Scholarship Provider: University of Geneva
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland

Eligibility:
creative and highly motivated people  with a strong interest in
biological molecular evolution and clear skills in optimisation and
parallelisation techniques

Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes

Scholarship Description: The successful candidates will extensively
compare the performances of existing stochastic heuristics (including
the ‘Meta-population Genetic Algorithm’, see www.metapiga.org^[1]), and
develop new ones, for large phylogeny inference. The code will also
have to be developed for Cloud/Grid as well as GPU computing

How to Apply: Please send (combined into one single pdf file) a brief
