The Max Planck Institute for Informatics is seeking applicants from all areas of algorithms and complexity, as well as related fields such as algorithm engineering, high-performance computing, theory of computation, and quantum computing. Researchers from various nationalities work in the Algorithms and Complexity Department, where English is the working language. This department is part of the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, located on the campus of Saarland University in Saarbruecken, Germany.
The institute maintains close collaborations with algorithms and complexity researchers from other institutes on the campus, including the Department of Computer Science, the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems. The group enjoys high international visibility and its members collaborate with multiple leading research institutions in Europe and the U.S. Generous travel support is available to all group members. Postdoctoral researchers have the freedom to choose their research topics and collaborators. Group leaders are expected to independently build and lead research groups with both internal and external funding. Initial contracts are for two years for postdoctoral researchers and up to five years for group leaders, with possibilities for extensions, promotions, and, in exceptional cases, permanent employment. The starting dates for these positions are flexible.
The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the employment of individuals with disabilities and explicitly welcomes such applicants. Additionally, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the percentage of women in areas where they are underrepresented and strongly encourages female candidates to apply.
Applications should be submitted through the web form available at https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/d1/offers/postdoc by uploading a single PDF file containing:
- a curriculum vitae,
- a complete list of publications, and
- a research plan (1 page suffices).
Applicants should also provide the names and email addresses of three references who may be contacted to submit a letter of recommendation by 31 December 2024.
The submission server is currently online, and applications are reviewed as they are received.
