Job description

We are seeking candidates for a Ph.D. position within the Algorithms group with a special focus on randomized algorithms and the use of probabilistic methods in Computer Science.

Candidates must therefore have a strong background in discrete probability and algorithm design and analysis techniques.

As a Ph.D. student you are employed by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements. A maximum of 20% of your time will be devoted to other duties at the department, mainly teaching. The remaining time will be devoted to your own courses and research within the project and you are expected to obtain a Ph.D. within a maximum of 5 years.

Required qualifications

A suitable background for the applicant is a strong undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics or related fields. Candidates must have a strong background in discrete probability and algorithm design and analysis techniques. The start of this position is planned for August 1 2010.
