Call for expression of interest for two positions of PhD Students in the field of Bioinformatics or Computer Science in the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH)

Alexandros Stamatakis (Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)) aims to establish an international research team called the Biodiversity Computing Group (BCG) in Crete with a focus on developing tools, energy-efficient and parallel algorithms and models for analyzing Biodiversity data. ICS-FORTH, located at Heraklion Crete Greece, is one of the most prominent computer science research institutions in Greece, with an outstanding record of scientific achievements, state of the art infrastructure and a broad range of research and innovation activities. BCG will closely collaborate with local biodiversity research centers, namely the Natural History Museum of Crete and the Hellenic Center for Marine Research. It will also maintain close ties and exchange ideas as well as researchers with the Computational Molecular Evolution group of A. Stamatakis at HITS and the computer science department of KIT. PhD Candidates are expected to be inscribed as PhD students at the University of Crete – note that there are no tuition fees in Greece.
