Distributed Algorithms group of Sebastian Brandt
(https://scbrandt.github.io), which is part of the Algorithms & Theory
branch at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in
Saarbruecken. The newly founded group aims for being one of the leading
reseach groups in the area of distributed and parallel algorithms, with
a strong emphasis on cutting-edge research. For an introduction to our
research, please visit https://scbrandt.github.io/#introduction.
PhD positions:
The ideal candidate has an excellent master's (or, in exceptional cases,
bachelor's) degree in computer science or a related field. We expressly
encourage bright students from maths (in particular pure maths) to apply
if they are interested in algorithmic questions. A background in
distributed or parallel algorithms is not necessary.
Postdoc positions:
The ideal candidate has a strong background in algorithmic research,
with publications in leading TCS conferences or journals, and is
interested in working in the area of distributed and parallel
algorithms. The candidate is expected to have a doctoral degree, or to
complete her/his PhD soon. The postdoc positions are typically for 1 to
2 years, but can possibly be extended. We encourage postdocs to develop
their own research agenda.
What we offer:
All positions are fully funded and come with excellent working
conditions, such as a competitive salary, social security, 30 days of
vacation, and generous travel support. Saarbruecken is considered as one
of the top locations for computer science in Europe, with the Saarland
Informatics Campus being home to Saarland University and several leading
research institutes (such as the Helmholtz Center, two Max Planck
Institutes, a Fraunhofer Institute, and more), offering a vibrant
atmosphere and ideal conditions for collaboration. Beyond that, the
Theory of Distributed Algorithms group has established strong ties to
other leading research groups across Europe, creating further potential
for collaboration and research visits.
The Theory of Distributed Algorithms group is committed to providing a
healthy work environment and fostering diversity and respectful
interaction. We welcome applications by candidates from all backgrounds.
Participation in teaching is encouraged, but not required. The starting
dates of the positions are flexible although we would prefer to fill
them as soon as possible. Knowledge of German is not necessary.
We will accept applications until the positions are filled. However, for
full consideration, please submit your application by June 28, 2022, via
one of the following links which also specify the required (marked with
a star) and optional documents.
