The position is within Institute for Algorithms and Complexity (<a
href="https://www.algo.tuhh.de" moz-do-not-send="true">www.algo.tuhh.de</a>),
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.<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia,

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. </p>
<p>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.<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

</p>
<p> 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<br>
and basic teaching experience are desirable.</p>
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. <br style="color:
