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.
