[Johannes Fischer]

**********************************************************************
TU Dortmund (Germany): PhD or PostDoc position in Discrete Algorithms
    	    	       and Data Structures
**********************************************************************

The group of Johannes Fischer at the Algorithm
Engineering chair offers a full-time PhD or PostDoc
position in the broad area of Discrete Algorithms or Data Structures,
starting as soon as possible. We seek:

* PhD-students with an excellent Master's (or equivalent) degree in
   computer science and a strong interest in algorithms and data
   structures, to be documented, e.g., with specialization in those
   topics and very good grades.
* PostDocs with a PhD in computer science and a strong background in
   discrete algorithms and data structures, to be documented, e.g.,
   with a strong publication record in those fields.

Research areas of the group include:

- string algorithmics,
- text indexing for big data,
- indexes for approximate pattern matching
- text compression and compressed text indexing,
- external memory indexes,
- space efficient data structures, and
- shared memory and distributed parallel computing,

but other research topics fitting into the areas of stringology or
compressed data structures are also welcome.

Good communication skills and solid English writing skills are
mandatory. There are moderate teaching obligations (TA) for which
knowledge of German or the commitment to study it quickly is necessary.

The position is initially for 3 years, but can be extended for up to
3 more years by mutual consent. The net salaries range from around EUR
2500/month in the first year up to 3200 EUR/month in the final year
(both higher for persons with children), including a full health
insurance and other welfare benefits. Postdocs might start with a
slightly higher income.

Please send by email (pdf format only):
- a cover letter, in which you give the names and email-addresses of
   at least one (PhD-students) or two (PostDocs) referees who would be
   willing to write a letter of recommendation (e.g., your thesis
   supervisor)
- your CV
- your motivation to work in the area (PhD-students) or
   a short research plan (Postdocs; max. 2 pages)
- your Master's or PhD-thesis
- PhD-students only: copies of transcripts showing your courses taken
   and their grades
- list of publications and copies of your two or three most relevant
   papers (if available)

if you have further inquiries.

The Technical University of Dortmund has one of the largest
Computer Science department in Germany and offers a very stimulating
environment for algorithm theory and algorithm engineering.

Dortmund is situated on the edge of Germany's largest urban
conglomeration, the Ruhr Area with approx. 5 million inhabitants, and
offers all opportunities for leisure time activities.
The city is located almost in the center of Germany and has excellent
train connections to Germany and beyond. Dortmund has also a small
international airport; larger airports in Frankfurt and Duesseldorf
are also easily reachable by train.

All applications arriving before June 15, 2024 will be given full
consideration, but the call remains open until the positions have been
filled. Successful applicants are expected to start in summer/autumn
2024, but this is negotiable.
