<br>
Several PhD and Postdoc positions are available in the Theory of
Distributed Algorithms group of Sebastian Brandt
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://scbrandt.github.io/">https://scbrandt.github.io/</a> 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

PhD positions:<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Postdoc positions:<br>
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.<br>
<br>
What we offer:<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
