[DMANET] Two PhD Positions on Parameterized Complexity in Graph Drawing at TU Wien, Vienna, Austria

The positions are part of the project "Parameterized Graph Drawing"
and are hosted by the Algorithms and Complexity Group at TU Wien (the
Vienna University of Technology). The accepted students will be
co-supervised by Robert Ganian and Martin Nöllenburg.

We offer the possibility of working on exciting research projects in
an international research group, with ample travel funding, and the
option of collaborating not only with postdocs and PhD students within
the project but also with other members of the Algorithms and
Complexity Group (https://www.ac.tuwien.ac.at/). There are no major
teaching obligations associated with the position and the working
language in the group is English. The starting date is flexible, but
no earlier than June 1, 2023, and the position is offered for 3.5
years with possibility of extension to 4 years. The salary will follow
the FWF's salary tables for Doctoral candidates (see
https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/personnel-costs/) and
includes standard bonuses in the form of a 13th and 14th salary,
altogether allowing for a convenient life in Vienna close to the city
center.

Applicants are required to have or soon receive a Master degree in
Computer Science, Mathematics or a related field and are expected to
have a strong interest in scientific research, at least a basic
understanding of parameterized complexity or graph drawing, and a
willingness to work in the intersection of these two fields.

The application should include the candidate's CV, a short motivation
letter, and optionally also a letter of recommendation (all in a
single pdf file; alternatively, the letter of recommendation may be
sent directly by their authors). Applicants are invited to also send a
copy of their Master thesis as a separate pdf file. The application
should mention possible starting dates and should be sent to
pgd@ac.tuwien.ac.at by Tuesday the 25th of April 2023.

Informal enquiries and questions about the position are very welcome
and should also be sent to pgd@ac.tuwien.ac.at.
