PostDoc position in machine learning and graph databases for microbial genome recovery, AAU, Denmark
The position is part of the VILLUM Synergy project "Data Science meets Microbial Dark Matter". In this project, we want to apply machine learning and graph-based analysis to improve the recovery rate of microbial genomes from complex microbial communities. As a post doctoral researcher in the project you will be working in the intersection between machine learning and bioscience. You will develop (probabilistic) machine learning algorithms for binning/clustering sequencing data represented and stored as assembly graphs in large graph databases. The position is affiliated with the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University (AAU), Denmark. As the project is inherently cross-disciplinary, you will also work closely with researchers from bioscience (http://albertsenlab.org/). The postdoc position is initially for one year, with the possibility of extension for up to 2 years based on mutual agreement. Requirements: ------------------- * PhD in computer science, data science, or a related field * Excellent communication skills in English, oral as well as written * Good programming skills * Publication record in peer-reviewed conferences and journals * Ability to work independently and in collaboration with others * Experiences in (probabilistic) machine learning and database technologies (preferably graph databases) Responsibilities: ---------------------- * Perform excellent scientific research * Develop research prototypes and conduct experiments * Publish in international conferences and journals * Participate in activities of the group, the project, and the department About Aalborg University: ---------------------------------- The Computer Science Department at Aalborg University takes a leading international position within data management and verification. It is a very young university (1972) but with a strong international profile in Mathematics Computer Science & Engineering, also hosting the two most highly cited Computer Scientists of the country. According to the most recent US News and World Ranking, Aalborg University ranks 4th in the world within the field of Engineering. According to a 2018 MIT report, Aalborg University is considered to have the 4th best engineering program in the world. About Aalborg: -------------------- Aalborg is a lively city with numerous cultural attractions. The area features relatively low cost of living, clean air, beautiful forests and beaches, and very good transportation infrastructure. A recent report on European cities ranks Aalborg highest: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docgener/studies/pdf/urban/survey2013_en.pdf .
