[DMANET] Assistant/Associate Professor positions in Algorithms at University of Southern Denmark

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science<https://www.sdu.dk/en/om_sdu/institutter_centre/imada_matematik_og_datalogi> (IMADA), SDU, Odense, Denmark, invites applications for positions in Algorithms at the levels of assistant and associate professor. Applicants are asked to state in their letter of application on which level they wish to apply. The intended starting date is 1 August 2024 with room for flexibility. The application deadline is 1 February 2024.

The current focus areas of the Algorithms research conducted at IMADA include combinatorial optimization, online algorithms, graph theory, data structures, complexity theory, cryptology, and algorithmic cheminformatics. We are interested in strong applicants who can contribute to these topics or complement them with new and promising directions, including applications of algorithms. (Read about the algorithms group: https://algorithms.sdu.dk/.)

We are looking for candidates
* With a PhD and research background in Computer Science with a focus on Algorithms.
* With a strong track record of publications in top-level conferences and journals, relative to academic age.
* Who can contribute to teaching and advising in the department's Bachelor, Master's and PhD programmes in Computer Science. The ability to support related degrees (such as Data Science and Artificial Intelligence) is a plus.

For applicants for a position of assistant professor, we expect a research track record that shows considerable potential. An appointment as assistant professor lasts for three years, and contingent on successful completion of a lecturer training programme and a positive performance evaluation, a permanent position as associate professor is normally opened, for which the assistant professor can apply.

For applicants for a position of associate professor, we expect a recognized research track record of more than four years after the PhD and demonstrated ability to direct independent research projects and obtain external funding. In addition, applicants are expected to have substantial experience in teaching and supervision. The associate professorship position is a tenured position.

Fluency in English is required, whereas knowledge of Danish is not a prerequisite for application. More than half of the research staff members in computer science have international backgrounds. Successful applicants will be offered Danish courses by the university.

For further information and questions on the positions, please contact Professor Kim Skak Larsen kslarsen@imada.sdu.dk<mailto:kslarsen@imada.sdu.dk>.

Odense provides family-friendly living conditions with the perfect combination of a historic city centre with an urban feel and yet a close proximity to beaches and recreational areas. Its location on the beautiful island of Funen is ideal with easy access by train or highway to the bigger cities of Aarhus and Copenhagen. As the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark's famous fairy tale author, the city is home to a vibrant and creative population and hosts numerous festivals and markets throughout the year.
