A postdoc position is available at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Helsinki for a negotiable period between summer 2016 and end of 2017.
The position is within the Genome-scale algorithmics research group that develops algorithms and data structures for the analysis of genome-scale data. Such data is abundant due to modern molecular biology measurement techniques like high-throughput sequencing. We are especially interested in applications of compressed data structures. We are looking for a postdoc to bring new expertise in our current research areas such as pan-genome indexing, time- and space-optimal sequence analysis, and genome and transcript assembly.
The application procedure (with deadline April 1st 2016 at 2pm Finnish time) is described at
