A postDoc position (12 months) is currently open in the framework
of ANITI (the Interdisciplinary Artificial Intelligence Institute
of Toulouse) and of the ANR-funded project SPACEHEX, targeted at
molecular design using toulbar2, our award-winning C++ weighted
constraint programming solver (https://github.com/toulbar2/toulbar2).
The postdoc will be targeted at the extension of toulbar2 towards multiple criteria optimization with the ultimate goal of designing self-assembling proteins. The postdoc will have to design, characterize, code and benchmark algorithms inside toulbar2, in collaboration with the main toulbar2 designers and developers in the MIAT/INRAE lab.
In collaboration with experimented computational structural biologists from Toulouse Biotech Institute (TBI), he/she will eventually also be able to test/apply the developed algorithms on challenging molecular design problems, leading to molecules that will be ultimately wet-lab-synthesized and tested for real.
We seek motivated candidates with a strong background in computer science, with good programming skills in C++. Previous knowledge and experience in either constraint programming or discrete graphical models optimization or weighted satisfiability (weighted maxSAT) or 0/1 mathematical programming is a very strong plus. Interest in biological applications is a plus. Previous knowledge and experience on biological problems is a appreciated but not necessary.
The PhD candidate will be recruited at MIAT-INRAE in Toulouse. The position can start as soon as September 2022, for 12 months.
If you're interested, please don't hesitate to contact us and to send us your curriculum vitae accompanied with a motivation letter.
