Dear colleagues,

I am looking for a PhD student and a Postdoc in Algorithmic 
Bioinformatics, to join my team at the University of Helsinki. I am 
leading the Graph Algorithms team 
<https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/algorithmic-bioinformatics/teams/graph-algorithms>, 
of the wider Algorithmic Bioinformatics research group 
<https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/algorithmic-bioinformatics>. 
These positions are partially funded by an ERC Starting Grant on Safe 
and Complete Algorithms for Bioinformatics 
<https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/algorithmic-bioinformatics/teams/graph-algorithms/safebio-erc-starting-grant>.

Current research topics include: Graph algorithms for genome, RNA and 
viral assembly from genomic sequencing data.
String algorithms for pangenome graphs.
Safe string alignment solutions (i.e. base pairs appearing in all 
optimal and suboptimal alignments) and their correlation with protein 
function over the tree of life.
University of Helsinki hosts an active and wonderful Algorithmic 
Bioinformatics community, with interests ranging from theoretical 
computer science, to algorithm engineering and practical bioinformatics 
methods, and from graph algorithms to string algorithms.

Application deadline December 7, 2020.
Interested persons are welcome to ask for more information via e-mail to 
alexandru.tomescu at helsinki.fi <mailto:alexandru.tomescu at helsinki.fi>.
