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

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: https://study.uq.edu.au/study-options/phd-mphil-professional-doctorate/projects/compressed-indexes-scalable-genomic-pattern-matching-and-retrieval 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!
