Overview
Umeå University, Department of Computing Science, is seeking outstanding candidates for 2 post-doc researcher stipends. The researchers are aimed to strengthen and broaden the current research group for Grid and Cloud Computing.
The group’s research is focused on the design and analysis of methods, algorithms and software for service-oriented grid and cloud infrastructures. Current and planned research topics include systems architecture design, resource brokering, scheduling, cloud infrastructure elasticity, distributed monitoring and accounting, job and workflow management, efficient use of virtualization techniques, cloud storage, as well as grid and cloud application development, e.g., in eScience application areas. See www.gird.se for an overview of ongoing projects. The stipends are part of an effort aimed to strengthen the group’s research in these areas and to broaden the research scope, e.g., by addressing new relevant topics. For additional simultaneous efforts, see www8.umu.se/umu/aktuellt/arkiv/lediga_tjanster/315-246-248-10.html.
The research is performed within large-scale national and international projects, including EU FP7 funded projects in close collaboration with major industrial and academic partners. Software is contributed to various open source community efforts including NorduGrid/ARC and the Globus Toolkit, the latter as a member of the Globus Academic Affiliate Program. The group is also a member of the NESSI workgroup on service-oriented infrastructure.
The research is performed in close collaboration with the High Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N) and the UMIT research laboratory at Umeå University. HPC2N is a member center of the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC), providing competence and computing resources, including grid resources. HPC2N actively takes part in Swegrid, NDGF, NorduGrid and EGEE. UMIT is an environment under build-up for interdisciplinary research in scientific, high-performance, distributed, real-time, and visual computing.
2 Post-doctoral researcher stipends
Ref: 223-803-10The stipends are aimed for post-doctoral research to be performed jointly with senior researchers and PhD students in our group, and with our collaboration partners. The stipends are on a competitive level and are for a period of two years.
Successful candidates should have earned a PhD in Computer Science or a related field relevant for our research, preferably not more than three years old. Research topics of interest span from distributed systems fundamentals to Grid and Cloud Computing infrastructures, virtualization technology, and their academic and industrial applications, including, e.g., eScience applications. New research directions of relevance to our current research are of interest. Industrial experience is also considered highly valuable. Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English are required.
Submitting your applicationA complete application should include:
• Introductory letter with a statement of research interest.
• Curriculum Vitae (CV).
• Copy of completed PhD thesis.
• Copies of exam certificates, including documentation of completed academic courses and their grades.
• Copies of original research publications.
• Description of software development experience.
• Contact information for three persons willing to act as references.
• Any other information relevant for the position.
All material should be submitted electronically or in a single printed copy. Electronically submitted material should be in MSWord or PDF format.
