THE TU EINDHOVEN
-----------------
The Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) was established in 1956 as a
polytechnic. It has grown into a technical university with nine faculties.
The TU/e now has approximately 3000 employees and 6000 students. The
campus is in the center of Eindhoven. Eindhoven is located in the south
of the Netherlands, and is the fifth largest city with about 200,000
inhabitants.


THE FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE AT THE TU EINDHOVEN
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The faculty offers bachelors and master programs in computer science
and mathematics. Currently the faculty has more than 600 students, and
about 200 employees.  The department of computer science has a scientific
staff of about 40 people, plus a large number of postdocs and PhD students.


THE ALGORITHMS GROUP AT THE TU EINDHOVEN
----------------------------------------
The design and analysis of efficient algorithms and data structures forms
an important part of computer science. Recently a new research group working
in this area has been established at the department of computer science at
the TU Eindhoven. Computational geometry will be one of the focal points of
the group, but other areas of algorithms---graph algorithms, approximation
algorithms, or randomized algorithms for instance---fall within its area of
interest as well.

The group consists of prof.dr. Mark de Berg and prof.dr. Otfried Cheong
(permanent staff members) and dr. Joachim Gudmundsson (postdoc).
Currently there is an opening for an assistent professor in the group.

for research grants to fund students.


WE ASK
------
Candidates should have a PhD in computer science. They should have experience
in performing algorithms research, and have published in international
conferences and journals in the area. Candidates should also have teaching
experience and/or be willing to follow didactic courses.


WE OFFER
--------
You will first be appointed for a two-year period, in order to be evaluated
