I am currently looking for a PhD student to work on a new project analyzing the folding of unstructured proteins.
It is expected the student will be enrolled in the EECS graduate group but the work would be done in collaboration with researchers in the Center for Computational Biology at UC Merced and the Quantitative Systems Biology graduate group.
This position is expected to start in Fall 2008 and will be funded by external research grants.
The official deadline for applying for graduate studies for Fall 2008 at UC Merced has passed but we will accept applications until the position is filled.
Desired qualifications:
- A BS or preferably an MS in CS, EE or related areas.
- Coursework and/or research in pattern recognition.
- Biology/bioinformatics experience plus.
- Strong mathematical basis.
- Strong programming skills.

The Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS) graduate group at UC Merced consists of 7 core faculty and 14 PhD students. The group has collective interests in machine learning, computer vision, speech processing, computer graphics, robotics, sensor networks, intelligent systems and computational neuroscience, among others. UC Merced is the tenth campus of the University of California and the first American research university built in the 21st century. It is located in the California Central Valley, at one hour drive fromYosemite National Park and two hours from San Francisco.
