Official job advert at Euraxess

We're looking for a CS/Math/IT graduate, for an EU project funded 3-year postion, with the posibility of doing a PhD. You should have obtained your degree between September 2008 - September 2012, and not have lived in Spain for more than 12 months within the last 3 years; those two are essential requirements.

It will really help if you have experience with
  • functional programming (preferably Scala, but Haskell and/or ML will also be OK)
  • AWS, particularly EC2, S3 and DynamoDB.
  • concurrency in Scala: akka, fundamentally futures and dataflow concurrency.
Knowledge and/or interests
  • category theory. The more you know, the better! in particular,
  • monoidal categories (traced monoidal, with feedback, compact-closed) and its relationship with notions of computation (geometry of interaction, semantics of processes, etc). Even more in particular, the work of RFC Walters et al on concurrency and distributed systems.
  • enriched category theory, of the flavour often used in functional programming (cartesian base category). This means strong monads and comonads, applicative functors, etc.
  • string matching/indexing, weighted finite-state transducers and related matters such as compact directed acyclic word graphs.
  • bioinformatics, more specifically NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) data management and analysis.
Apply before July 5.
