Job description
We are seeking candidates for a Ph.D. position within the Algorithms group with a special focus on randomized algorithms and the use of probabilistic methods in Computer Science. In particular, the project is concerned with using tools such as high probability results to design and analyse algorithms for stochastic optimization, or statistical analysis of large data sets. Candidates must therefore have a strong background in discrete probability and algorithm design and analysis techniques.
As a Ph.D. student you are employed by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements. A maximum of 20% of your time will be devoted to other duties at the department, mainly teaching. The remaining time will be devoted to your own courses and research within the project and you are expected to obtain a Ph.D. within a maximum of 5 years.
Required qualifications
A suitable background for the applicant is a strong undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics or related fields. Candidates must have a strong background in discrete probability and algorithm design and analysis techniques. The start of this position is planned for August 1 2010.
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
- An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
- Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
- Curriculum Vitae
- Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2010/37) must be written on the first page of the application.

As I see you are dealing with statistical research: I have put one of the most comprehensive link lists for hundreds of thousands of statistical sources and indicators on my blog: Statistics Reference List. And what I find most fascinating is how data can be visualised nowadays with the graphical computing power of modern PCs, as in many of the dozens of examples in these Data Visualisation References. If you miss anything that I might be able to find for you or if you yourself want to share a resource, please leave a comment.
