PhD or PostDoc positions in Discrete Algorithms and Data Structures at Dortmund

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

The group of Johannes Fischer
(ls11-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/fischer/start)
offers 2 full-time PhD or PostDoc positions 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.
