for applicants interested in performing high-quality research on the connection between software engineering, database systems, and theoretical computer science as well as their applications in bioinformatics and business informatics. The research programme will start on October 1, 2013 until 30.09.2016. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – WissZeitVG).

This research programme is a joint activity of Professors Lehner, Assmann, Baader, Baier, Schill, Schlegel, Schroeder, and Strahringer at TU Dresden. Alongside their research, an individual mentoring and qualification approach are arranged with specialized courses that prepare them optimally for their research, a research seminar where they can meet internationally renowned researchers in the field, and soft skills and language courses.

Requirements: Applicants should have an excellent academic record, and hold a MSc (or an equivalent university degree) in computer science or related disciplines (such as mathematics, bioinformatics or business informatics). Fluency in spoken and written English is required. Applicants with a good knowledge of software engineering or one of the application areas mentioned above are preferred. TU Dresden is committed to increase the proportion of women in research.

Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to disabled people.

Please send enquiries to: wolfgang.lehner@tu-dresden.de

Applications consist of a CV, the names of two referees, transcipts of documents summarizing their academic performance, and a statement of interest. Application by email in pdf format is preferred, and should be submitted to wolfgang.lehner@tu-dresden.de in an electronically signed and encrypted form by July 30, 2013 (stamped arrival date of the university central mail service applies). Alternatively, applications can be sent to: TU Dresden, Fakultät Informatik, Institut für Systemarchitektur, Prof.  Dr.-Ing.  Wolfgang Lehner, 01062 Dresden, Germany.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to Dresden in the middle of August to give a presentation on their Master’s thesis and discuss their research interest with the participating professors. Candidates that have not yet finished their degree when they send in their application should send preliminary transcripts of their academic records as well as a letter by the thesis adviser that comments on their progress so far and on the expected date of completion of their MSc or equivalent degree.

1. TATA SCHOLARSHIP - Cornell University, New York State, USA
Tata, the Indian multinational conglomerate company, have a foundation known as the Tata Education & Development Trust which has endowed a multi million dollar sum to Cornell University to provide undergraduate scholarships to 20 Indian students every year.  In another example of supporting American universities, the Tata group also pledged US$50 million to Harvard University in recent years, whose executive management programme Ratan Tata attended in the 1970s.  Read more...  

2. BRADMAN FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP - University of Wollongong, Australia.
Named after Australia's cricket legend Donald Bradman, the UOW Bradman Foundation Scholarship was launched in 2012, with the help of Adam Gilchrist no less, to offer one successful Indian student each year a 50% reduction in tuition fees.  Read more...  

3. HUAWEI MAITREE SCHOLARSHIPS - Various Universities, China
Along with Tata, Huawei are the other huge corporation to be featured.  China's massive telecoms equipment vendor are involved in these scholarships offered to Indian students studying in China.  In 2013 there are 10 generous scholarships available which provide full tuition fees and living expenses.  The courses on which the scholarships are offered include Science and Technology courses, Social Sciences and Culture and Development courses.  Read more...

4. DR. MANMOHAN SINGH SCHOLARSHIPS - Cambridge University, England, UK
These scholarships have been designed to help budding Indian minds follow in the footsteps of Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh by studying at the prestigious Cambridge University.  The scholarships can be applied to any undergarduate course (with the two exceptions of medicine and veterinary science) and cover everything, i.e. tuition and college fees, living expenses and an additional grant to go towards travel expenses.  Read more...

5. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE SOCIETY OF INDIA - Oxford & Cambridge Universities, England, UK
As the name might suggest, these are scholarships available for students wishing to study at Oxford or Cambridge (cleverly known together as Oxbridge).  It is only available for applicants who are completing or have completed a degree at an Indian university, however these scholarships are for both undergraduate and graduate students.  Read more...

6. EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY - Scotland, UK
This one applies to all countries in the Indian subcontinent and is for both undergraduate and graduate courses. Edinburgh Napier University offers a merit based discount of £2,000 Pounds.  Read more...

7. SHEFFIELD UNIVERSITY - Sheffield, UK
Provides merit-based scholarships for undergraduate and graduate programmes across all subjects. Read more...

8. INDIA 4EU II - Several Universities across Europe
Pioneered by the European Union and involving partner universities in France, Finland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, the India 4EU II initiative is aimed at encouraging Indian students to study, work and live in Europe.  The initiative is well funded and allows the successful students tuition fees, expenses for living and travel costs as well as insurance during their time at one of the partner universities.  Read more...

9. TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN - Ireland
Valid for undergraduate courses in the faculties of Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, Computer Science or Engineering, the Trinity College Dublin offers Indian students scholarships to the tune of €9,000 per annum over a year degree course.  Read more...

10. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN - Ireland
Another of Ireland and Dublin's finest, the UCD awards one Global Excellence Undergraduate Scholarship which provides the worthy student a substantial 50% towards their tuition fees and is valid for all courses save medicine, radiography and veterinary medicine.  UCD also offers a Global Undergraduate Scholarship scheme for undergrads accepted on science, social sciences, arts and business courses.  This is all thanks to a €250,000 fund that will allow for 57 Indian students to benefit from scholarships at UCD.  Read more...

CABOG is one of many software programs called genome assemblers. These programs exist to overcome the fundamental limitation of all sequencing machines, namely, that they read out very few DNA letters at a time. These programs reconstruct genomes that are billions of letters long from the hundreds of letters per read that modern sequencers provide. What these programs do is often described as a scaled up version of a family solving a jigsaw puzzle.

The CABOG software was the first to accomplish many scientific goals. It was the first to assemble the genome of a multicellular organism (Drosophila melanogaster, 2000). It was the first to assemble both parental haplotypes of one human genome (J. Craig Venter, 2007). It was the first to assemble environmental sequence from the oceans (Sargasso Sea in 2004 and Global Ocean Sampling in 2007). It was first to combine reads from first-generation Sanger sequencing machines and second-generation pyrosequencing machines (Marine microbes, 2006). Today, CABOG is one of the leading assembly programs for data sets that include paired end data from the Roche 454 line of sequencing machines.
