[CPM-SPIRE-L] Post-doc position in Pangenomics

[Paola Bonizzoni]

At the University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy, we offer a postdoctoral position within the PRIN project "PINC: Pangenome Informatics: from Theory to Applications" under the supervision of  Paola Bonizzoni.

A PhD is required, possibly in Computer Science or Mathematics.

The gross salary is 40k€ per year. According to Italian Law, that amount is not subject to income tax, but only to retirement funds.

The duration of contract is 12 months, tentatively starting in January 2023. The research fits the broad area of combinatorial algorithms and mainly involves graph algorithms and combinatorial pattern matching. The project is focused on the foundations of graph pangenomics and aims to solve efficiently some computational problems related to sequence-to-graph alignment, graph comparison, and efficient data structures for indexing graphs and collection of sequences based on formal language properties. The candidate will join a network of international collaborations on graph pangenomics  (see https://www.pangenome.eu/) and will interact with researchers actively working in pangenomics.  On top of the salary the researcher may receive additional salary for research periods abroad. The project includes funding for attending conferences. Anyone interested in the broad topics of graph algorithms and combinatorial algorithms is welcome to apply.  The postdoc will supervise PhD students and work in collaboration with them. Currently the algorithmic and bioinformatics group has 4 PhD students and 2 post doctoral researchers (https://www.algolab.eu).

 

The ideal candidate should have an established research record in at least one of the following topics: algorithms, data structures, formal languages, bioinformatics.

 

Location: the research will take place at the Department of  Informatics, Systems and Communications, University of Milano-Bicocca.
