MADALGO PhD student and Post Doc Positions, Aarhus University, Denmark

Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO), is a basic research center
funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is located in
the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University, Denmark, but also
includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, at the
Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at Frankfurt University. The center
covers all areas of the design, analysis and implementation of algorithms
and data structures for processing massive data (interpreted broadly to
cover computations where data is large compared to the computational
resources), with focus on I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and streaming
algorithms. The center also emphasizes work on the boundary between the
algorithms and database areas, in particular work in relation to efficient
indexing and query and update processing. See www.madalgo.au.dk for more
information.

Starting February 1 or later, several positions are available at MADALGO
under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge (www.madalgo.au.dk/~large),
Professor Christian S. Jensen (www.cs.au.dk/~csj) and Associate Professor
Gerth S. Brodal (www.madalgo.au.dk/~gerth):

Several PhD student positions are available. The positions are administered
through the Aarhus Graduate School of Science and Technology
(http://phd.au.dk/graduate-schools/scienceandtechnology/) and include full
tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are welcomed
from students with at least three years of full-time study by February 2013.
Students with a strong background in the design and analysis of algorithms
will be preferred. Students with background in databases and Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) are also very welcome to apply.

One or more MADALGO postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science may be available. Postdoc positions are
initially for one year, but can be extended with an additional year by
mutual consent. MADALGO welcomes postdoctoral researchers with clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in the design and analysis of algorithms
and data structures. Researchers with experience with I/O-efficient,
cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with implementation of
such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience), or with experience in
design and implementation of database indexing structures, are preferred.
The responsibilities of MADALGO postdocs include work on algorithms for
massive dataset problems in collaboration with center researchers, along
with modest teaching responsibilities.

The application deadline for both PhD student and postdoc positions is
November 1, 2012.
Applicants for PhD student positions should apply using the Aarhus Graduate
School of Science and Technology application system also accessible from
www.madalgo.au.dk.
Applicants for postdoc positions should apply by uploading a letter of
interest and a CV, as well as indicate at least two names of references for
recommendations, using the application form available at www.madalgo.au.dk.
