Several PhD positions are available at the Uppsala Programming for Multicore Architectures Research Center (UPMARC), Department of Information Technology, Uppsala University Sweden.

Deadline: 22 April 2009

General Description

UPMARC has been formed to make a broad coordinated attack on the challenges of developing methods and tools to support software development for multicore computer systems, and brings together research groups in complementary areas of computer science: computer architecture, computer networks, parallel scientific computing, programming language technology, real-time and embedded systems, program verification and testing, and modeling of concurrent computation. UPMARC has been awarded a ten year Linnaeus grant from the Swedish Research Council, as a sign of scientific excellence.   Research directions span of UPMARC span over programming language constructs, program analysis and optimization, resource management for performance and predictability, verification and testing, and parallel algorithm construction and implementation. UPMARC welcomes applications from candidates who want to conduct research within one or more of these directions. At this time, we also specifically announce positions in several projects, which are described at http://www.it.uu.se/research/upmarc/, where also more information about UPMARC can be found.

Requirements

A PhD position requires a Master of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent in a field which is relevant for the topic of the PhD thesis. The position is for a maximum of five years and includes departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching). The salary amounts currently to about 22,200 SEK per month in the first year.

Application

Applications should include a description of research interests and past experience, a CV, copies of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of Master thesis (or a draft thereof), relevant publications, and other relevant documents. Candidates are encouraged to provide letter(s) of recommendation and contact information to reference persons, and further to indicate their preferred research project(s) or research direction(s), as well as earliest feasible starting date of employment.

The department is striving to achieve gender balance therefore are female candidates particularly invited to apply.

into a rigorous approach. The technical core of the project is an Abstract
Behavioral Specification language which will allow precise description
of SWPF features and components and their instances. For further
information see:

http://www.hats- project.eu

FELLOWSHIPS: Sustainability Science (Harvard)

URL: http://www.cid.harvard.edu/sustsci/grants/fellows/09_fellows_RFP.htm

The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University’s Center for
International Development invites applications for resident
fellowships in sustainability science for the University’s academic
year beginning in September 2009.

This year we will give some preference to applicants who address the
challenges related to meeting human needs for water or
food/agriculture/land use in the context of sustainable development.
In addition to general funds available to support this fellowship
offering, special funding for the Giorgio Ruffolo Fellowships in
Sustainability Science is available to support citizens of Italy or
developing countries who are therefore especially encouraged to apply.

Applications are due January 15, 2009.
