PhD and postdoc positions are available in the new HertzChair in the 
Transdisciplinary Research Area for Modelling at the University of Bonn, 
to be established by Prof. László Végh.The focus of the group is on 
fundamental questions at the crossroads of mathematical 
optimization,theoretical computer science, mathematical economics, and 
game theory. Possible research topics include efficient algorithms for 
linear and convex programming and their geometric aspects, equilibrium 
computation in games and markets, resource allocation and fair division 
problems, approximation algorithms, network optimization, and problems 
at the interface of optimization and machine learning.

We are a dynamic, multi-cultural, andinclusive team, and will benefit 
from the exceptional research environment at the University of Bonn. The
