currently hosts about twenty researchers and invites applications for one
new
Ph.D. Student in (Random) Algorithms.
The research group uses methods from mathematics and computer science to
approach a range of algorithmic areas including artificial intelligence,
network theory and random structures. As part of the privately funded
Faculty of Digital Engineering of the University of Potsdam, we engage both
in the teaching of outstanding and highly selected students as well as in
internationally renowned research. The group and the institute are located
at the beautiful Campus Griebnitzsee, at the border to Berlin, offering a
vibrant scientific environment.
What we offer:
- Inspiring research environment;
- Close collaboration with other scientists;
- Generous travel allowance and latest computing facilities;
- Modern work space in Potsdam-Babelsberg;
- Integration into an international group of researchers;
- Exceptional students to work with;
- A generous tax-free stipend.
What we expect:
- An excellent degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or a related
discipline;
- Enthusiasm for mathematical problems and scientific work;
- Enjoying teamwork and collaboration;
- PhD student applicants should have a desire to obtain a PhD within 3-4
years.
Application process:
- All applications should include a detailed CV, a copy of the Master
thesis and a list of courses and grades.
- Name one of Timo Kötzing, Andreas Göbel, George Skretas and Marcus Pappik
from our group and discuss (briefly) why you find their work interesting.
- Please also mention the names and contact details of one or two
references -- preferably one from your thesis adviser.
- The starting date and particular research topic are flexible.
- Interested candidates should direct their questions to Timo Kötzing.
- Applications must be sent via email, preferably as a single PDF, to Timo
Kötzing via jobs-friedrich(at)hpi.de by November 15, 2023.
- Promising PhD-student applicants will be asked to work out a small
algorithmic open-book test within a 24-hour window (chosen by themselves).
- After successfully completing that stage, applicants will be interviewed
(via video call) and at the same time get the chance to direct further
questions to the chair.
