[DMANET] PhD and Postdoc positions in theoretical computer science at Aarhus University

PhD and Postdoc positions at Aarhus University

Center for the Theory of Interactive Computation (CTIC) is a
Sino-Danish research center that starts operations on April 1st,
2011. The center is a collaboration between the Computer Science
Department at Aarhus University, Denmark and ITCS, Tsinghua
University, Beijing, China. Center leaders are Professor Andrew
Chi-Chih Yao, Tsinghua, and Professor Peter Bro Miltersen, Aarhus. The
focus areas of the center are computational complexity theory,
cryptography, quantum informatics, and algorithmic game theory. See
also http://www.cs.au.dk/ctic/.

PhD Positions

A number of attractive PhD grants within the focus areas will be
available at the center. The successful candidates will obtain their
degrees from Aarhus University and are expected to do most of their
studies there, but also do long stays at ITCS. The Aarhus University
Graduate School of Science PhD program requires between 3 and 5 years
of study, depending on the background of the candidate. The minimum
requirement for applying is a bachelor's degree. Applications should
be entered at the Aarhus Graduate School of Science (AGSoS) web
interface, where PhD applicants will also find detailed and relevant
information about the application process, deadlines, financing etc.:
http://science.au.dk/en/studies/phd-studies/. To obtain further
information before applying, please email ctic@cs.au.dk. The next
application deadline is February 1st, 2011.

Postdoc Positions

A number of attractive 1 to 2 year postdoc grants within the focus
areas will be available at the Aarhus branch of the center. We look
for applicants committed to playing an active part in building strong
research collaborations between the computer science department at
Aarhus University and ITCS at Tsinghua University. In particular, the
successful applicant will spend significant time at ITCS, with funding
for such visits being part of the grant. To apply, or to obtain
further information before applying, please email ctic@cs.au.dk.
