Scholarship in Sweden: Three PhD positions in Computer Science at Uppsala University

Deadline: 4 June, 2010

at the Department of Information Technology for the project: Methods and tools for real-time software development on multicore platforms

The positions are supported by a five-year grant from the Swedish Strategic Research Foundation (SSF) to develop methods and tools for embedded and real-time applications on multicore platforms. Research directions include (1) parallelization of embedded software, (2) modeling, profiling, and prediction of timing and performance properties, (3) resource-aware mapping and scheduling, all focusing on multicore platforms.

The department has recently been awarded a ten year Linnaeus grant from the Swedish Research Council to establish the UPMARC centre of excellence, which brings together groups in complementary areas, including computer architecture, computer networks, embedded systems, verification and testing, and programming languages, to make a coordinated attack on the challenges of programming multicore systems. The announced positions are placed within UPMARC.

A successful candidate should have a master of science inComputer Science, Engineeringor equivalent. The PhD positions are for a maximum of five years and include departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching).
