[DMANET] Two PhD Positions in Computational Topology and Geometry at TU Graz

Graz University of Technology offers two PhD positions in the Institute
of Geometry. The research area is computational geometry and topology.
Possible topics include topological data analysis, connections of
discrete geometry and topology, design and analysis of algorithms in
computational topology.

We offer a 4-year university assistant position (30 h/week) with a net
salary of approximately 29,000 EUR per year. The earliest starting date
for both positions is Feb 1 2026.

We are looking for outstanding students with a master's degree in
Mathematics/Computer Science or a closely related field. Knowledge in at
least one of the fields computational geometry or computational topology
is a plus. Basic knowledge in algebraic topology, theoretical computer
science, and programming skills, in particular in C++ or python, are
also desirable.

The position includes teaching duties as teaching assistant, both for
students of mathematics and others. The ability to teach in English is
required. Being able to teach in German is an advantage.

The application deadline is Dec 4 2025. Applications must be send via
