[DMANET] PhD / postdoc position in Theoretical Computer Science @ TU Ilmenau

PhD / postdoc position in Theoretical Computer Science @ TU Ilmenau

The algorithms group at TU Ilmenau offers a 3-year PhD or postdoc
position (extension possible) under the supervision of Christoph
Berkholz.


About the algorithms group

The research focus of our group is to gain a deep understanding of
algorithmic strategies and their inherent limitations. During this
endeavor we have been working on algorithms and complexity questions
in e.g.

* database theory
* constraint satisfaction
* graph isomorphism,
* propositional proof complexity
* knowledge compilation

the ideal candidate should be interested in at least one of these areas.

Our emerging group is part of the Institute for Theoretical Computer
Science and is headed by Christoph Berkholz since August 2022;
currently four PhD students and one postdoc are part of our team. Find
out more about us at www.tu-ilmenau.de/algo .


About Ilmenau

TU Ilmenau is located in a small university city, which is surrounded
by the beautiful nature of the Thuringian Forest and is easily
reachable from the city of Erfurt. While having a lively academic
community and plenty of campus activities, Ilmenau allows you to stay
focused with short distances and little organizational overhead. As
part of our team, you will teach small groups of students and work on
current research problems in collaboration with us and the global
theory community.
