The Algorithm Engineering group at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) 
currently hosts about thirty researchers and invites applications for 
two new

	Ph.D. Students and/or Postdoctoral Researchers in Algorithms.

The research group uses methods from mathematics and computer science to 
approach a range of algorithmic areas including artificial intelligence, 
network theory and random structures. As part of the privately funded 
Faculty of Digital Engineering of the University of Potsdam, we engage 
both in teaching of outstanding and highly selected students as well as 
in internationally renowned research. The group and the institute is 
located at the beautiful Campus Griebnitzsee, at the border to Berlin, 
offering a vibrant scientific environment.

What we offer:
Inspiring research environment;
Close collaboration with other scientists;
Generous travel allowance and latest computing facilities;
Modern work space in Potsdam-Babelsberg;
Integration into an international group of researchers;
Exceptional students to work with

What we expect:
An excellent degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or a related 
discipline;
Enthusiasm for mathematical problems and scientific work;
Enjoying teamwork and collaboration;
PhD student applicants should have a desire to obtain a PhD within 3-4 
years;
Postdoctoral researchers should have developed their own research profile.

Application process:
Postdoctoral researchers from other fields of theoretical computer 
science and discrete mathematics may apply as well, but should provide a 
one-page motivation letter detailing how they fit in the research 
profile of the group.

All applications should include a detailed CV, a copy of the (Master or 
PhD) thesis; PhD-student applicants also a list of courses and grades. 
Please also mention names and contact details of one or two references 
-- preferably one from your thesis adviser.

The starting date and particular research topic is flexible.

Interested candidates should direct their questions to friedrich at hpi.de.
Applications must be sent via email, preferably as a single PDF, to 
jobs-friedrich at hpi.de by May 31, 2021. Promising PhD-student applicants 
will be asked to work out a small algorithmic open-book test within a 24 
hour time window (chosen by themselves). All promising applicants will 
be interviewed (via video call) and at the same time get the chance to 
direct further questions to the chair.
