Thread-topic: CALL - PhD position in eco-evolutionary bioinformatics

Dear member lists,

If anyone of you is interested or can forward it to other contacts:

PhD position in eco-evolutionary bioinformatics (University of Almería and EEZA-CSIC, Almería, Spain)

Deadline to accept candidates: November 10^th 2019

Are you a recently-graduated computer scientist who happens to be interested in nature, animals, animal behavior, ecology, evolution, the environment? or specific topics, such as the extinction of the dinosaurs, or how to improve biological pest control?

Then you could be interested in this opportunity to apply for a 4-year PhD scholarship to work on improving a Next-Generation Individual-Based model, Weaver, and bring it to the next level: parallel computing. With parallelization we will be able to scale up simulations to include larger and more complete ecosystems including up to tens of millions of individuals.

We seek for a highly motivated computer scientist from EU countries, and will only consider applicants having completed (or currently on their last year of) a MS in Computer Sciences, preferably on parallel computing or similar disciplines. The candidate should have finished his/her undergrad after January 1^st 2016, and hold top academic qualifications (i.e., within the top 10% of his/her undergraduate graduating class).

Annual salary (before taxes): 1^st year: 16,027.58€; 2^nd year: 17,279.5€; 3^rd year: 21,599.48€; 4^th year (having defended the PhD): 28,640.91€; 4^th year (without PhD defense): 21,599.48€.

Contact: Jordi Moya-Laraño (jordi@eeza.csic.es); Leocadio G. Casado (leo@ual.es); Juana López-Redondo (jlr526@ual.es).
