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
