[DMANET] PhD position in algorithm engineering at KIT Karlsruhe

=======================================================================
The group Theoretical Computer Science / Parallel Computing (Juniorprof.
Meyerhenke) at the Department of Informatics of Karlsruhe Institute of
Technology (KIT) is inviting applications for the position of a

Research Assistant (m/f) (pay grade 13 TV-L)

starting as soon as possible. This full-time position is initially
limited to three years. The pursuit of a Ph.D. degree as part of this
position is explicitly supported.


Working Area:
-------------

In the focus of this position are research projects in parallel
algorithm engineering. The research group, which has been established
only recently, is primarily concerned with the development of practical
sequential and parallel algorithms for problems from graph theory and
combinatorial scientific computing. Examples are the analysis of large
(social) networks and the acceleration of scientific simulations.

Further responsibilities as part of the position include teaching
tutorials and the supervision of bachelor and master students. That is
why at least basic knowledge of German is desirable.


Requirements:
-------------

* Very good university degree (Master or equivalent) in computer
science or a related field, in particular (applied) mathematics
* Knowledge in algorithm engineering, in particular proficiency in
software development as well as in theoretical analysis of algorithms
* Knowledge in parallel programming is a plus, but no requirement
* Self-motivation, team spirit and willingness to work in
interdisciplinary projects


KIT is pursuing a gender equality policy. We would therefore
particularly encourage qualified women to apply. If qualified,
handicapped applicants will be preferred.


Please send your application documents (cover letter, CV, copies of
certificates and the contact information of two references) by 7th
November 2011 to:
