[CPM-SPIRE-L] Funded PhD Position Available: Practical Data Structures and Algorithms for Large-Scale Genomic and Text Representations

[Joel Mackenzie]

Dear all,

I have a funded PhD position available at the University of Queensland 
in Brisbane, Australia. The project will investigate compressed data 
structures and algorithms for solving both textual and bioinformatics 
problems, working at the intersection of the fields of algorithms, 
information retrieval, and bioinformatics.

A working knowledge of common data structures, algorithms, data 
compression techniques, and/or efficient systems programming  would be 
of benefit to someone working on this project. If you enjoy thinking 
about and working on elegant data structures and algorithms, or if you 
like making systems go really fast, you would likely make a strong 
candidate. PhD positions in Australia are typically between 3-4 years.

Please see the official ad for more details on entry requirements and 
how to apply:

Note that the ad will close in about two weeks; you may also email me if 
you have any questions. Please feel free to pass this message on to any 
interested colleagues or students you might know.

Thank you!
