Positions for doctoral studies in Algorithms and Discrete Mathematics at ETH Zurich

[Emo Welzl]

ETH Zurich offers positions for doctoral studies in the
"Theory of Combinatorial Algorithms"-group under the
supervision of Bernd Gaertner, Joachim Giesen, Tibor
Szabo, or Emo Welzl, see  http://www.ti.inf.ethz.ch/ew/ .

Possible research areas include

- computational geometry and topology,
- approximate methods for high-dimensional geometric problems,
- geometric optimization and its combinatorial models,
- extremal problems in combinatorics and discrete geometry, and
- satisfiability of boolean formulas.

A Master or "Diplom" degree are required by the start of
the employment. Applicants are expected to have a solid
background in Theoretical Computer Science and/or Discrete
Mathematics. Some of the topics, however, require experimental
and implementation work or have emphasis on applications and
practical issues.

Qualified applicants of all nationalities are welcome. The
working language of the group is English, knowledge of German
is not required.

The employment is full-time and comes with a competitive
salary. Teaching one exercise class per semester and
participation in general matters of the group are expected.
Earliest starting date is April 1, 2005.

Applications with a detailed CV, a record of attended courses
(with grades), a copy of Master Thesis/Diplomarbeit  (or of some
other scientific writing), and at least one reference are to be sent
as soon as possible to

Emo Welzl
Institute of Theoretical Computer Science
ETH Zurich (Zentrum)
