The Chair of Algorithms and Complexity Theory at Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg aims to fill, at the
next possible date, the position of
Research Assistant (postdoc or PhD) (m/f/d) in DFG Project LogAlgo
(100% of regular working hours; pay grade 13 TV-L)
The contract is limited to 3 years.
The position is funded by the DFG within the project LogAlgo. The aim of the project is to develop
highly efficient algorithms for logic-defined classes of problems on graphs, networks, and databases.
The algorithms operate with local access to the input only but nevertheless come guarantees on the
quality of the solution and resource consumption. Lower bounds will also be investigated.
Since the project requires in-depth knowledge of several different areas, we expect to be filling it by a
postdoc. However, strong PhD candidates are also encouraged to apply.
Job description:
- Contribution to the research project LogAlgo
- Publication and exchange with the scientific community
- Involvement in teaching is encouraged (max. 2 SWS)
Requirements:
- Academic degree (Master’s or equivalent) in computer science or mathematics
- PhD in computer science or mathematics (if applying for a postdoc)
- A background in at least two of the following areas: property testing and sublinear algorithms;
logic, preferably algorithmic model theory or database theory; graph algorithms and complexity,
in particular fixed-parameter algorithms.
