PhD Scholarships, Efficient Methods of Exact Solutions of Complex Problems in Molecular Biology, the University of Luebeck, Germany

The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Efficient Methods of Exact Solutions of Complex Problems in Molecular Biology“ in the research field of Computing in Structural and Cell Biology.

The Project:
Finding an optimal alignment is a very difficult and time consuming task due to the inherent algorithmic complexity. Therefore, most software systems provide only approximate solutions. We have developed new exact sequential algorithms that give better performance. A current PhD project tries to parallelise our new methods in a suitable way such that further significant speedups by parallel processing can be achieved. The algorithms are tested on our high performance shared-memory parallel machine SunFire 15K. An important innovation for our solution is the reduction of the tasks to specific graph theoretical problems that can be solved efficiently also in parallel, for example to distance problems in specific regular graphs.?

PhD scholarship amounts to 1250 € per month. Students with a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering are invited to apply for admission. The application deadline is January 15, 2009. In certain cases, students must submit, as part of their application, the results of one of the acknowledged language tests to prove their English proficiency.
