especially in the area of bioinformatics. Program partners are Freiburg=20=

University, Germany, Imperial College London, UK, Univ. of Helsinki,=20
Finland, INRIA Rocquencourt, France, Universita' di Firenze, Italy,=20
Aalborg University, Denmark, and Univ. of York, UK. Tight scientific=20
collaboration is expected among all the research partners.

We are especially interested in applicants with a strong background and=20=

experience in computational logic and machine learning. Experience in=20
other related areas such as relational learning systems, probabilistic=20=

relational models, kernel methods on discrete structures, is also=20
desiderable.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The position is available immediately and can be renewed for up to=20
