PHD POSITIONS IN ALGORITHMIC GRAPH THEORY AT HAMBURG UNIVERSITY OF 
TECHNOLOGY (TUHH)
--
The Institute of Algorithms and Complexity at TUHH: Hamburg University 
of Technology (www.algo.tuhh.de <https://tuhh.de>) in Hamburg, Germany 
invites applications for two fully-paid PhD positions. The successful 
candidate will join the project "Resilient Broadcasting via Independent 
Spanning Trees". The position is offered with an employment contract for 
3 years, and comes with social security and generous travel money.

The position is within Institute for Algorithms and Complexity 
(www.algo.tuhh.de <https://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.

The institute is located in the newly built Hamburg Innovation Port 
(www.hamburg-innovation-port.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/01-HIPtuhhlogowasser_web.jpg 
<https://www.hamburg-innovation-port.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/01-HIPtuhhlogowasser_web.jpg>), 
which is located right at the Harburg harbour with great views of the 
harbour and Hamburg's famous opera house (Elbphilharmonie). Several 
other institutes of the TU Hamburg are located in the area, as well as 
DASHH - Data Science in Hamburg, the Helmholtz Graduate School for the 
Structure of Matter, and the German Air and Space Research Center (DLR). 
They are all located in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, which is 
Germany's second largest city, home to a population of about 1.8 million 
people. It is a famous city of entertainment, trade and commerce, with 
several universities and much research in algorithms.

TU Hamburg offers several attractive benefits, including subsidized 
public transport for the Hamburg metropolitan area, a sports centre on 
campus, family-friendly working hours, healthy campus initiatives, and more.

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 research focus will be on structural and 
algorithmic graph theory, and centers around the famous Independent 
Spanning Tree Conjecture. Candidates should therefore have an excellent 
background in graph theory and/or efficient algorithms. Solid English 
mathematical writing skills
and basic teaching experience are desirable.

The position comes with a mild teaching load (10% of work time), which 
is generally conducted in English. 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. Generous travel funding is available, 
for attending conferences and workshops, and visiting other researchers.
Interested individuals should apply using the official application 
portal of the vacancy:

Applications can also be submitted in English. Applications received by 
22 September 2020 will receive full consideration. Applications should 
include a curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, names and contact 
information of two references who are acquainted with the applicant's 
previous academic and/or research/professional activity, a detailed list 
of university courses with grades. Any questions regarding the position 
should be directed to Matthias Mnich (matthias.mnich at tuhh.de
