PhD position in Algorithms

Job description

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA) at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, invites applications for a PhD position in algorithms. The position has a duration of 3 years (5+3 program) or 4 years (4+4 program). The proposed starting time is Fall 2026, with some room for flexibility. The appointment will be made at a competitive salary and will follow the PhD study program at the Faculty of Science . This position is embedded in the project “PARAMLP: Parameterized Algorithms and Polyhedra” funded by the ERC . The ERC is the premier European funding organization dedicated to frontier research of the highest quality. The aim of the project is to make significant advances in the theory of algorithms, specifically on parameterized algorithms and approximation algorithm, using linear programming methods. Over the next years, the project will grow to a collaborate team of 4-5 PhD students and Postdocs. The successful candidate will work directly with the project's principal investigator, Associate Professor Lars Rohwedder, an internationally recognized expert in the areas of approximation algorithms and parameterized algorithms, see www.larsrohwedder.com for m...
