[Job-offers-cs] Assistant/Associate Professor positions in Algorithms at University of Southern Denmark

[Pekka Orponen]

The Department of Mathematics and Computer 
Science<https://www.sdu.dk/en/om_sdu/institutter_centre/imada_matematik_og_datalogi 
(IMADA), SDU, Odense, Denmark, invites applications for positions in 
Algorithms at the levels of assistant and associate professor. 
Applicants are asked to state in their letter of application on which 
level they wish to apply. The intended starting date is 1 August 2024 
with room for flexibility. The application deadline is 1 February 2024.


The current focus areas of the Algorithms research conducted at IMADA 
include combinatorial optimization, online algorithms, graph theory, 
data structures, complexity theory, cryptology, and algorithmic 
cheminformatics. We are interested in strong applicants who can 
contribute to these topics or complement them with new and promising 
directions, including applications of algorithms. (Read about the 
algorithms group: https://algorithms.sdu.dk/>
We are looking for candidates
* With a PhD and research background in Computer Science with a focus on 
Algorithms.
* With a strong track record of publications in top-level conferences 
and journals, relative to academic age.
* Who can contribute to teaching and advising in the department's 
Bachelor, Master’s and PhD programmes in Computer Science. The ability 
to support related degrees (such as Data Science and Artificial 
Intelligence) is a plus.

For applicants for a position of assistant professor, we expect a 
research track record that shows considerable potential. An appointment 
as assistant professor lasts for three years, and contingent on 
successful completion of a lecturer training programme and a positive 
performance evaluation, a permanent position as associate professor is 
normally opened, for which the assistant professor can apply.

For applicants for a position of associate professor, we expect a 
recognized research track record of more than four years after the PhD 
and demonstrated ability to direct independent research projects and 
obtain external funding. In addition, applicants are expected to have 
substantial experience in teaching and supervision. The associate 
professorship position is a tenured position.

Fluency in English is required, whereas knowledge of Danish is not a 
prerequisite for application. More than half of the research staff 
members in computer science have international backgrounds. Successful 
applicants will be offered Danish courses by the university.

Odense provides family-friendly living conditions with the perfect 
combination of a historic city centre with an urban feel and yet a close

Christian Andersen, Denmark's famous fairy tale author, the city is home 
to a vibrant and creative population and hosts numerous festivals and 
markets throughout the year.
