Applications are invited for

PhD opportunities in Finite & Algorithmic Model Theory

in the Logic Group at TU Darmstadt, Germany.
Available positions offer the opportunity to work towards a PhD in mathematics under the scientific
direction of Prof Martin Otto, primarily but not exclusively in the framework of a new DFG funded 
research project on the algorithmic and finite model theory of hypergraphs and of modal and guarded
logics over graphs and hypergraphs, see 
http://www3.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/index.php?id=1563&L=1.

Further topics of interest include Dr Achim Blumensath's DFG project on the expressive power of 
monadic second-order logic.

See http://www3.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/index.php?id=2220&L=1
for further information.

The logic group in the mathematics department at TU Darmstadt offers a considerable spectrum of 
expertise in various branches of mathematical logic with an emphasis on connections with other 
areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science.
