MADALGO PhD student and Post Doc Positions (deadline November 1)

Center for Massive Data Algoithmics (MADALGO), is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at Frankfurt
University. The center covers all areas of the design, analysis and
implementation of algorithms and data structures for processing massive
data (interpreted broadly to cover computations where data is large
compared to the computational resources), with focus on I/O-efficient,
cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See www.madalgo.au.dk for more
information.

Starting February 1 or later several positions are available at MADALGO
under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge (www.madalgo.au.dk/~large)
and Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal (www.madalgo.au.dk/~brodal):

Several PhD student positions are available. The positions are
administered through the Aarhus Graduate School of Science
(science.au.dk/en/studies/phd-studies/) and include full tuition waiver
and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are welcomed from
students with at least three years of full-time study by February of
2011. Students with a strong background in the design and analysis of
algorithms will be preferred. Students with background in Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) are also very welcome to apply.

One or more MADALGO Postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science may be available. Post Doc positions are
initially for one year, but they can be extended by mutual consent.
MADALGO welcomes Postdoctoral researchers with clearly demonstrated
experience and skills in the design and analysis of algorithms and data
structures. Researchers with experience with I/O-efficient,
cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with implementation
of such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience), are preferred.
The responsibilities of MADALGO Postdocs include work on algorithms for
massive dataset problems in collaboration with center researchers, along
with modest teaching responsibilities.

Application deadline for both Phd student and postdoc positions is
November 1, 2011.
Application for PhD student positions should apply using the Aarhus
Graduate School of Science application system accessible from
www.madalgo.au.dk.
Applicants for Post Doc positions should apply by uploading a letter of
interest and a CV, as well as indicate at least two names of references
for recommendations, using the application form also available at
www.madalgo.au.dk.
