[DMANET] PhD Position(s) in Algorithm Engineering in Heidelberg

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 newly established research group with focus on algorithm engineering
led by Christian Schulz at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, is
inviting applications for two fully funded full-time positions of a

    PhD Student / University Assistant (m/f)

starting on October 1st, 2020 (the exact date is negotiable).
The initial contract length is two years, but an extension is highly
expected.

Working Area:

A successful candidate will work under the supervision of Christian
Schulz on the topics of algorithm engineering, parallel and distributed
algorithms in particular for practical data reduction and graph
partitioning problems. Further responsibilities as part of the position
include the supervision of bachelor and master students and 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

Please forward this email to anyone who may be interested or send your
application documents (cover letter,
