[DMANET] open PhD position in Network Algorithms at the University of Vienna

Dear all,

I have an open PhD position in Network Algorithms at the University of
Vienna, see below and at:

https://tinyurl.com/y9plkw5b

for more details.

The specific topic will depend on the interests and skills of the student,
and could revolve around e.g., self-adjusting networks, online graph
partitioning, graph embedding ("virtual network embedding"),
(semi-)oblivious routing, routing table compression, or self-stabilizing
algorithms. Similarly, the methodology will depend on the student and
includes graph algorithms, online algorithms, approximation algorithms,
learning algorithms, linear programming and randomized rounding, as well as
computer-generated algorithms. See below some example papers.

For an overview of our research group as well as publications, see
https://ct.cs.univie.ac.at/ and <https://net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de/~stefan/>
https://net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de/~stefan/ .

Please forward to interested students and do not hesitate to contact me for
more information!

Many thanks and kind regards,

Stefan

Synopsis:

In contrast to traditional communication networks which rely on proprietary
algorithms and "blackbox" hardware, modern networks support numerous
algorithmic optimizations: in terms of routing, traffic engineering, medium
access, queuing, etc. become "programmable" and "software-defined".
Companies like Google exploit these optimization opportunities, e.g., to
efficiently schedule big data transfers across their wide-area network. Many
companies also exploit these optimization opportunities to allocate flows in
a datacenter network more efficiently and, e.g., reduce latency or job
completion time. As datacenter networks are typically also highly
virtualized, additional optimization opportunities arise: for example it is
possible to flexibly place or even migrate communication endpoints (virtual
machines or containers), to reduce communication costs (keywords: "resource
allocation" and "virtual network embedding"). Recently, it has even become
possible to change the physical network topology over time, enabling
"demand-aware networks" whose topology is optimized toward the traffic
pattern or workload they serve, and introducing novel "network design"
problems (keyword: self-adjusting networks).

Yet, the algorithmic problems underlying modern communication networks,
while practically very relevant, are not well understood today. We hence are
looking for a PhD student ("pre-doc"/"Doktorand(in)") with a strong
background and interest in algorithms (in particular, graph algorithms,
approximation algorithms, randomized algorithms, distributed algorithms,
dynamic programming, linear programming etc.). The goal of our research is
to lay the algorithmic foundations of modern communication networks, e.g.,
in areas such as routing, scheduling, clustering, and network design. It is
expected that the PhD student contributes to the modelling, algorithm
design, optimization, and formal analysis (e.g., proofs of correctness and
performance) for such networks.

[DMANET] PostDoc position in Algorithms at IDSIA, Lugano, Switzerland

The Algorithms and Complexity Group of IDSIA, USI-SUPSI, Lugano
(Switzerland), opens one PostDoc position.
The position is initially for 1 year, with the possibility of an
extension by 1 extra year.
This position is supported by the Swiss National Foundation Excellence
Grant "Approximation Algorithms for Network Problems II".
The main goal of this project is to design improved approximation
algorithms for a wide family of Graph, Scheduling and Geometric
(offline, centralized) problems. The group is also interested in
approximation algorithms for distributed, dynamic and online settings.

The appointment is for one year with the possibility of an extension
by one extra year.
The position is available from December 1st 2018, but there is some
flexibility on the starting date.

The gross salary is roughly 80.000 CHF per year (low taxes, around 15%).
There are no teaching duties and there is generous travel support.
The ideal candidate should hold (or be close to obtaining) a Ph.D. in
Computer Science or related fields, and should have a solid
publication record in the area of algorithms and complexity (with a
preference for approximation algorithms). Top conferences in this area
include STOC, FOCS, SODA, ICALP, and ESA.

The Algorithms and Complexity group at IDSIA currently counts 8
researchers. The group has several world-wide collaborations and it
has frequently visitors.

IDSIA offers an international working environment. Lugano is a tidy
and lively town, with a wonderful view on Ceresio lake and mountains
around. Ticino Canton offers many opportunities for hiking, biking,
skiing, etc. Local restaurants serve very good (Italian style!) food.

The interested candidates should email to Prof. Fabrizio Grandoni,
fabrizio@idsia.ch:
- A detailed CV, including a list of publications and contacts of 2-3
references;
- A short summary of past and current research interests.

Applications should be sent as soon as possible, possibly within the
