Software Technology for Parallel programming on multicore computer systems
within new center of Excellence at Uppsala University
Deadline: Nov. 27,
More details below.
Uppsala University hereby declares the following positions open for application:
PhD and Post-Doctoral positions
Methods and tools for software development for multicore computer systems
Several Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral positions are available within the UPMARC
centre of excellence at Uppsala University. UPMARC has been formed to make a
broad coordinated attack on the challenges of developing methods and tools to
support software development for multicore computer systems, and brings
together research groups in complementary areas of computer science: computer
architecture, computer networks, parallel scientific computing, programming
language technology, real-time and embedded systems, program verification and
testing, and modeling of concurrent computation. UPMARC has recently been
awarded a ten year Linnaeus grant from the Swedish Research Council, as a sign
of scientific excellence.
Research directions of UPMARC span over programming language constructs,
program analysis and optimization, resource management for performance and
predictability, verification and testing, and parallel algorithm construction
and implementation.
UPMARC welcomes applications from candidates who want to conduct research
within one or more of these directions. At this time, we also specifically
announce positions in several projects, which are described at
http:/www.it.uu.se/research/upmarc/positions, where also more information about
UPMARC can be found.
A PhD position requires a Master of Science in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, or equivalent in a field which is relevant for the topic of the
PhD thesis. The position is for a maximum of five years and includes
departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching). The salary
amounts currently to about 22,200 SEK per month in the first year.
A Post-Doctoral position requires a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, or equivalent. The degree should typically have been obtained not
more than three years ago. A Post-Doctoral position is time-limited for a
maximum of two years, and may include some teaching (at most 20%).
Applications should include a description of research interests and past
experience, a CV, copies of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of Master or
Ph.D. thesis (or a draft thereof), relevant publications, and other relevant
documents. Candidates are encouraged to provide letter(s) of recommendation and
contact information to reference persons, and further to indicate their
preferred research project(s) or research direction(s), as well as earliest
feasible starting date of employment.
The department is striving to achieve a more equal gender balance and female
candidates are particularly invited to apply.
