Short info about job

Detail information about job Research Associate in Many-Core Compilation or Architecture. Terms and conditions vacancy

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 24 months.

Applications are invited for a Research Associate (PostDoc) to work on compilation or architectures for many-core processors, or across the boundaries between both.

** The Project **

Our research group focuses on a number of approaches to realise performance gains, reliability and energy efficiency for future many-core architectures, within the hardware and software.  A key component of our work is the exploitation of parallelism in its many different forms (e.g. using multiple application threads, vectorising code and exploiting the memory hierarchy).  This position is for a PostDoc with an open-ended remit to perform research in these areas, to complement and enhance existing work performed within the group.  Candidates from across the spectrum of compilation and computer architecture are encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will join a growing team of PostDocs and PhD students investigating performance, reliability and energy-efficiency in future many-core systems.  The position is within the Computer Architecture Research Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory.  Collaboration with researchers at other universities and industry around the world is encouraged and there are strong links within the group with local companies, especially ARM.  Responsibilities include the development of original, internationally-leading research, in addition to providing support for the PhD students on the project.

** Candidates **

We seek candidates with a strong background in Computer Science with an interest in compilers and / or computer architecture. Applicants should hold a PhD or have equivalent experience, though candidates who are close to submitting a PhD will be considered.  Candidates should provide evidence of relevant work, where possible, and must demonstrate a desire to perform internationally-leading research and to publish in the top conferences in the area.

** More Information **

The funds are available for a start date as soon as possible but some flexibility on this can be arranged.
