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++).
