Parallel and dynamic graph algorithms

Positions: PhD Candidate Intern

Created: 2023-10-19 Deadline: 2024-03-31

Location: Poland

The team research so far has concentrated mainly on classical graph processing problems such as reachability and shortest paths computation, especially in dynamic, fault-tolerant, and parallel settings that address some of the most significant challenges of today’s large networks. Lately, we have also been exploring connections between classical algorithm design and machine learning.

PhD Candidate

You will cooperate with scientists carrying out research and development work related to issues such as: planning and theoretical analysis of graph algorithms – in particular within the upcoming project NCN (summary) implementation and experimental evaluation of graph algorithms on the modern parallel machines, other related scientific issues. Your work will be research-focused with minimal teaching responsibilities: teaching a minimum of 60 hours per year.

Must-have requiremets

  • a degree (Master’s or equivalent) in computer science, information technology or a related discipline from a leading university
  • solid understanding of the mathematics and IT basics in terms of: algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, discrete mathematics, probability theory and linear algebra,
  • programming skills
  • fluency in English

Nice-to-have requiremets

  • experience in science work or programming contests in regard to algorithms would be nice to have.
