[DMANET] PhD Position in Algorithms/Theory at Augusta University

Dear all,

We are looking for one PhD student with a strong interest in algorithms and distributed computing.

Location: School of Computer & Cyber Sciences, Augusta University, Georgia, USA


## Research Topic

The research will broadly focus on the theoretical foundations of distributed computing. This project aims to develop new distributed algorithms that handle dynamic changes efficiently and ensure privacy, so no server learns more than necessary about the output produced at other servers.


## Expected Background

* Having a strong interest in algorithms, theoretical computer science, or discrete mathematics is essential.

* Being familiar with distributed computing is helpful but not required.

* For concrete examples of the research that will be expected, please take a look at the publications here:

## Interested?

The successful candidate will be supervised by Assoc.Prof. Peter Robinson. You can find more information about how to apply for the doctoral program here: https://www.augusta.edu/ccs/phd-ccs.php

Please get in touch with me ( perobinson@augusta.edu ) to discuss your application.

Best,
Peter Robinson
