We are looking for PhD candidates to join the TACsy (Training Alliance for Computational Systems Chemistry) Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Joint Doctoral Network. This network consists of fifteen (15) highly interlinked PhD projects, of which this particular call is for project DC 1: Efficient Graph Canonicalization and Subgraph Finding Approaches for Typed Attributed Chemical Graphs. The application deadline is 23 October 2023. The anticipated start date is 1 January 2024, but flexibility in both directions is possible.
Chemical molecules are classically described as undirected graphs of bounded degree, with nodes representing atoms and edges representing bonds. Therefore, chemical reactions can be well described by graph transformation formalisms and methods. A computational framework for executing these methods has been developed, but there is a challenging need to expand it to allow for more detailed chemical information encoded in attributed graphs. This will require the generalization of established algorithmic approaches. One example of this is the canonicalization of molecular graphs that include stereochemical information – highly efficient canonicalization algorithms are key when huge chemical spaces are to be generated by graph transformation-based methods, but current algorithms do not incorporate stereochemical information.
The goal of this PhD project is to combine state-of-the-art approaches from graph theory, algorithms, and algorithm engineering in order to develop the basis of ground-breaking computational methods applicable to the analysis of large networks of chemical reactions.
We are seeking an excellent and highly motivated individual with an MSc degree in computer science or a related subject. The ideal candidate has familiarity with one or more of the following areas: algorithmics, category theory, graph theory, graph transformation, algorithm engineering. Proven competences in programming and ease with formal thinking are a necessity.

Please note that there are two limitations to apply for this programme, as specified in the MSCA regulations. Applicants must:
- Not be in possession of a PhD degree at the date of recruitment.
- Meet the Marie-Curie mobility rule (see pages 81-82 here). In TACsy, this means the applicants are not eligible for a specific position if it is true for both host institutions of the position that the applicant for more than 12 of the last 36 months has resided or performed a main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of that host institution. The host institutions relevant to this rule are for the present call located in (DC 1: Denmark and Germany), (DC 3: Austria and Germany), (DC 6: Austria and Germany), (DC 12: Austria and Denmark), (DC 13: Austria and Denmark).
These positions are subject to the entry into force of grant agreement no 101072930 by and between the European Research Executive Agency and University of Southern Denmark and thereby funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme.
