The Graduate School of Computational Engineering (CE) and the Department
of Mathematics at the Technische Universit?t Darmstadt
are inviting applications for a

Junior Professorship (W1) for Optimization (Tenure-Track)

in the Department of Mathematics.

The research field of the candidates should complement the topics
represented in the research group optimization. Candidates should have
expertise in at least one of the following areas:

- Optimization with PDEs
- Discrete-continuous optimal control
- Discrete and combinatorial optimization

The ability for collaboration within the optimization group, to
contribute to interdisciplinary research projects and to cooperate with
other fields of science within the Graduate School of Computational
Engineering is required.

The Graduate School CE has been recognized as a center for top-level
research and scientific excellence by the highly competitive "Excellence
Initiative" of the German Federal and State Governments in 2007 and
2012. Within the framework of the Graduate School the TU Darmstadt
intends to further strengthen its expertise in the field of
Computational Engineering and in the area of optimization in particular.
The Graduate School is embedded into an excellent environment at TU
Darmstadt consisting of the Computational Engineering Research Center, a
variety of Research and Research Training Groups, Collaborative Research
Centers and existing BSc/MSc study programs in Computational Engineering.

The candidates will have excellent opportunities for interaction within
this stimulating, interdisciplinary environment and are expected to
develop a high quality research program. The Graduate School will
support the activities by PhD scholarships related to each position in
order to establish a Junior Research Group.

Applicants should hold an excellent PhD or equivalent qualifications in
the above or a related area. The prerequisites according to ?64 HHG
(Hessisches Hochschulgesetz) apply. The doctorate and the experience as
post-doctoral researcher should not have exceeded a total of 6 years.
Besides scientific qualification, didactic skills are essential.
Successful candidates are expected to teach classes primarily in German
for all mathematical degrees and at a later stage also for engineering
and science students.

The position has a tenure-track option. It is initially assigned for
three years at W1-level. Given a positive evaluation at the end of the
initial period, the appointment can be extended by three more years.
After a successful tenure evaluation the position is converted to a
permanent W2-position.

The Technische Universit?t Darmstadt intends to increase the number of
female faculty members and encourages female candidates to apply. In
case of equal qualifications applicants with a degree of disability of
at least 50 or equal will be given preference.

Qualified applicants should submit a letter of application, a curriculum
vitae, research records and teaching records in electronic form to
bewerbung@mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de quoting the reference number in the
subject.

Code. No. 481

Application deadline: January 31, 2015

AIMS:

AlCoB aims at promoting and displaying excellent research using string and
graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization to deal with problems in
biological sequence analysis, genome rearrangement, evolutionary trees, and
structure prediction.

The conference will address several of the current challenges in
computational biology by investigating algorithms aimed at: 1) assembling
sequence reads into a complete genome, 2) identifying gene structures in the
genome, 3) recognizing regulatory motifs, 4) aligning nucleotides and
comparing genomes, 5) reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and 6)
inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species.

Particular focus will be put on methodology and significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career.

VENUE:

AlCoB 2015 will take place in Mexico City, the oldest capital city in the
Americas and the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world. The venue will
be the main campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

SCOPE:

Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not
limited to:

Exact sequence analysis
Approximate sequence analysis
Pairwise sequence alignment
Multiple sequence alignment
Sequence assembly
Genome rearrangement
Regulatory motif finding
Phylogeny reconstruction
Phylogeny comparison
Structure prediction
Compressive genomics
Proteomics: molecular pathways, interaction networks ...
Transcriptomics: splicing variants, isoform inference and quantification,
differential analysis ?
Next-generation sequencing: population genomics, metagenomics,
metatranscriptomics ...
