[DMANET] PhD/PostDoc position in Algorithms and Discrete Maths

The Chair of Algorithms and Complexity Theory at
Otto-Friedrich-Universität of Bamberg, Germany,
aims to fill, starting on the next possible date, one position as

PhD Student/PostDoc - Scientific Employee/Akademischer Rat auf Zeit (m/f/d)
(Full-/or part time in "Entgeltgruppe" TV-L E 13)

The position is available for a term of 3 years initially with the
possibility of an extension.

Your role:
• The goal is to combine methods from graph theory, logic, and
combinatorics to the development of
highly efficient algorithms that come with guarantees, and to
investigate mathematical conjectures
in the area.
• The position includes teaching assistance of 5 SWS (5 x 45 min per
week) at the chair. This can be done in
German or English. An intention to learn German is appreciated.

Applicants for a postdoc position: a habilitation is possible and
supported, the position is a 3-year
position initially, with the possibility of an extension for another 3
years after a positive evaluation.

Applicants for a PhD: the position is a 3-year position initially, with
the possibility of an extension
to finish the PhD.

Your Profile:
Successful candidates will have an excellent academic track record and a
clear motivation to obtain a
PhD/conduct postdoctoral research. In particular, candidates should be
fluent in mathematical proof
techniques and have a background in at least one of the following areas
of computer science/mathematics:
• graph theory and algorithms, in particular fixed-parameter algorithms,
• property testing and sublinear algorithms,
• logic, preferably algorithmic model theory or database theory

Please see [1] for further details.

You are welcome to contact Isolde Adler (isolde.adler@uni-bamberg.de)
with any questions.

Applications:
Please email your application (including a short letter of motivation,
CV and list of publications (if any),
certificates/reports, contact details of two references) combined into
one PDF to

applications.algoc@uni-bamberg.de

Deadline for applications: 16 July 2023.
