Highlighted Positions

The group of Sebastian Brandt is looking for PhD applicants and Postdocs interested in working in the theory of distributed and parallel algorithms. Possible topics include distributed complexity theory, algorithms for symmetry-breaking and other fundamental graph problems, distributed lower bounds, the role of randomness in distributed computing, and many others.

The group of Cas Cremers is looking for Postdocs with research interests in applied cryptography, provable security, automated analysis, formal methods, or protocol design. Our group works in the intersection between provable security and formal methods for automated security analysis.

The group of Dániel Marx is looking for Postdoc researchers interested in working on the theoretical aspects of algorithms and computational complexity. Our research has a strong focus on graph algorithms, combinatorial optimization, and parameterized algorithms and complexity.

The group of Krikamol Munadet has an opening for postdoctoral researchers with a strong interest in the broad areas of machine learning (ML). The group's research aims at understanding the principles that enable autonomous agents to learn from past experience and interact successfully with complex environments.

Successful candidates are expected to have a strong theoretical background, with experience and a keen interest in formal methods such as model checking, formal synthesis, or related topics.
