Overview

The Algorithmic Bioinformatics Lab is recruiting a PhD student funded by TeamPerMed Center for Data-Enriched Personalised Medicine. You will work with Professor Veli Mäkinen. The general scope of the work is studying compressed data structures and applying them in the development of scalable algorithms for genome analysis tasks. The position is devoted to studying haplotype phasing and imputation with noisy data resulting from approaches to protect privacy of genomic content of individuals. Collaboration opportunities exist with domain experts at the University of Tartu and with experts in differential privacy and in statistical and computational genomics at the University of Southern Denmark, the University of Helsinki, and the FIMM Group at the University of Helsinki.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on compressed data structures and their application to scalable genome analysis algorithms. • Develop and evaluate methods for haplotype pha...
