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€.
