(Please forward to anyone who might be interested)
If you are interested in a PhD developing open source tools for cheminformatics, I would be interested to hear from you. The Irish Research Council has just opened this year's call for PhD applications for PhDs starting next September. This competitive funding is open to EU students only and is offered on the basis of the student's merit.
The student will be based in the School of Pharmacy, University College Cork. The exact project will depend on the background and interest of the student but will involve the development of software or algorithms in the area of cheminformatics. I have a track record of involvement in international collaborations on open source software such as OpenBabel, as well as developing novel algorithms in cheminformatics, and scoring functions for protein-ligand docking.
If interested, please send your CV along with a cover letter addressed to Dr. Noel O'Boyle at baoilleach@gmail.com. The cover letter should briefly describe why you are interested in applying for a PhD with me. Note that the IRCSET deadline is 10th February so applicants should get in touch as soon as possible.
