Offer Description

With the unprecedented growth of digital data, the demand for efficient and reliable storage solutions has become crucial. In response to this challenge, DNA storage has emerged as a promising medium for next-generation storage systems due to its compactness, high durability, and energy efficiency. However, the process of storing digital data in synthetic DNA is prone to deletion, insertion, and substitution errors that may affect the sequence of nucleotides during synthesis, sequencing, and storage.

This postdoc position offers an opportunity to contribute to the domain of error correction in DNA storage systems. The researcher will focus on designing, implementing, and optimizing innovative coding strategies and algorithms tailored specifically for encoding data using DNA, with a primary focus on ensuring the reliability of stored information in DNA.

• Conduct research in the field of coding for DNA storage, with a special emphasis on error-correcting codes.
• Design, implement, and evaluate novel coding schemes tailored for DNA data storage applications.
• Publish research findings in top-tier conferences and journals.
• Participate in team meetings and contribute to the overall research objectives of the Mediacoding team at I3S.
• Work closely with PhD students and interns.

This position in within the Mediacoding team – SIS at the I3S lab UMR7271 in Sophia Antipolis.
The Computer Science, Signals and Systems laboratory of Sophia Antipolis (I3S), created in 1989 conducts research in information and communication sciences. With nearly 300 people, teacher-researchers, CNRS and Inria researchers, administrative and technical staff, doctoral students and trainees, it is one of the largest public laboratories on the Côte d'Azur and was one of the first to be established in the Sophia Antipolis technology park.
