PhD Position in Computer Architecture, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

The Computer Systems group at Chalmers conducts research on high-performance and low-power computing, including the design and analysis of 1) efficient architectures for mainstream down to embedded platforms, 2) systems-level software to exploit interesting hardware platforms, and 3) verifiable tools to enable more efficient, accurate design space exploration.

Chalmers is a partner in the HiPEAC European Network of Excellence.

The European ERA (Embedded Reconfigurable Architectures) project studies tradeoffs among reconfigurability, performance, and power within the context of heterogeneous, multi-core systems. Chalmers efforts address the balance between performance and power consumption (at all levels), and reconfigurable memory hierarchy design, in particular. We are recruiting for one PhD position.

Job description
The appointee must also have been admitted to Chalmers Doctoral Programme. PhD student positions are limited to five years and will then normally include 20% departmental work, mostly teaching duties. Admission and employment are regulated by Chalmers’s “Rules of Procedure for Doctoral Programmes”, §4 and §5. Salary follows the agreement for PhD student positions.

Work start should be as soon as possible.

Required qualifications
Applicants shall have a master’s Degree or equivalent (Sw. civilingenjörsexamen) in Computer Engineering or related discipline. As for all PhD studies, a genuine interest and curiosity in the subject matter and excellent analytical and communication skills (in speaking and in writing) are required. Further, since the research work normally involves developing tools to model detailed computer architectures/systems, good mathematics and programming skills are important. Successful candidates will have a profound interest in computer architecture and a foundation in design principles of both processors and memory systems. Experience with operating systems and compilers is a plus.

PhD Position in Geomatics / GIS, University of Florida, USA

Computation of Scenic Routes in Street Networks

The Geomatics Program at the University of Florida is seeking a PhD candidate to develop efficient algorithms for finding multiple-criteria optimal paths in street networks with a focus on scenic and touristic routes. This PhD research will compare heuristic and deterministic approaches and test them for scalability (large vs. small networks), and sensitivity to different network characteristics. Another aspect of this research involves consideration of Web 2.0 data mining techniques for the automated identification of scenic locations within a street network.

This PhD work will be carried out at UF’s Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center (http://flrec.ifas.ufl.edu/), which is located about 20 miles north of Miami and hosts several academic programs. The position is funded through a Google research grant and other research projects. The start date for this position is January 2011. This position includes a tuition waiver, health insurance, and an annual stipend. Funding for up to 4 years is available.

Eligibility: Suitable applicants should meet the following requirements:

  • A master’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Geographic Information Science or other related analytical disciplines.
  • Experience in computer programming and GIS. Development and testing of network based search algorithms will be central to the success of the research.
  • The applicant should have a solid background in graph theory and optimization problems.
  • Excellent communication skills in both written and spoken English.
