The Mathematics/Computer Science Department wants to strengthen its
competences in the area of theory of algorithms. Possible but not
exclusive areas of research include randomized algorithms,
approximations algorithms, sublinear algorithms, distributed algorithms,
FPT algorithms, algorithm engineering, computational geometry and online
algorithms.
The applicant will contribute to the planned study programs in Computer
Science, as well as to the programs in Mathematics-, Economathematics,
and Information Systems. He or she contributes actively to the academic
self-administration.
YOUR PROFILE
The successful applicant is an internationally highly recognized
researcher in the area of algorithms theory, particularly in the design
and analysis of discrete algorithms. He or she is interested in
interdisciplinary cooperations, particularly in the area of machine
learning.
OUR OFFER
The University of Cologne provides a stimulating academic environment
with a wide range of career development opportunities as well as support
services for dual career couples and family-friendly working conditions.
This call is part of the Tenure Track Programme of the German Federal
Government and the Federal States. It addresses researchers at an early
career stage. The position is to be filled at the earliest possible
date. Formal requirements are detailed in Section 36 of the Higher
Education Act of North Rhine-Westphalia (Hochschulgesetz –HG NRW).
In the third year after taking office, an interim evaluation takes
place. This serves as the basis for deciding whether to grant the
candidate an extension for another three years. A final evaluation takes
place no later than in the sixth year after taking office. On this
basis, a decision is made as to whether the candidate will receive a
permanent position at W2 level. Both evaluations are conducted in
accordance with the Regulations for Quality Assurance in Tenure Track
Procedures of the University of Cologne
(https://am.uni-koeln.de/e34120/am_mitteilungen/@88/AM_2021-89_Neufassung_TT-Oplus_ger.pdf).
As a rule, the teaching load comprises four weekly hours per semester in
the first phase of the W1 position, 5 weekly hours per semester in the
second phase, and nine semester hours per week in the tenured phase
(i.e., two hours per week is one 90-minute course per semester). The
University of Cologne is committed to equal opportunities and diversity.
Women are especially encouraged to apply and will be considered
preferentially in accordance with the Equal Opportunities Act of North
Rhine-Westphalia (Landesgleichstellungsgesetz – LGG NRW). We also
expressly welcome applications from people with disabilities / special
needs or of equal status. Please submit your application via the
University of Cologne's Academic Job Portal
(https://professorships.uni-koeln.de) by September 30, 2022. Your
application should be addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
