Subject: 	[DMANET] PhD and postdoc positions in theory of distributed 
algorithms
Date: 	Wed, 1 Jun 2022 14:57:47 +0200
From: 	Sebastian Brandt <brandt at cispa.de>
To: 	dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de



Several PhD and Postdoc positions are available in the Theory of 
Distributed Algorithms group of Sebastian Brandt 
(https://scbrandt.github.io/ which is part of the Algorithms & Theory 
branch at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in 
Saarbruecken. The newly founded group aims for being one of the leading 
reseach groups in the area of distributed and parallel algorithms, with 
a strong emphasis on cutting-edge research. For an introduction to our 
research, please visit https://scbrandt.github.io/#introduction>
PhD positions:
The ideal candidate has an excellent master's (or, in exceptional cases, 
bachelor's) degree in computer science or a related field. We expressly 
encourage bright students from maths (in particular pure maths) to apply 
if they are interested in algorithmic questions. A background in 
distributed or parallel algorithms is not necessary.

Postdoc positions:
The ideal candidate has a strong background in algorithmic research, 
with publications in leading TCS conferences or journals, and is 
interested in working in the area of distributed and parallel 
algorithms. The candidate is expected to have a doctoral degree, or to 
complete her/his PhD soon. The postdoc positions are typically for 1 to 
2 years, but can possibly be extended. We encourage postdocs to develop 
their own research agenda.

What we offer:
All positions are fully funded and come with excellent working 
conditions, such as a competitive salary, social security, 30 days of 
vacation, and generous travel support. Saarbruecken is considered as one 
of the top locations for computer science in Europe, with the Saarland 
Informatics Campus being home to Saarland University and several leading 
research institutes (such as the Helmholtz Center, two Max Planck 
Institutes, a Fraunhofer Institute, and more), offering a vibrant 
atmosphere and ideal conditions for collaboration. Beyond that, the 
Theory of Distributed Algorithms group has established strong ties to 
other leading research groups across Europe, creating further potential 
for collaboration and research visits.

The Theory of Distributed Algorithms group is committed to providing a 
healthy work environment and fostering diversity and respectful 
interaction. We welcome applications by candidates from all backgrounds.

Participation in teaching is encouraged, but not required. The starting 
dates of the positions are flexible although we would prefer to fill 
them as soon as possible. Knowledge of German is not necessary.

We will accept applications until the positions are filled. However, for 
full consideration, please submit your application by June 28, 2022, via 
one of the following links which also specify the required (marked with 
a star) and optional documents.

Please explicitly indicate in your cover letter that the application is 
for the group of Sebastian Brandt (as the application portal is used 
CISPA-wide).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Sebastian Brandt 
(brandt at cispa.de). Informal inquiries are welcome.
