Since 1982, when it was established, our PhD in Computer Science aims to train researchers and innovators in Information Science and Technology, so our PhD students are involved since the beginning in the research activities, they are invited to attend monographic courses and international PhD schools, as well as to spend study and research periods in academic and industrial research centers in Italy and abroad. Our PhD offers strong relationships for research projects, internships and job placements with prestigious ICT companies worldwide in the area of Big Data and Web, Smart Communities and Social Networks, FinTech and Industry 4.0, BioInformatics and Smart Health, etc. Special attention will be devoted to internships in startups with an international visibility and, additionally, students will have the opportunity to attend the course “PhD+ : Research Valorization, Innovation and Entrepreneurial mindset”, launched by UniPI since 2011, in which young researchers are thought and trained on those soft skills with seminars on business modeling and planning, IP protection and valorization, communication tools and techniques, fund raising from public and private bodies, start-up creation, and so on.

At the end of the PhD, our students will be able to contribute to the definition of new models and theories for computation and information processing; foundations, algorithms and SW/HW platforms for the organization, storage and analysis of (Big) data; new languages and tools to support emerging programming paradigms, such as the ones required or designed in the area of Artificial Intelligence, Cloud and Fog computing, Internet of Things, Cyber Security, Networking, Programming paradigms and methodologies, etc..

We have a single immediate opening for our year long training program. This is a great opportunity for for a CSUCI student. This is the same program I’ve mentioned in the past. The person we hire gets 6 months hands on training in RnD here in Summerland. Them we fly them out to the east coast for 3 months of hands on training within out Support organization, and they finish the program with 3 more months working at customers sites at any number of random global customer sites. During the 12 month program, they are paid full salaries and get 6 months housing with with RnD or on the east coast. This position will have the option to relocate to Michigan at the conclusion of the program.

A position for a master thesis (4-6 months) and a PhD grant (36
months) are available in the Bonsai group from University of Lille and
Inria (France), starting January 2017 or later.

The Bonsai research group focuses on efficient algorithms and data
structures for high-throughput sequencing data.  This position is
funded by a national collaborative project on Nanopore sequencing,
that gathers groups in computational biology and wet labs (ANR ASTER).
The main objective is to define a general purpose local alignment
algorithm that is able to handle long error-prone reads, using
advanced techniques such as dimensionality reduction, seed-and-extend
methods, alignment-free methods. The post requires a high level
of expertise in discrete algorithms and good programming skills (C++).
