Postdoctoral Position in Algorithms (Marburg, Germany)

Dear all,

The Algorithms Group at the University of Marburg is seeking a 
postdoctoral researcher in algorithms and data structures, analysis of 
algorithms, or algorithm engineering.
The position is funded by the EPSRC Project /Computing over Compressed 
Graph-Structured Data/ [1].

This position is initially until December 2027 with the likely 
possibility of an extension for 6 months.  Responsibilities include work 
on the project, revolving around space-efficient data structures for graphs.
The application deadline is *16 August 2026*, via [2].

We offer an annual gross salary of at least €61,000 (TV-H E13 100%, 
rises commensurate with experience [3]) and a generous travel budget.
German language are *not* required.  The official job advertisement is 
in German, but English application materials are very welcome.

Documented expertise in one of the following topics is desirable for 
this post:  succinct data structures, data compression, information 
theory, analysis of algorithms, graph theory, discrete optimization, 
data structure lower bounds, approximation algorithms, beyond-worst-case 
analysis, algorithm engineering.
Strong candidates with the willingness to pivot into these areas are 
encouraged to apply.

For informal inquiries, please feel free to contact me at Sebastian Wild

Marburg is a charming town with a vibrant medieval center and a young,
