We announce

ONE PostDoc Position for 18 months

at the Westf?lische Wilhelms-Universit?t M?nster, Germany, at the Institute of
Mathematical Logic, as part of the research project "Graph Drawing with Low Visual
Complexity" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The position is
for 18 months with the chance of an extension for another 18 month.
The project is supervised by Prof. Andr? Schulz ( http://cs.uni-muenster.de/u/schulz ).

The aim of the project is to develop and to evaluate new algorithms for drawing graphs
in the plane while using a small ground set of geometric objects. The
developed algorithms will be evaluated with theoretical methods and also in
online user studies.

We expect that the candidate has (or is very close to) a PhD in Computer Science
or Mathematics and a solid background in discrete math and algorithms. Ideally, the
applicant has knowledge and interest in at least one of the following fields:

- graph drawing
- algorithms
- graph theory
- computational geometry

Good programming skills are mandatory. Experience in statistical analysis of
empirical data would be a plus.


Please send your applications consisting of

- a cover letter,
- curriculum vitae,
- the PhD thesis (preliminary version, if not finished),
- a letter of reference (to be directly sent to us),

to

Prof. Dr. Andr? Schulz
Institut f?r Mathematische Logik und Grundlagenforschung
Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik der Universit?t M?nster
Einsteinstra?e 62
D-48149 M?nster, Germany

It is also possible to apply via email. In this case send your application as
one single pdf-file to andre.schulz[at]uni-muenster.de .

The deadline is September 30, but applications will be considered until the position
is filled.

RWTH Aachen University, Operations Research, www.or.rwth-aachen.de

research associate in
mathematics, computer science, operations research


We invite applications for a position as the scientific and technical team lead in the RWTH Aachen university course timetabling project "carpe diem!". The position as research associate is paid according to German TV-L E13 100%, and should be filled as soon as possible. The project duration is 1.5 years, to be extended by 2.5 more years.

Our team of nine research staff is interested in integer programming, computational optimization, algorithm engineering, scheduling, and graph and network algorithms, both in theory and practical applications thereof. The "carpe diem!" project is a joint effort together with many university members, in collaboration with the TU Berlin, with the aim of providing course timetables which are most beneficial for students and teaching staff. It is a challenging task in many ways.

The successful candidate is responsible for the further development of mathematical optimization models and algorithms, to research in practically relevant directions, such as robust timetabling and mechanism design for gathering teaching preferences. We expect a profound knowledge in mathematical (in paticular discrete and integer) optimization. A talent in producing theoretical results is as desired as a determination to successfully solve real-world optimization problems. The existing software needs to be maintained and extended. Therefore, very good computer skills in general and experience with software development are a must. The post requires strong communication skills, creativity, curiosity, and commitment. There is no teaching obligation. Fluency in the German language is indispensable.

We provide the opportunity to work towards a doctoral degree. It is natural to pick a research topic related to the practical project, but this is not a requirement.


For more information on formal requirements and how to apply please follow the link to the German official opening: http://www.zhv.rwth-aachen.de/mainzhv.php?scriptid=job&param=vorschau&nr=14277&typ=wiss

Application deadline is August 15, 2014.

The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their
motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their
significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to
space constraints must be put into an appendix, to be read by the program
committee members at their discretion.

Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or
to journals is not allowed. PC members are excluded from submitting. As a
novelty for STACS, there will also be a rebuttal period for authors. Authors
will receive the reviews of their submissions (via EasyChair) on Nov 14/15
and have three days (Nov 15 - 17) to submit rebuttals (via EasyChair). These
rebuttals become part of the PC meeting, but entail no specific responses.
