Halmstad University, School of Information Technology

We are looking for a reseacher engineer in information technology with special focus on designing heterogeneous many-core architectures

Job Description

The position is funded by the “Towards Next Generation Embedded Systems: Utilizing Parallelism and Reconfigurability” project, which is a Indo-Swedish Collaboration project funded by Vinnova, Sweden and Department of Science and Technology (DST), India.

The technical objectives of our research agenda are to:

  • identify and characterize key properties (performance, programmability, flexibility and determinism) for compute devices in the embedded domain,
  • develop methodologies for efficient execution of applications that cater to a diverse set of user constraints (such as performance, energy, area foot-print and cost) and are independent of the target implementation,
  • develop architectural solutions that will provide a natural support for smart parallelism and execution schedulability in applications and
  • validate the design flow with a diverse set of real-world use-cases.

Key-concepts involved to achieve these objectives include: domain specific languages; heterogeneous manycore architectures; and stream processing.

Qualifications

The suitable candidate has recently received, or is expecting to finalize within a few months, a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or closely related fields. Particular strength or experience in parallel computer architectures and parallel program­ming is very welcome.

Only those who are or have been admitted to third-cycle courses and study programs at a higher education may be appointed to doctoral studentships (The Higher Education Ordinance chapter 5, Section 3).

A person meets the general entry requirements for third-cycle course and study programs if he or she:

  1. has been awarded a second-cycle qualification having obtained a university degree,
  2. has fulfilled the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or
  3. has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad. (The Higher Education Ordinance chapter 7, section 39)
