The Institute of Algorithms and Complexity at TUHH: Hamburg University of Technology (www.algo.tuhh.de) in Hamburg, Germany offers an exciting opportunity to work in a PhD program at the forefront of algorithms and computer sciences.
The position is on algorithms / complexity / algorithmic game theory and offers the chance to develop new algorithmic approaches to questions in game theory / economics, or combinatorial and discrete optimization. This allows to apply and develop advanced methods of game theory, mathematical programming, (mixed-)integer programming, approximation algorithms and fixed-parameter tractability.
The position is fully-paid and offered with an employment contract for 3 years. It comes with social security and travel money. We provide close supervision and support by a panel of established professors and scientists. Transferable skills and career development are an integral part of the program.
The position is within Institute for Algorithms and Complexity (www.algo.tuhh.de), whose research covers a broad spectrum of algorithmic research; this includes big data algorithms, foundations of data science, combinatorial optimization, approximation and parameterized algorithms, and applications in operations research and discrete mathematics. The institute hosts several international researchers, so English is used on a daily basis as a working language.
An excellent Master degree in Computer Science, (Applied) Mathematics, Operations Research, Engineering or related field is required. Affinity with optimization, algorithms, complexity theory, or discrete mathematics is preferred. The salary of the position is determined according to level TV-L E-13 of the German public sector. The exact amount of salary depends on experience, family circumstances, tax classification and other factors. Travel funding is available, for attending conferences and workshops, and visiting other researchers.
Applications must be submitted in English through the official application form here.
Applications received by 24 October 2023 will receive full consideration. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, names and a detailed list of university courses with grades. If the candidate wishes, he or she may provide contact information of one or two letter writers who are acquainted with the applicant's previous academic activity. Any questions regarding the position should be directed to algo(at)tuhh.de.
