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:
It is nowadays increasingly important to handle large amount of data, and the need of efficient methods for analysing, compressing and indexing texts or graphs keeps on growing.
The research is within algorithmic on strings and graphs applied to bioinformatics. The general goal is to analyse collections of texts, sequences and graphs through adaptive indices and new similarity measures, using combinatorial concepts, such that the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, k-mers, and so on.

Profiles:
The ideal candidate should be familiar with at least one of the following topics: Algorithms, Data Structures, Programming, Data Compression, Bioinformatics.

Location:
The research will take place at the Department of Computer Science of University of Pisa, Italy

Venue:
The University of Pisa has a scientific history going back to the 12th century. Leonardo Fibonacci and Galileo Galilei are among the prominent scientists who were born in Pisa. Known across the world for its leaning tower, Pisa is a small town in Tuscany, where you can enjoy life while doing research in a stimulating environment. It is one of the most important airports in the center of Italy, and so is well connected to many cities of the world. It is near the sea, and Florence, Milan, Rome and Venice are easily reachable by train.
