheideler@upb.de.
