The Institute of Algorithms and Complexity at TUHH:
Hamburg University of Technology (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://tuhh.de">www.tuhh.de</a>)
in Hamburg, Germany offers an exciting opportunity to
work in a PhD program at the forefront of applied
optimization/algorithms in the natural sciences.</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">The PhD position is on
applied optimization/algorithms and offers the chance to
develop new algorithmic approaches to convex
optimization problems, with a particular focus on
optimization problems arising in the natural sciences.
The project offers the opportunity to experimentally
verify the performance of the newly developed methods on
real data which are obtained at Hamburg's world-leading
large-scale research facilities (PETRA III, FLASH,
European X-ray Free Electron Laser, DESY).<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">The position is
fully-paid (100%) and offered for a period of 3 years.
It comes with social security and generous travel money.
We provide close supervision and support by a panel of
established professors and scientists. Transferable
skills and career development are an integral part of
the PhD program, which is offered in conjunction with
the graduate school "DASHH – Data Science in Hamburg –
Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter" (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="www.dashh.org"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">www.dashh.org</a>). 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. Travel funding is
available, for attending conferences and workshops, and
visiting other researchers. </div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">The successful
candidate will join the TUHH Institute for Algorithms
and Complexity (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.algo.tuhh.de">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 for Algorithms and Complexity
at TU Hamburg currently hosts several international
researchers, so English is used on a daily basis as a
working language.<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

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>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,

An excellent Master degree in (Applied) Mathematics,
Mathematical Physics, Computer Science, Engineering or
related field is required. Affinity with optimization,
algorithms, or discrete mathematics is preferred. In
particular, background in mathematical optimization,
convex optimization, signal processing or image
processing is appreciated. Programming experience is
considered a plus.<br>
