The center seeks candidates who will be engaged in research aimed at developing computational methods for various forms of existing biological data, especially chemical compounds, drugs, and pathways. The methods to be developed should be based upon statistics, machine learning, data mining, numerical computation, algorithmics or combinatorics. The candidate should have a Ph.D. and solid technical experience in one of the above fields or another field in computer science or a similar quantitative area of study. The applicant should be enthusiastic and energetic in doing new research in bioinformatics and should have sufficient programming skills in C, C++ or Java. Kyoto University's Bioinformatics Center is situated 15 km south of downtown Kyoto and 40 km north of the center of Nara, and is thus conveniently located near Japan's two most famous historical cities. The location is ideal for you to both enjoy Japan's traditional beauty and to devote yourself to research in bioinformatics. Please send your detailed curriculum vitae (including list of publications, brief summary of your past work, and at least three references) to: Dr. Hiroshi Mamitsuka Bioinformatics Center Kyoto University Email: mami at kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mar 14, 2007 From: Ying Yang Subject: PhD Scholarship in Data Mining and Machine Learning, Australia PhD Scholarship in Data Mining and Machine Learning Faculty of IT, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia Applications are invited for a three-year full-time PhD scholarship in data mining and machine learning to start in Year 2007.

Applicants for the PhD scholarship should: 1. have an undergraduate (honors) or master degree in computer science; 2. be interested in data mining and machine learning research; 3. possess very good programming skills in Java, C/C++, etc. The successful applicant will join the data mining and machine learning research group at the renowned Monash University, Australia. The group has been very active in producing high-quality research and publications. For more information, please contact: Dr. Ying Yang Deputy Director of KnowSys Research Lab Faculty of Information Technology Monash University, Melbourne, Australia Email: ying.yang@infotech.monash.edu.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mar 21, 2007 From: cinda heeren Subject: Data Science Summer Institute at UIUC The University of Illinois Department of Computer Science is looking for students interested in an in-depth experience in information science to participate in a new 8-week summer institute. The Data Sciences Summer Institute is a program combining intensive mathematical studies, with collaborative, publishable research projects, and week-long immersive tutorials in the specific areas of study of: databases and information integration natural language processing and information extraction computer vision information retrieval and web information access machine learning and data mining Stipend, room, and board are available. Applications will be reviewed beginning April 1 (though there is no deadline to enroll). If you know of students who would like to: Contribute side-by-side with world-renowned researchers on an authentic, publishable research project in information science Gain practical experience in these areas of study Participate in an intensive study in the mathematical foundations of information science then please encourage them to join us in Urbana-Champaign this summer.
