We invite applications for a postdoctoral position within the Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (SCAI) in the German National Research Center for Computer Science (GMD), St. Augustin.
In the SCAI institute, Prof. Thomas Lengauer heads a group that is concerned with discrete models and algorithms for applications in scientific disciplines such as chemistry and molecular biology, as well as for technical applications such as circuit design, leather and textile cutting, and three-dimensional packing. Prof. Ulrich Trottenberg heads a group that engages in numerical algorithms, especially on parallel computers, for applications such as weather prediction, fluid dynamics, and computational chemistry.
The objective of the position is to perform basic research on discrete algorithms that can be the basis for molecular modeling procedures. This work encompasses deterministic as well as stochastic models on the basis of algorithmic graph theory. The programming work inside the group happens on workstations (Sun and SGI) as well as on parallel computers, such as the CM-5 and the IBM SP-2.
We are looking for applicants with a recent Ph.D. in computer science or mathematics, that specialize in the analysis of discrete structures and algorithms. Especially, we are interested in people with extensive knowledge of graph theory and graph algorithms, including the analysis of random graphs. We are expecting contributions both in theoretical analysis and in experimental work on the computer. The applicants should have sufficient programming practise, especially in C and Unix.
The position can be filled immediately. The term of employment is up to three years. The salary is according to the German public service tariff, level BAT IIa. Applications should provide a resume', list of publications, statement of research interest, and two references. Applications and requests for further information can be addressed to:
