[DMANET] WWTF Vienna Research Groups for Young Investigators

The Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) has currently an open call in the "Vienna Research Groups for Young Investigators" programme in the field of "Mathematics and..." (seehttps://www.wwtf.at/upload/VRG17_web.pdf). The call invites applications of outstanding early-career scientists (2-8 years post PhD), interested in establishing their first independent research group in an interdisciplinary field, connecting "Mathematics" with natural or social sciences.

In this context, the Algorithms and Complexity Group at TU Wien (https://www.ac.tuwien.ac.at), is looking for outstanding candidates linking Mathematics with (a) computational social choice or (b) big data algorithmics, who are interested in submitting an application to the WWTF call.

Requirements: Applicants should have an excellent track record demonstrating the innovative application of mathematical methods in one of the two above mentioned areas with a particular focus on algorithmic and complexity theoretic questions. Other topics overlapping with the research interests of the Algorithms and Complexity Group are parameterised complexity, fixed-parameter algorithms, and kernelization.

Application procedure: For a first step, informal inquiries, including a CV with publication list, list of research projects, and a two-page description of a potential topic for a WWTF grant application should be sent to Doris Dicklberger<dicklberger@ac.tuwien.ac.at> as soon as possible but no later than June 11, 2017.

Female applicants are explicitly encouraged to apply.
