                   Max Planck Scholarship
          for Excellent Women in Computer Science

           Max Planck Institute for Informatics

         Application deadline:  October 31st 2009
*****************************************************************

The Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF) is inviting applications
from female postgraduate computer scientists for a two-year research
scholarship of up to 72,000 Euro. The MPI-INF encourages women to excel in
computer science and become active role models and leaders in the field.

The Max Planck Society (MPG) is Germany's largest society for fundamental
 
research with more than 30 Nobel Prize winners, including Prof. Christiane
 
Nsslein-Volhard - one of the few female Nobel Laureates. The research 
institutes of the Max Planck Society have a national and international 
reputation as Centers of Excellence for foundational research. The Max 
Planck Institute for Informatics is devoted to cutting-edge research in 
computer science and technology with a focus on algorithms and their 
applications in a broad sense. The research ranges from foundations 
(algorithms and complexity, automation of logic) to a variety of 
application domains (computer graphics and vision, geometric computation,
 
program verification, database systems and internet search, and 
computational biology). The group of algorithms and complexity is looking
 
for applicants from all areas of algorithmics, including related areas 
like computer algebra, complexity theory and discrete mathematics. We are
 
also explicitly looking for people interested in algorithm engineering and
 
the design and implementation of algorithm libraries.

The MPI for Informatics is located on the campus of the Saarland 
University in Saarbrcken, Germany. The institute collaborates with 
several of the major research institutions in Europe and the U.S. and has
 
high international visibility. There is generous travel support available
 
for all members.

Scholars will be chosen based on the strength of their academic background
 
and research credentials. Applications should include a resume, cover 
letter, publication list, short research plan (one page is enough), and 
two references. Please refer to MPI-INF Scholarship in your application. 
The MPI for Informatics strives to provide a family-friendly work 
environment with ptions for day care of smaller children and other means 
of support for working mothers.
