Two PhD Positions in Computational Topology and Geometry at TU Graz

Graz University of Technology offers two PhD positions in the Institute 
of Geometry. The research area is computational geometry and topology. 
Possible topics include topological data analysis, connections of 
discrete geometry and topology, design and analysis of algorithms in 
computational topology.

We offer a 4-year university assistant position (30 h/week) with a net 
salary of approximately 29,000 EUR per year. The earliest starting date 
for both positions is Feb 1 2026.

We are looking for outstanding students with a master's degree in 
Mathematics/Computer Science or a closely related field. Knowledge in at 
least one of the fields computational geometry or computational topology 
is a plus. Basic knowledge in algebraic topology, theoretical computer 
science, and programming skills, in particular in C++ or python, are 
also desirable.

The position includes teaching duties as teaching assistant, both for 
students of mathematics and others. The ability to teach in English is 
required. Being able to teach in German is an advantage.

The application deadline is Dec 4 2025. Applications must be send via 
the online system. The link below contains more information on the 
position and a link to the application form.
