[DMANET] PhD student position at UMIT (Austria)

We are seeking for a highly motivated PhD student for a project funded by
the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF). This position is available for the
duration of 3 years.

Essential skills:
The desired candidate should have profound knowledge in applied
mathematics (preferably graph theory and information theory) and computer
science (algorithms).
But applicants graduated in chemistry, chemoinformatics, and computational
biology with a strong interest in mathematical chemistry and multivariate
data analysis should also apply.

Strong programming skills in R/python/Java/C and database knowledge
preferably in a Linux environment are essential.
Proficiency in statistics and data analysis. Moreover, good communication
skills are necessary. The ideal candidate would enjoy working in a
multidisciplinary environment.
Background of chemometrics, chemoinformatics, and mathematical chemistry
is a plus.

Interested applicants should e-mail a full curriculum vitae, a cover
letter expressing research interests, and the contact information of two
references to Matthias Dehmer (matthias.dehmer@umit.at).

The project will take place at University for Health Sciences, Medical
Informatics and Technology (UMIT).
Generally, in 2001 the University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics
and Technology (UMIT) was founded in Tyrol/Austria to provide IT solutions
for the health care and life sciences. Today, academic research and
teaching focus is in biomedical informatics, health sciences and nursing
science.
