TECHNOLOGY (TUHH)

--
The Institute of Algorithms and Complexity at TUHH: Hamburg University 
of Technology (http://tuhh.de) in Hamburg, Germany invites applications 
for one permanent position at the rank of Senior Engineer 
(Oberingenieur). The focus of this position is research in the general 
area of algorithms, applied to combinatorial optimization, operations 
research, discrete mathematics, and related fields. Exceptional 
candidates who enhance the research profile and teaching needs of the 
institute may also be considered.

The position is within the newly formed Institute for Algorithms and 
Complexity, 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.

The institute is located in the newly built Hamburg Innovation Port 
(http://channel-hamburg.de/bueroflaechen/hamburg-innovation-port/), 
which is located right at the Harburg harbour with great views of the 
harbour and Hamburg's famous opera house (Elbphilharmonie). TU Hamburg

transport for the Hamburg metropolitan area, a sports centre on campus, 
family-friendly working hours, healthy campus initiatives, and more. 
Several other institutes of the TU Hamburg, the Helmholtz Center for 
Data Science, and the German Air and Space Research Center (DLR) are 
located in the area. They are all located in the Free and Hanseatic City 
of Hamburg, which is Germany's second largest city, home to a population 
of ca. 1.8 million people. It is a famous city of trade and commerce, 
with several universities and much research in algorithms.

A Ph.D. degree and evidence of excellence in research and teaching are 
required. Successful applicants are expected to maintain an active 
program of research, to attract and supervise graduate students, and to 
participate in undergraduate and graduate teaching. Teaching is 
generally conducted in English. Knowledge of German is not strictly 
necessary but considered an advantage. The salary of the position is 
determined according to level TV-L E-14 of German public sector. The 
exact amount of salary depends on experience, family circumstances, tax 
classification and other factors. The position is available with 
immediate effect.
