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
crystallography and imaging. 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,

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:

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>
