[Dirk Sudholt]

Two fully funded PhD/Postdoc positions are available at the Chair of 
Algorithms for Intelligent Systems (Prof. Dr. Dirk Sudholt) at the 
University of Passau, Germany, starting from August 2021 (negotiable).

The research group focuses on the theoretical, algorithmic analysis of 
randomised or nature-inspired algorithms such as evolutionary 
algorithms, swarm intelligence and estimation of distribution algorithms.

What we expect:

    discipline
  * Very good knowledge in the analysis of algorithms, randomised
    algorithms and/or stochastic processes
  * Enthusiasm for mathematical problems and scientific work
  * Excellent oral and written English communication skills
  * The ability to teach in German is desirable.

What we offer:

  * Cutting-edge research in a modern research field at the interface of
    theory of algorithms and artificial intelligence
  * Joining a friendly and expanding research team
  * A modern university in a city with a rich Lower Bavarian culture and
    a high quality of life
