PhD scholarship: Parallel Computing for Bioinformatics (3 years)
================================================================
Applications are invited for a full-time PhD scholarship in the area of 
Parallel Computing for Bioinformatics. The scholarship is worth AU$16k per 
annum for three years. This PhD scholarship is co-funded between Griffith 
University (www.griffith.edu.au) and the Queensland Parallel 
Supercomputing Foundation (QPSF, www.qpsf.edu.au/) for research into 
parallel algorithms and parallel software for Bioinformatics. Research 
will involve work on parallel code for multiple sequence alignments 
(Clustal XP, http://clustalxp.cgmlab.org) and other Bioinformatics 
applications. The research is of an interdisciplinary nature and will be 
done within an international team from Australia, Canada, USA, and Europe 
(see http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/hpcvis/ and http://www.cgmlab.org). The 
successfull applicant will have a solid background in Computer Science and 
an interest in research that spans the development of larger parallel 
software packages, algorithmic research, and interaction with researchers 
in the Biosciences. Applicants should have a good academic record and be 
willing to work in a multidisciplinary field. 
Application Process: Send CV, transcripts, two letters of reference, and 
samples of research and development work to Professor Frank Dehne, 
http://www.dehne.net
