PhD Position in Phyloinformatics
Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich
The Exelixis Lab
Teaching and Research Unit Bioinformatics
Department of Computer Science

Exelixis Lab is the name for a new group which is funded under the auspices of the Emmy-Noether
program by the German Science Foundation (DFG). The group is headed by Alexandros Stamatakis
(http://icwww.epfl.ch/~stamatak/).

The main research focus is on computational methods for Evolutionary Biology and in particular:

1. on developing models, algorithms, and tools for Evolutionary Biology.
2. on using High Performance Computing techniques and developing programming models for emerging
parallel architectures, such as multi-core CPUs or the IBM CELL, for problems in Evolutionary Biology.

The lab offices are situated in the University Premises (Amalienstr., Schwabing) in downtown Munich
with a rich cultural life within minutes of walking to recover from a hard day’s work or continue coding in a
different environment. The net salary for this PhD position is around 1,500 EUR per month and the starting
date should be in September/October 2008.

Applicants may expect close supervision and collaboration with other group members. There are no
teaching obligations, but PhD students can participate at teaching activities if they like to.
Candidates should have a diploma or master’s degree in CS or Bioinformatics and outstanding programming
skills in C or C++. They should also have a strong background in algorithmic design and mathematical
modeling. Background knowledge in Biology, High Performance Computing techniques, and processor
architectures is not required, but will be a plus.

To apply for this position, you should send a CV, including a full listing of grades covering all courses
taken during your university studies, potentially a list of publications, two letters of recommendation as
well as the names and contact details of the two referees, a PDF of your master’s or diploma thesis,
and the source code of the largest piece of software you have written so far in C or C++ via email to
stamatakis@bio.ifi.lmu.de. This position will remain open until filled.
