PhD/Postdoc position in Discrete Optimization/Algorithm Theory Research Assistant (100{06fdc68f0c32a4bb4bc587245a8893a97471dc602b4e431d14a97651d507d6d7} TV-L 13) for 36 months
A PhD or Postdoc position is available in the “Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms Group” at TU Berlin (www.coga.tu-berlin.de), supported by the newly established DFG Priority Programme 1736 ?Algorithms for Big Data?. The task of the successful applicant is to develop new theoretical insights for a better understanding of the complexity of discrete optimization problems and algorithms with exponential output size. In particular, algorithms for time-dependent routing problems will be studied.
Candidates should have an excellent academic degree in mathematics, computer science or a related area, and must have very good knowledge in algorithmic discrete mathematics and/or algorithm theory.
Good communication skills and solid English writing skills are expected. Special knowledge on time-dependent routing problems and complexity theory are desirable.
Besides its many cultural attractions, Berlin offers a strong scientific landscape including three major universities, the international graduate program BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL (www.math-berlin.de), promoted by the German Excellence Initiative, the DFG research training group “Methods for Discrete Structures” (www.math.tu-berlin.de/MDS) and the DFG research center MATHEON (www.matheon.de); these offer opportunities for joint research and support for PhD students and postdocs (e.g., meetings, lecture series, summer schools etc.).
Applicants should send their application as *a single pdf* file containing:
- cover and motivation letter
- curriculum vitae
- copies of diplomas
- summary of thesis (max. 2 pages)
- names and contact details of one or two referees (including thesis advisor)
