We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented

PhD student

to join the Robotics and Embedded Systems group in the Department of Informatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The successful candidate is supposed to extract the adjacency matrix describing the functional connectivity of the spinal cord circuitry. While our general project is based on electrophysiological patch clamp measurements, the candidate will focus on graph theoretical analysis. The results are expected to be integrated into the Human Brain Project, a €1bn flagship project of the European Commission, as an interface that connects brain simulations with robotic platforms.

The student will work in an enriching, interdisciplinary, and international collaborative framework at the leading department of informatics in Germany (cf. the Shanghai and the QS ranking). Partners of our project include the chair of Sensor Based Robotic Systems and Intelligent Assistance Systems at TUM, members of The Human Brain Project, and the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The student is furthermore expected to complete some of his work in the Department of Experimental Medical Science at Lund University.

Requirements:

- master's degree in mathematics, computer science, physics, or similar
- knowledge in graph theory / discrete mathematics and its application to measured data
- very good programming skills
- fluent in written and spoken English
- ability to work independently as well as in international teams

Helpful skills:

- knowledge in (computational) neuroscience and neural networks
- Matlab and Python skills

We offer a competitive funding at 100% on the German employee scale TV-L 13. Interested applicants should provide florian.roehrbein@in.tum.de<mailto:florian.roehrbein@in.tum.de> with a cover letter, a CV and the contact information of reference letter writers. Please don't hesitate to contact us in case of questions.

Start date: about 2 months after acceptance
Application Deadline: until position is filled

CIAC 2017 - CALL FOR PAPERS

10th International Conference on Algorithms and Complexity
May 24-26, 2017, Athens, Greece
http://www.corelab.ntua.gr/ciac2017/

**Submission deadline has been extended to November 11, 2016**

----------------------------------------------
AIM AND SCOPE
----------------------------------------------

The 10th International Conference on Algorithms and Complexity is intended
to provide a forum for researchers working in all aspects of computational
complexity and the use, design, analysis and experimentation of efficient
algorithms and data structures.

Papers presenting original research in the areas of algorithms and
complexity are sought, including (but not limited to):

- sequential, parallel and distributed algorithms and data structures;
- approximation and randomized algorithms;
- graph algorithms and graph drawing;
- on-line and streaming algorithms;
- analysis of algorithms and computational complexity;
- algorithm engineering;
- web algorithms;
- exact and parameterized computation;
- algorithmic game theory;
- computational biology;
- foundations of communication networks;
- computational geometry;
- discrete optimization.

This year there will be a CIAC 2017 Best Paper Award, accompanied by a prize
of EUR 1,000 offered by Springer. Submissions co-authored by a member of the
"Best Paper Award Committee" are not eligible for the award.

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in its
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Simultaneous submission to
another conference with published proceedings or journal is not allowed.
Results previously published in another conference proceedings or journal
(or scheduled for publication prior to CIAC) will not be considered.

----------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
----------------------------------------------
Deadline for submission: November 11, 2016 (extended).
Notification of acceptance: December 20, 2016.
Final manuscript, camera ready: January 31, 2017.
