A three-year full-time postdoc position is available in the Algorithms 
group at the University of Würzburg, Germany. The starting date is 
August 1, 2020 (or earlier).

The position is part of a new research project on "Approximation 
Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems with Packing 
Constraints" funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation). The project 
revolves around algorithms for variants of problems arising in 
clustering, submodular optimization, network design, and geometric 
optimization.

Applicants should hold a PhD in computer science, mathematics, or in a 
related field. Prior research experience in algorithms is a necessity. 
Experience in optimization and in particular approximation algorithms or 
hardness of approximation is appreciated but not required.

The position will be within a strong, vibrant and broadly interested 
Algorithms group headed by Prof. Dr. Alexander Wolff. (Besides the 
above, the group focuses on graph drawing, computational geometry, and 
geographical information systems.)
