MADALGO PhD student and Post Doc Positions
MADALGO, Center for MAssive Data ALGOrithmics, is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center
is located at the Department of Computer Science, University of
Aarhus, Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, the Max Planck Institute for
Informatics and at Frankfurt University. The center covers all areas of
the design, analysis and implementation of algorithms and data
structures for processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover
computations where data is large compared to the computational
resources), but initial focus will mainly be on I/O-efficient,
cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See http://www.madalgo.au.dk
for more information.
Starting in August 2008 or later several positions are available
MADALGO, under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~large) and Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~gerth):
Several PhD student positions are available. The positions are
administered through the BRICS International PhD School (www.brics.dk)
and include full tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship.
Applications are welcomed from students with at least three years of
full-time study by summer of 2008. Students with a strong background
in the design and analysis of algorithms will be preferred.
Several Postdoctoral position at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science are also available. Applications are
welcomed from researchers with clearly demonstrated experience and
skills in the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures.
Applicants with experience with I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious or
streaming algorithms, as well as with implementation of such algorithms
(algorithm engineering experience), will be preferred. The
responsibilities of the candidates include work on algorithms for
massive dataset problems in collaboration with center researchers, along
with modest teaching responsibilities.
For further information contact Center Leader, Professor Lars Arge at
large@madalgo.au.dk.
Applicants for the post doc positions should apply by uploading a
letter of interest and a CV, as well as indicate at least two names of
references for recommendations, using the application form available
at www.madalgo.au.dk.
Applicants for the PhD student positions should apply using the BRICS
PhD school application form also accessible from www.madalgo.au.dk.
To be assured of full consideration, applications must arrive by
April 15, 2008. Applications will be considered until the positions
are filled.
