[DMANET] PhD Position in Algorithmic Cheminformatics

A PhD position starting October 1, 2020, or as soon as possible
thereafter, is available at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU)
for research on an exciting project in algorithmic cheminformatics
supported by the Danish Research Council. Application deadline:
September 4, 2020.

The goal of the PhD project will be to combine state-of-the art
approaches from graph transformation methodology (at SDU) and from
concurrency theory (at the co-host Harvard Medical School) in order to
develop ground-breaking computational methods applicable to the
analysis of large networks of chemical reactions.

We are seeking an excellent and highly motivated individual with
either a completed MSc degree in Computer Science (for entering a
three year PhD programme) or entering their final year of a MSc degree
in Computer Science (for entering a four year PhD programme). The
ideal candidate has familiarity with one or more of the following
areas: concurrency theory, graph transformation, algorithmics,
algorithm engineering, systems chemistry, or systems biology. Proven
competences in programming and ease with formal thinking are a
necessity.

The Algorithmic Cheminformatics group at the Department of Mathematics
and Computer Science at SDU offers a dynamic research environment,
comprising two full professors, an assistant professor, three
postdocs, and several students. The project includes partnerships with
Harvard Medical School (Department of Systems Biology), who will host
the PhD student for extended visits.

The research group is located at the main campus of SDU, which is
located in Odense, the third largest town in Denmark, 1:20 hours by
train west of Copenhagen. Denmark is known for its high standards of
living, free health care, and competitive salaries. The salary before
tax on a three-year PhD programme is around DKK 27600 (EUR 3700) per
month (plus 17% extra in pension). Detailed information on salaries,
taxation, and entering and working in Denmark can be found at the
application web page at
