PhD Position in Efficient Methods for Exact Solutions of Complex Problems in Molecular Biology, University of Lübeck, Germany

Description : The Graduate School for Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/) at the University of Lübeck invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship. Application deadline: June 30, 2009. Project description: The Theoretical Computer Science group has worked on algorithmic methods to process complex data, in particular with inductive learning and data mining techniques. Besides sequential algorithms, speedup methods by massive parallelism have also been investigated. The Biology group has specialised on the analysis of intracellular protein transport. We analyzed data for multiple sequence alignment problems (MSA). 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. Requirements: Candidates are expected to have a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering. Prior experiences in scientific publishing (during the university study or industry employment) are of advantage. Please prepare all the necessary documents and submit your application online: http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/?q=node/20.
