Subject: [DMANET] Postdoc position in Montpellier, France
Message-ID: <576172B9-3DC1-4AE5-BAA0-3B510370C405@lirmm.fr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8


Dear colleagues,

The LIRMM (http://www.lirmm.fr/lirmm_eng <http://www.lirmm.fr/lirmm_eng>), and ISE-M (http://www.isem.univ-montp2.fr/?lang=en <http://www.isem.univ-montp2.fr/?lang=en>) at Université de Montpellier, France, invite applications for an 18 month post-doctoral position in computational biology.

Context:
The research will take place in the context of a project bringing together specialists in computer science, applied mathematics and agronomy, to make use of the recent production of crop reference genomes. Such resources open opportunities to more efficient use of plant diversity in breeding programs. The full exploitation of these data requires development of new theoretical models and methods, as well as new bioinformatic tools. The successful candidate will closely collaborate with Celine Scornavacca (ISE-M), Fabio Pardi & Vincent Berry (LIRMM), and will benefit from the strong research environment of an internationally acknowledged site in computational biology and biomathematics (IBC), and in agronomy (CGIAR, Agropolis).

Objectives of the research:
Current crop genomes usually derive from a few domesticated ancestors that mainly follow a tree-like evolution, but subject to some hybridization events (recombination between different varieties). The history of these genomes is thus represented by a network (directed acyclic graph), rather than by a simple tree. The project aims at recovering this "phylogenetic" network from the study of the mosaic structure of current plant genomes, where different portions have different ancestral origins. This implies extending current tree inference / interpretation models and algorithms, and then applying the developed methodologies to genome-wide data.

Qualifications:
Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent. Previous postdoc experience is a plus. Candidates can be from different backgrounds: computational biology, computer science, or biomathematics (maximum likelihood optimization or statistics applied to evolutionary models). No deep knowledge of biology is required, as the necessary information will be acquired during the project. The candidates should be familiar with some techniques from the following areas: mathematical modeling, algorithmics, parameterized complexity, data structures, maximum likelihood, optimization and graph combinatorics.

Required qualities:
- Rigor, sense of initiative.
- Appeal for solving real problems and for interdisciplinary work.
- Communication skills (written and verbal) in English. Prior knowledge of French is not required.
- Programming skills are mandatory, though local engineers and students will back the successful candidate.

Salary and terms of employment:
The appointment will be based on the standards at Université de Montpellier, ensuring a net month salary of 2130€, which is largely adequate to the cost of living in Montpellier.

Workplace and period of employment:
The workplace is the main campus at Université de Montpellier (Triolet Campus), at 10mn by tram from the historical city center, and 15km from the Mediterranean Sea.
Expected start date of the contract is November 1, 2017, but a later start date may be negotiated. The position is intended for 18 months.

Deadline for application: October 15, 2016.
Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. The file must include: application cover letter, CV, PhD diploma, list of references, list of publications.

The 9th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical
and Social Computing (CPSCom2016)
http://umc.uestc.edu.cn/conference/cybermatics2016/CPSCom2016/

Dec. 15th-18th, 2016, Chengdu, Sichuan, China

**********************************************************************

As an emerging cross-disciplinary research area, the Cyber Physical
System (CPS) is attracting attention worldwide. A Cyber-Physical
System is a system featuring a combination of computational and
physical elements, all of which are capable of interacting, reflecting
and influencing each other. Furthermore, social systems are evolving
with cyber systems and physical systems along with the popularity of
online/mobile social networking. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing
and networking, future social networks turn into cyber-physical
interactions, which are attached with associated social attributes.
The emergence of the cyber-physical-social computing (CPSCom) will
significantly change the way we watch the world. Meanwhile, the
convergence of the cyber, physical, and social spaces will exhibit a
variety of complicated characteristics, which brings more open issues
and challenges for research communities.


The goal of this symposium is to promote community-wide discussion
identifying the Computational Intelligence technologies and theories
for Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing. We seek submissions of
papers which invent new techniques, introduce new methodologies,
propose new research directions and discuss approaches for unsolved
issues.

engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental and
theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case
studies, and trend-setting ideas in the areas of dependability,
security, trust and/or autonomic computing systems. Topics of
particular interests include the following tracks, but are not limited
to:


A.Wireless Sensing and Networking where intelligent entities exchange
information to achieve improved overall performance for both cyber and
physical components.
