<br>
Context. <br>
The RWTH Aachen University is looking for enthusiastic and highly <br>
qualified doctoral researchers. Various positions are available
within <br>
the interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) UnRAVeL founded
by <br>
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The key emphasis of an RTG is
on <br>
the qualification of doctoral researchers with a focused research <br>
program and a structured training strategy. The RTG UnRAVeL aims to
<br>
significantly advance probabilistic modelling and analysis for <br>
uncertainty by developing new theories, algorithms, and
tool-supported <br>
verification techniques, and to apply them to core problems from
application <br>
areas such as: applied machine learning (in control theory as well
as network and data science), <br>
planning in AI (e.g., robotics), as well as safety and performance
analysis (railway systems). <br>
Doctoral Positions at RWTH Aachen University<br>
Within UnRAVeL, theoretical computer scientists from computer-aided
verification, <br>
automata and logic, algorithms and complexity, together with experts
from management <br>
science (robust optimization), applied computer science (network and
data science), <br>
mechanical and railway engineering intensively cooperate. <br>
<br>
Required profile. <br>
Candidates must have (or soon obtain) a master degree in Computer <br>
Science, Mathematics or related area and have completed their
studies <br>
with excellent grades. You should have interest in performing
original, <br>
highly competitive scientific research, publishing your results in
top <br>
conferences and scientific journals. Self-motivation and the ability
to <br>
work both independently and as a team player in local and
international <br>
research groups are expected. Fluency in English is required; <br>
proficiency in German is helpful but not compulsory. <br>
<br>
How to apply? <br>
Your written application should contain: <br>
<br>
- a curriculum vitae <br>
- a transcript of records (list of courses and grades) <br>
- a cover letter including a statement of interest in (some of) the
<br>
RTG topics, and <br>
- a recommendation letter e.g., by your master thesis supervisor(s)
<br>
<br>
All documents should be formatted as a single pdf-file. The
recommendation <br>
letter can provided separately, if needed. You should send your
application <br>
ultimately by ** December 20, 2021 (AoE) ** to the <br>
e-mail address: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated

We check applications <br>
once they are received, and will conduct interviews until our
vacancies <br>
are filled. <br>
<br>
What do we offer? <br>
We offer a stimulating international research environment, the <br>
possibility to participate in highly competitive and
interdisciplinary <br>
research and the opportunity to involve students in your research <br>
through project work. Doctoral researchers have a status as
employee <br>
with a salary according to the German federal employee scale TV-L
E13; <br>
the exact salary is subject to your family situation. The duration
of <br>
the positions is three years with a possible extension to four
