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
