Educational and Employment Opportunities

There are several educational and employment opportunities within our laboratory.

Undergraduate Students of the Computer Science Department, University of Crete
Undergraduate students in CSD, Univ. of Crete that are interested in our research activities should come into contact with the lab regarding undertaking an undergraduate dissertation. Dissertations maybe supervised by any of the senior members of the lab. The dissertation topics are jointly decided with the student so as to better match their interests and abilities, as well as the current activities and needs of the laboratory.

Students Interested in Masters or Ph.D. Degree
Students interested in obtaining a Masters or Ph.D. degree from the Computer Science Department of University of Crete supervised by Prof. Ioannis Tsamardinos should contact him directly via email. Masters or Ph.D.’s may involve other senior members of the lab. To obtain a graduate degree a student should first be admitted to the Masters or Ph.D. Program of the CSD, Univ. of Crete. Please, inquire the department directly for details on the admission procedure. There are many possible projects and theses falling within the research activities of our laboratory. Typically, the joint goal of student and advisor is for the work performed towards a masters’ degree to be published in peer-reviewed scientific conference and journals.

Funding Opportunities for Students
Students (graduate and undergraduate) that join our laboratory are eligible for graduate or undergraduate student fellowships from the Institute of Computer Science, FORTH. Fellowships depend on availability of funds and academic merit; currently, we are happy that we are able to provide fellowships for all the students in our laboratory. Fellowships for undergraduate students range between 100-150 euro per month. Fellowships for Masters students range about 300-400 euro/month and for Ph.D. students up to 600 euro/month.

Students from Other Departments and Disciplines
Our group is involved in interdisciplinary research and is happy to accept members from other disciplines. A computer science degree is desired but not necessary. Intelligence, analytic thinking, and self-motivation for hard work are highly valued. Particularly, students from mathematics, applied mathematics, engineering, physics, biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, medicine and related fields are welcome. Students from other departments and institutes can also apply for FORTH fellowships once members.
