Junior Professorship (W1) in Algorithm Engineering, Jena (Germany)

The Institute of Informatics at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany, announces a new faculty position, open to all qualified applicants: Assistant Professor (W1) for Algorithm Engineering.

The position is supported by the Carl Zeiss Foundation. A successful candidate will become part of the Jena research focus on data-driven algorithmics. Our group has a strong interest in research concerning algorithms for NP-hard problems (particularly, but not exclusively, parameterized algorithmics). Activities in cooperation with the Jena research teams could target applications in such areas as computational biology, computational geometry, algorithmic graph theory, or computational social choice. A successful candidate is expected to take part in university-wide projects as well as to successfully apply for external research funding.

The deadline for submission is January 25, 2009. For more information, see http://theinf1.informatik.uni-jena.de/
