[DMANET] 2-year postdoctoral position in kernelization and preprocessing at HU Berlin (until Sep 2020)

Department of Computer Science
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

1 Postdoctoral Position in Kernelization and Preprocessing
Research Assistant (100% TV-L E 13), 2 years (until Sep 20, 2020)

A 2-year postdoctoral position in kernelization and preprocessing is
available in the research group of Prof. Stefan Kratsch at the
Department of Computer Science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The
intended starting date is November 2018, a later start may be
negotiated. The position is funded until September 30, 2020, and is paid
according to TV-L E 13. (Salary depends on experience and amounts to at
least 3500 Euros per month before taxes.) The position is funded by the
German Research Foundation (DFG) and there is no teaching duty
associated with it.

Ideally, the postdoc should have a research background in kernelization
or other forms of preprocessing. (Here kernelization refers to the term
from parameterized complexity *not* to machine learning. Preprocessing
is broadly interpreted.) At least half of the work time should be
devoted to these topics. Further interests in other branches of
algorithmic research are also welcome.

Berlin offers a strong scientific landscape with plenty of opportunity
for collaborations. There are three universities, the DFG research
training group "Facets of Complexity", the DFG research center MATHEON,
and the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS). Besides sciences, Berlin
offers a rich, international, and multicultural living environment,
which should cater to most interests and hobbies.

The successful candidate should
* hold a PhD in computer science or mathematics
* have a research background in kernelization or preprocessing
* be fluent in English

Interested applicants should send their application containing
* a cover letter
* a CV and list of publications
* a short research plan
* a copy of the PhD diploma
* and names and contact information of two references
* a desired starting date for the position
