A postdoc position (12 months) is currently open in the framework of
ANITI (Interdisciplinary Artificial Intelligence Institute of Toulouse,
France) 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 and 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 appreciated but not necessary.
The postdoc candidate will be recruited at MIAT - INRAE in Toulouse, France.
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.
