The NETWORKS project is a collaboration of world-leading researchers from four institutions in The Netherlands: TU Eindhoven (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxx8oosZf9Q&feature=youtu.be), University of Amsterdam (https://youtu.be/KIZMIdZ0ljo), Leiden University (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gDfOvufoQQ) and the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCfI7_rLeho). Research in NETWORKS focuses on stochastics and algorithmics for network problems. NETWORKS offers a highly stimulating research environment and an extensive training program for PhD students.

Recently NETWORKS was awarded a COFUND grant the Marie SkΕ‚odowska-Curie Actions, funded by the European Commission. The grant allows NETWORKS to expand its activities by opening positions for an additional 14 PhD students. A In this call we are looking for 9 PhD students on various topics.
