[Job-offers-cs] Fully funded PhD and Postdoc position in computational geometry at Aalto University

[Pekka Orponen]

We invite applications for PhD student and Postdoctoral researcher 
positions in geometric algorithms, to be funded by the Research Council 
of Finland grant "Algorithms in Hyperbolic Geometry". The work will take 
place at Aalto University in the Helsinki region in Finland. For both 
positions the daily supervision will be carried out by Sandor 
Kisfaludi-Bak.

PhD position: The successful applicant will be employed by Aalto 
University for four years (assuming successful evaluation
after two years). If you

* have or are about to obtain a Master's degree in Computer Science, 
Mathematics, or a closely related area
* enjoy doing research on algorithms and their computational complexity
* like working on geometric problems
*
have a strong background in theoretical computer science (especially 
algorithms), geometry, or discrete mathematics

then do not hesitate to apply. Knowledge about hyperbolic geometry is 
not a requirement.

Postdoctoral researcher position: The successful applicant will be 
employed by Aalto University for two years. If you

*
have or are about to obtain a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science or 
Mathematics related to geometric algorithms
*
enjoy designing approximation and parameterized algorithms and proving 
computational complexity lower bounds
* like working on geometric problems
*
in addition to your background in algorithms, you have some background 
in geometry or discrete mathematics

then do not hesitate to apply. Knowledge about hyperbolic geometry is 
not a requirement.
