theoretical computer science or a related area. Publications are an
advantage. Solid English skills, both oral and in writing, are expected.
In addition, the successful candidate is highly self-motivated and has a
good ability to work both independently as well as in a team. Her/his
activities will include conducting research with other group members and
external collaborators, teaching, and participating in other activities
of the group. Proficiency in German is not required.
