PhD or Postdoc Position: Discrete Optimization for Machine Learning and 
Image Analysis

Salary level: TV-L E13, 100%

Tasks:
- Curiosity-driven basic research of fundamental mathematical 
optimization problems in the fields of machine learning and image analysis
- Design and analysis of algorithms for solving these problems, exactly 
or approximatively
- Implementation, empirical analysis and comparison of these algorithms 
with respect to real data
- Publication of findings and insights in internationally leading 
conferences and journals
- Strong contributions to teaching in English in the Masters' Program 
Computational Modeling and Simulation, esp. by the design and 
co-supervision of exercise groups and tutorials and, for postdocs with 
sufficient teaching experience, by own lectures

Requirements:
- A very good university degree in mathematics or computer science or a 
related discipline
- Comprehensive education in mathematics, especially in discrete 
mathematics and one area of mathematical optimization (e.g. Mathematical 
Programming, Convex Optimization)
- Curiosity and strong interest in rigorous mathematical methods
- Very good programming skills in C++
- Very good scientific writing skills in English. (Knowledge of German 
is not required for this position).
