PhD position in algorithms at SDU Odense

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA) at the
University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Odense, invites applications for a
PhD position in algorithms. The deadline is January 25th, 2026.

The position has a duration of 3 years. The proposed starting time is
spring 2026, with some room for flexibility. The appointment will be made
at a competitive salary and will follow the PhD study program at the
Faculty of Science.

This position is embedded in the project "PARAMLP: Parameterized Algorithms
and Polyhedra" funded by the ERC. The ERC is the premier European funding
organization dedicated to frontier research of the highest quality. The aim
of the project is to make significant advances in the theory of algorithms,
specifically on parameterized algorithms and approximation algorithms,
using linear programming methods. Over the next years, the project will
grow to a collaborative team of 4-5 PhD students and Postdocs.

A strong proficiency in mathematical formalism, demonstrated for example in
a theoretical thesis, and interest in the topics of the project is
required. Prior experience on the specific topics is not required, but a
plus. Fluency in English is required, whereas knowledge of Danish is not.

The successful candidate will work directly with the project's principal
investigator, Associate Professor Lars Rohwedder, see
https://larsrohwedder.com/ for more information. The team is part of a
larger algorithms section at IMADA, see also algorithms.sdu.dk.

For further information and questions on the positions, please contact Lars
Rohwedder ([email protected]).
