This program is aimed at highly motivated students who want to work in the field of Logical Methods in Computer Science.
TU Wien, TU Graz, and JKU Linz are seeking exceptionally talented and motivated students for their joint doctoral program LogiCS to work in the following fundamental fields of computer science:
- Computational Logic
proof theory, computational complexity and automated deduction - Databases / Artificial Intelligence
applications of logic to databases and articial intelligence - Verification
computer-aided verification, in particular model checking - Application domains such as security & privacy, cyber-physical systems, and distributed systems
Applicants may state their preference for an advisor or research field in the admission form. Assignment to the PhD advisor and one or more co-advisors should be decided at the point of admission to the program.
