                 Max Planck Scholarship
        for Excellent Women in Computer Science

         Max Planck Institute for Informatics
                 Saarbrücken, Germany

       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
Nüsslein-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 Saarbrücken, 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.******************
