Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in all areas related to Efficient 
Algorithms and the Foundations of Theoretical Computer Science (f/m/d) 
Saarbrücken, Deutschland

The CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security provides a unique 
work environment that offers the advantages of a university department 
and a research laboratory alike. As the latest member of the Helmholtz 
Association, the largest research organization in Germany, CISPA has 
embarked on a mission: to rethink the digitalized world of the future 
from the ground up and make it safer through innovative cutting-edge 
research. In the medium term, the center will grow to more than 800 
employees with 60 Faculty and research group leaders. Faculty receive 
extremely competitive institutional funding, enjoy academic freedom, and 
build and lead their team of young researchers, and are granted the 
opportunity to teach graduate and undergraduate courses.

CISPA is located in Saarbrücken, in the tri-border area of Germany, 
France, and Luxembourg. We maintain an international and diverse work 
environment and seek applications from outstanding researchers 
worldwide. The working language is English. A command of German is not 
required for a successful career at CISPA.

CISPA is looking for candidates that hold a doctoral degree in computer 
science or related areas and have an outstanding research track record 
in all areas related to efficient algorithms and the foundations of 
theoretical computer science, including

-  the design of efficient algorithms,
-  data structures,
-  differential privacy,
-  algorithmic fairness,
-  computational complexity,
-  theory of cryptography.

All applicants are expected to build up a research team that pursues an 
internationally visible research agenda.

Tenure-track positions are intended for candidates with excellent 
research credentials and the potential to pursue a program of innovative 
research. The positions are comparable to tenure-track positions at a 
leading university, and come with two full time research staff positions 
and generous support for other expenses.

CISPA also has openings in the general areas of Information Security and 
Privacy, Machine Learning and Data Science, and Software Engineering, 
Program Analysis and Formal Methods. CISPA also offers positions for 
Tenured Faculty in these areas.
