Algorithm engineering is an approach to algorithmics that takes 
theoretical and practical relevance equally serious (see also
http://algo2.iti.kit.edu/1577.php). We are one of the most visible 
groups in this field and now hire postdoctoral researchers competent in 
one or several of the following areas:

- parallel algorithms, in particular
   * multicore, GPU, or MPI programming
   * load balancing and scheduling
   * communication efficient algorithms
   * parallel external memory algorithms
- graph algorithms, in particular
   * route planning
   * graph partititioning and clustering
- handling large data sets, in particular
   * algorithms for data bases
   * text indexing and string algorithms
   * space efficient/fast/distributed data structures
- using advanced techniques from discrete algorithms
   in concrete application areas, e.g.,
   * transportation science
   * particle physics
   * large scale image analysis and visualization
   * optimizing energy production and distribution

Exceptional candidates working in other areas of algorithmics
are also welcome.

The CS department at KIT is consistently ranked among the top CS
programs in Germany and situated ideally in the town center at the rim
of a big park.  Karlsruhe is near the Black Forest and the Alsace and
within one train hour from Frankfurt Airport. (See also Wikipdia.)

Corresponding to their qualification, disabled persons
will be preferred. In order to increase the number of
women in CS, we particularly welcome applications of women.
