[DMANET] PhD student / Post-Doc position in Algorithms Engineering at University Vienna

You  love  algorithms, their analysis and efficient implementation? You
are about to or know somebody who graduates with an excellent Master's
degree and is looking
for a PhD position? Then please  read on:

The research group "Theory and Applications of Algorithms" led by
Professor Monika Henzinger
at the University of Vienna is inviting applications for the full-time
position of a

    PhD Student / University Assistant ("Prae-Doc") (m/f)

    or

    Post-Doc / University Assistant ("Post-Doc") (m/f)

starting on December 1st, 2017 (the exact date is negotiable).
The initial contract length is one year, but an extension is possible
(and in the case of a PhD student also expected).

Working Area:

A successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Monika
Henzinger and Dr. Christian Schulz
on the topics of algorithm engineering, parallel and distributed
algorithms, dynamic algorithms and
combinatorial optimization (such as graph partitioning/clustering,
process mapping, independent sets, ...).
Exceptional candidates in the general area of algorithms and data
structures will also be considered.
Further responsibilities as part of the position include the supervision
of bachelor and master students
and possibly TA duties.

Requirements:

- Very good university degree (Master or equivalent) in computer science
or a related field
- Solid skills in software development and in the theoretical analysis
of algorithms (evidenced by your thesis or relevant courses); knowledge
in combinatorial algorithms and
linear algebra is particularly desirable
- Self-motivation, team spirit and willingness to work in
interdisciplinary projects
- Knowledge in parallel programming (in particular MPI) is a plus, but
no requirement

University Vienna offers  excellent  conditions for undergraduate,
graduate, and PhD
students. As part of the university we pursue a non-discriminatory
employment policy and value equal
opportunities, as well as diversity (http://diversity.univie.ac.at). The
university lays special

preference will be given to female applicants.

Please forward this email to anyone who may be interested or send your
application documents (cover letter,
CV, copies of certificates, a skype address for a possible interview and
the contact information of
two references) to the address below. To receive full consideration,
submit the documents via email
by November 10, 2017 to:
