A postdoctoral position in algorithms is available in the research group 
of Prof. Dr. Klaus
Jansen, Algorithms and Complexity at the Department of Computer Science 
of Kiel
University (CAU Kiel), Germany, within the research project

  "Structural results and their application in scheduling and packing 
problems"

funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
The position is for 3 years (TV-L 13) starting 1st September 2017 (the 
exact date is
negotiable).

The main research focus of the DFG project is to prove structural 
results for integer linear
programs and to design FPT algorithms and approximation algorithms
for bin packing and scheduling on identical machines. Therefore, the 
applicant should have a
strong interest in Theoretical Computer Science, particularly in 
Algorithms.

Applicants should hold (or should be close to obtaining) a PhD degree in 
Computer Science
or Mathematics, and should have a solid publication record in the area 
of algorithms and
complexity. Top conferences in this area include STOC, FOCS, SODA, IPCO, 
ESA, ICALP,
and STACS.

Kiel University aims at increasing the number of women in research and 
academic teaching
and strongly encourages applications of accordingly qualified women. 
Women will be
preferred, provided equal qualifications and scientific performance.
The CAU supports the employment of severely disabled persons. Therefore, 
severely
disabled persons will be preferred, provided equal qualifications and 
scientific performance.

Applicants with a migration background are particularly welcomed.


The application material should include (1) a cover letter describing 
the interest in the
position, (2) a CV and a list of publications, (3) copies of university 
certificates and (4) the
names and contact information of at least two references. The material 
should be sent
electronically until July 14, 2017 to Klaus Jansen under 
<kj at informatik.uni-kiel.de>.
