Technician in Algorithms and Data Structures for Pangenome Analysis

The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) seeks a Technician to design, implement, and accelerate algorithms and data structures for pangenome and variation graph analysis. The role involves developing scalable methods for sequence-graph alignment, approximate search, indexing, and analysis of complex genomic data. The successful candidate will implement high-performance prototypes in C/C++, Python, and parallel environments, and collaborate with team members and academic or industrial partners on technology transfer projects. The position requires expertise in algorithms, data structures, performance engineering, and computational bioinformatics, with experience in pangenomes, variation graphs, and genomic formats.
