[DMANET] PhD Position at FU Berlin

We announce

ONE PH.D. POSITION (full)

at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, at the Department of Computer
Science, as part of the research project "Geometric Algorithms with
Limited Work-Sapce" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The
position is for three years. The project is supervised by Wolfgang
Mulzer (http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/mulzer/) and Günter Rote
(http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/rote). It takes place within the theory
group at FU Berlin (http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/inst/ag-ti/).

The aim of the project is to develop new algorithms and models for
geometric problems when the available work space is limited. Ideally, we
will identify time-space trade-offs for interesting geometric problems
and be able to obtain meaningful lower bounds.

We expect that the candidate has a Master Degree in Mathematics or
Computer Science and a solid background in discrete mathematics,
probability theory and theory of algorithms. Ideally, the
applicant has knowledge in at least one of the following fields:
computational geometry, probabilistic algorithms, data structures.

Please send your applications consisting of

- a cover letter,
- curriculum vitae,
- the Master thesis (preliminary version, if not finished),
- (optional) a letter of reference (to be directly sent to us),

to mulzer[at]inf.fu-berlin.de. It is also possible to apply via postal
mail. In this case send your application to

Wolfgang Mulzer
Institut für Informatik
Freie Universität Berlin
Takustraße 9
14195 Berlin
Germany


If you have further questions about the position, please send an email
to mulzer[at]inf.fu-berlin.de .

The application deadline is March 31, 2014.
