The Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen is offering two Ph.D. scholarships in deep probabilistic programming and protein structure prediction, commencing April 1st, 2020, or as soon as possible thereafter. The scholarships are made possible by a grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
The overall objectives of the project are (a) to predict the structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence (protein folding problem) by combining and advancing Bayesian statistics, deep learning and functional programming language technology and, (b) conversely, to advance high-performance deep probabilistic programming using the protein folding problem as a driving paradigm.
