[DMANET] PhD Position at RWTH Aachen

Applications are invited for a PhD position in theoretical computer science at the RWTH Aachen University. The successful applicant is expected to carry out research related to graph isomorphism and similar problems (interpreted in a wide sense). The position is one of several funded in the project "Logic, Structure, and the Graph Isomorphism Problem" lead by Martin Grohe and Pascal Schweitzer (funded by the DFG).

The ideal candidate should have a strong interest in the theory of computation and a solid background in computer science and mathematics, especially algorithms and complexity theory. All applicants should have an excellent master's degree in computer science, mathematics, or a related discipline. Applications should include a detailed CV, a copy of master thesis, a brief statement of research interests, and a list of publications (if applicable). Please also mention names and contact details of one or two references, preferably one from the thesis advisor.

The position is fulltime and can be started as soon as possible for the applicant. The position is funded for two years, with a possible extension of at least another year.
