[DMANET] Maths/algorithmics for biology postdoc positions at INRIA, Lyon, France

MATHS/ALGORITHMICS for BIOLOGY POSTDOC POSITIONS

INRIA at University of Lyon 1, France

Two postdoctoral positions of 1 year each with possible
extension to a second year are available in the INRIA
BAMBOO Team led by Marie-France Sagot in the framework
of an ERC project, SISYPHE, on the mathematical and
algorithmic exploration of symbiosis in biology
(http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/members/sagot/htdocs/team/projects/sisyphe/sisyphe.html)

We are seeking highly qualified and motivated applicants
in mathematics (combinatorics, graph theory, optimisation,
probability) and/or algorithmics, with a strong interest
for biological problems (modelling, problem solving,
data analysis).

Alternatively, candidates with a background in theoretical
biology (genetics, evolution, metabolism) and an
extensive training in mathematics and/or algorithmics
(co-phylogeny, rearrangements, networks, ...) are also
welcome.

The applicants should have an open mind, enjoy working
in close interaction with a team (the group and its
various long-term international collaborators) and daily
interacting with students and researchers from different
disciplines.

We are interested in a range of topics related to the
symbiotic relationship, and the evolutionary and
functional implications of this relationship. The
postdoctoral fellows will elaborate mathematical models
and algorithms to analyse both publicly available and
newly produced data. The specific project will be
established together with the candidate.

The group is international with english as a common
language. It is located in Lyon, a beautiful and lively
city located at the kissing point of the Rhône and Saône
rivers.

Please send your detailed application with the usual
documents to: Marie-France.Sagot@inria.fr.

Unusual CVs are welcome.
