</div>
<div class="">I am looking for a <b class="">PhD student </b>and a<b class=""> Postdoc in Algorithmic Bioinformatics</b>, to join my team at the University of Helsinki. I am leading the <a href="https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/algorithmic-bioinformatics/teams/graph-algorithms" class="">Graph
Algorithms team</a>, of the wider <a href="https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/algorithmic-bioinformatics" class="">Algorithmic Bioinformatics research group</a>. These positions are partially funded by an ERC Starting Grant on <a href="https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/algorithmic-bioinformatics/teams/graph-algorithms/safebio-erc-starting-grant" class="">Safe
and Complete Algorithms for Bioinformatics</a>.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Current research topics include: string algorithms for pangenome graphs; safe string alignment solutions (i.e. base pairs appearing in all optimal and suboptimal alignments) and their correlation with protein function over the tree of life; graph
algorithms for genome, RNA and viral assembly from genomic sequencing data. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">University of Helsinki hosts an active and wonderful Algorithmic Bioinformatics community, with interests ranging from theoretical computer science, to algorithm engineering and practical bioinformatics methods, and from graph algorithms to string
algorithms.</div>
