University of Pisa (Italy): 12-months research position
********************************************************************

The department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa has opened a call for a postdoctoral position on "Combinatorial algorithms for the analysis and compression of large biological data collections".
 

The research group of algorithms applied to bioinformatics at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa invites expressions of interest for a post doc position (SSD INF/01) with a duration of 12 months (call by 2023).


Admission requirement:Candidates must have the PhD title (to be obtained by the interview’s date).


 
Scientific Topics:
