Postdoc in Algorithmic Phylogenetics at the University of Auckland

A postdoctoral position is available to work on a project related to 
algorithmic foundations of phylogenetic networks. These networks are 
used to represent and analyse evolutionary relationships between 
entities such as species, viruses, and cancer cells. A particular focus 
of the project is the development of new parameterized algorithms and 
other algorithms with performance guarantee to reconstruct phylogenetic 
networks from biological data. The position is for 18 months, to 
commence in early 2023, and fully-funded by a Marsden Fund Grant from 
the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Apārangi. The successful candidate 
will be based in the School of Computer Science at the University of 
Auckland.

Requirements.
The successful applicant has a PhD degree in computer science or 
mathematics, and a strong background in theoretical computer science or 
discrete mathematics. An interest in biological questions is desirable, 
but not a strict requirement.

Application.
To apply, please email your CV, a cover letter including your motivation 
to apply for this position, a research statement (2 pages maximum), and 
names and contact details of two referees to Dr Simone Linz 
(s.linz at auckland.ac.nz). Informal inquiries can be directed to the same 
address. Applications will be reviewed starting 15 April 2022 and 
continue until the position is filled.
