Ph.D. Students

for the Algorithms and Complexity Department directed by Kurt Mehlhorn.

We are seeking an excellent candidate with a master's degree in mathematics, theoretical computer science or a related field. The successful applicant should carry out theoretical work in algorithmics, including related areas like computer algebra, complexity theory and discrete mathematics. The applicant should be highly motivated and efficient, and should have a strong interest in research.

The Max Planck Institute for Computer Science is located on the campus of the Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken, Germany. Currently, around 40 researchers from several nationalities work in the Algorithms and Complexity Department. Our working language is English. The group collaborates with several of the major research institutions in Europe and the U.S. and has high international visibility. There is generous travel support available for all group members.

Applications from disabled applicants are appreciated. Our institute supports the principle of equal opportunity for men and women, and is therefore interested in applications from women.

Applications (including curriculum vitae, list of publications if applicable, list of school grades, list of university grades, and names of two references with their e-mail addresses) must be sent by email in PDF format to Christina Fries (chfries@mpi-inf.mpg.de) by January 31, 2010.
